SRK confident of new Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL team, captained by Gautam Gambhir, indeed looks a stronger side than the previous ones


He may have been at the receiving end of flak for not including Kolkata's homeboy Sourav Ganguly in the team, but Shahrukh Khan is pretty confident that the revamped Kolkata Knight Riders will perform much better than KKR teams in previous three seasons of the IPL tournament.

The team, helmed by Gautam Gambhir, indeed looks a stronger side than the previous ones. Its opening match with last year's champs Chennai Super Kings went down to the wire and some might say that KKR would have won the game had they not self-destructed themselves.

On Monday, Shahrukh Khan at last got a reason to cheer up as his team recorded its first win in IPL 4 against Deccan Chargers, the winners of the second IPL. Quite heartily, KKR posted a total of 163 on board (highest total so far in this tournament). The win was particularly special as it came at Eden Gardens in Kolkata where the crowd was lesser than expected but still cheered SRK's team despite Ganguly's absence.

Sensing the mood of the Kolkatans, Shah Rukh dedicated Tuesday's win to Ganguly.

"I came back only for the fans. I wanted to do this for Knight Riders, the fans of Kolkata. I wanted to do this for Sourav Ganguly. I want my team KKR to win the IPL for Kolkata and Sourav Ganguly," Shahrukh said after the match.

The superstar also expressed his confidence in the new team.

"It is a stronger, more balanced side and I am sure we will perform well in this IPL," Shahrukh said.

The superstar has been more composed while cheering his team from the stands. Gone are the euphoric outbursts after the win. What we now see is a calmer SRK who's seen losses one too many to know that it's a long way to win the cup.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec
