Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], October 20 (ANI): Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Eoin Morgan on Tuesday said that fans are being missed in the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) and their support is irreplaceable.

"The KKR fan anthem is our way of honouring our fans while capturing their sentiments. We want to convey our love to the fans across the country in a special way and this anthem is dedicated to them, for the KKR team they truly are "Tu Fan Nahi Toofan Hai," he added.
Commenting on the Fan anthem, Shah Rukh Khan, Co-Owner KKR, says, "I have been attending the matches and I truly miss the energy of our toofani fans! Since we have to show our love to each other thoda door se this year, we created a fan anthem that captures the emotions of all our fans aptly and was even launched by them today. It was great fun to interact with the team today and we hope to keep making our fans proud".
