Shahrukh abandons Kolkata Knight Riders

Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 12:18 [IST]
Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan was the backbone of Kolkata Knight Riders and still is. He is not just the owner of the team but a motivator and fan. He was spotted cheering tirelessly for his boys in the previous sessions of the IPL, but this year, he missed few matches. And now, he has decided to leave them alone in their 'do or die' match against the Chennai Super Kings today.

Shahrukh thinks his presence at the stands adds pressure to his boys. “No i wont come to chennai for the match. think the team needs to introspect & play without my interference...emotional or physical," Shahrukh wrote on his Twitter page. “ha ha someone said better way to pray at kkr matches will help...i dont think so...i think better play at kkr matches will help our cause," he added.

The Kolkata Knight Riders has to win all the remaining three matches, including the match against the Chennai Super Kings today, to stay in contention for a semi-final berth.

Watch out for Shahrukh's boys!

I wish KKR all the very best. if SRK feels that he should pray for KKR's win.. then be it. I admire Dhoni as a player as well... so difficuklt.. but my loyalty lies with dada and SRK.. My prayers are in too !

THE TRUTH IS WHETHER HE IS PRESENT OR NOT MAKES THE LEAST BIT TO THE TEAM IN THE MIDDLE BECAUSE CRICKET MATCH IS NOT WON BASED WHO IS THE OWNER, WHO IS CHEERING FOR YOU AND WHO IS PAYING YOU HOW MUCH. IT ONLY DEPENDS ON THE PLAYERS FORM, UNITY, SKILLS AND HOW THEY PLAY AS A UNIT COMBINED WITH LUCK WHICH ENSURES A WIN. SO SRK BEING OR LEAVING KKR MAKES A DAMN DIFFERENCE TO CRICKET.

he never comes to chennai becos nobody in chennai respects him! he doesnt have the stardom value in TN, hence he skips. see history of IPL matches held in chennai against KKR...
