Shahrukh Khan won’t disown KKR

Unlike the reports that the owners of Kings XI Punjab are gearing up to sell off the outfit after the team’s dismal performance in this year’s IPL T20 tournament, Shahrukh Khan is sticking by his team Kolkata Knight Riders despite a poor show put up by skipper Saurav Ganguly’s team.

In the first two years of IPL, KKR could not make it to the semifinals and this year too it is all but out of the race for the semis though just a slight theoretical chance (if other teams lose and the run rate is favourable) still exists for them to make it to the semis this year.

Meanwhile, rumours have been afloat that Shahrukh Khan, who owns a large chunk of the team, is thinking of disowning the KKR.

“Everyone jumps to silly conclusions as soon as we lose. Idiots who don't know perseverance and passion make me who I am,” SRK wrote on his Twitter page.

“KKR is my team and I will never ever leave it, said millions of times before,” he made it absolutely clear.
