IPL 2010: SRK, the sport!

Shah Rukh Khan has quite a few reasons to smile these days. For starters, having won four of the eight matches they’ve played till date, his team is performing far better in this season of the IPL versus last year when they ended the season at the bottom of the table.

Now, the Badshah doesn’t make a personal appearance at every match his team plays, but whenever he does, one can see him and his entourage busy cheering for the boys. But that’s not what caught our attention at a recent match. The venue was Kolkata’s Eden Garden grounds and his boys had just beaten the mighty Hyderabad team, right on home turf. Of course, the crowds were ecstatic but even more obvious was the joy on SRK’s face as he hugged captain Saurav Ganguly. But instead of sporting the deep purple and gold colours of his team, SRK was wearing the jersey of the team that his boys had so convincingly whipped. He even pointed it out to the people around him. Guess being on the winning side does bring out the true spirit of sportsmanship in SRK.
