Shah Rukh in Jaipur ODI, likely to discuss IPL bid with Modi

JAIPUR: He may have played a hockey coach in Chak De India but cricket seems closer to the heart of Shah Rukh Khan, who made a guest appearance in the fifth and final India-Pakistan ODI in Jaipur on Sunday.

The actor is reportedly interested in buying a franchise in the Indian Premier League, which would make him owner of a Twenty20 side, and incidentally, Modi is the Chairman of the IPL Governing Council.

Though here he was just to watch the match, Shah Rukh is likely to discuss the issue with Modi.

"Well, he is interested in buying a team in the IPL. So even if he discusses the issue with Modi, there is nothing unusual about it," an RCA official said.

Attired in white shirt and black trousers and sporting a ponytail, the actor joined Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) President Lalit Modi to share his views on the match to anchor Rameez Raja.

"It's great to see the camaraderie between the players. They are talking to each other and enjoying the game, it feels good," the actor said.
