Shah Rukh Khan urges fans to avoid comparison with Ganguly – Cricket News Update
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has urged the fans to stop correlating him with the former Kolkata Knight Riders’ skipper, Sourav Ganguly, requesting to end their childish behavior.
"Grow up please. This is sport. Let's play it like a sport. We keep on talking about Kings and Khans... This is c**p to be honest. I say this with love and respect to all of you," said SRK.
Ganguly, who led KKR in first three seasons of the IPL, is now heading the Pune Warriors after the franchise scooped him last year and made him captain this term following an illness to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364. However, the costliest outfit has endured a tough season,
where they currently sit second from bottom on the points table, with Dada failing to impress with the bat.
Despite Ganguly’s mediocre performances, he is always held in high regards among all the Bengali fans, who support him wholeheartedly. This scenario was evident when the Warriors took on KKR at Eden Gardens, where the crowd came in numbers to support the
left-hander, while criticizing King Khan for snubbing the ‘Prince of Kolkata’ in the past – terming the clash as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LN-Onyango-c1844 vs Khan battle.
The 46-year-old actor clarified that there is no rift between him and Ganguly, as both of them are enjoying a good relationship. He further stressed the fans to respect the status of their cricketing hero.
“We should all be cheering for the greatness that he has achieved instead of making him small with these comparisons and belittling the importance of what http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 has achieved in Indian sports history," said the actor.
Shah Rukh, when asked if he is interested to hire Dada as a KKR’s mentor, told that while the team management acknowledges the veteran’s expertise and talent, there remains a remote possibility of him joining his former club.
“We wish him all the best. We wish him whenever he plays. He is one of the great legends the country will ever see in any sport,” added http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319.
The return match between the two sides will be played on May 19. Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 is already out of the tournament as they have won only four matches out of fifteen; while Knight Riders are looking forward to win at least one of their two remaining matches
in order to qualify for the play-offs.
