T20 Match is Multiplex of Cinema Halls: SRK

Is the Indian Premier League changing cricket from a sport to a business venture? No, says Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan. His captain Sourav Ganguly agrees. CNN-IBN editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai caught up with two Knights for this exclusive interview.

Rajdeep Sardesai: Who’s the hero of the team?

Sourav Ganguly: Shah Rukh.

Shah Rukh Khan: I’m just a fan of the team. We are very clear. We are only going to praise each other in public and privately I believe that I’m a fan of the Knight Riders. I’m the 12th man of the team.

Rajdeep Sardesai: You are indeed the 12th man of the team because the other day when you beat Delhi in that fantastic game at the Eden Gardens, you were running around the field like a 12 year old who had just been given his first lollypop in a sense.
