Shahrukh Khan no need return to SA

Shahrukh Khan need not bother to return to South Africa now to cheer his Kolkata Knight Riders. After the dismal performance of his much hyped team, he had returned back to India ostensibly to cast his vote in the General Elections.

He had said that if his team turned around, he would return to cheer them on. But, the miserable way in which the Kolkata Knight Riders folded up against the Delhi Dare Devils (minus Virendra Sehwag) came as a shock. The team batting first posted a fairly good score of 154 but was unable to defend it. The culprit was their inept fielding – dropped catches has become a habit. Also, Sourav Ganguli played the role of a player – nothing beyond that. He could have gone in to bat after the fall of the 2nd wicket (that of Brad Hodge in the 13th over) but did not. Neither did he bowl. Were these his own decisions or were these the wishes of the Captain and Coach? These questions might never be answered.
