SRK and the Kolkata Knight Riders

Sunday, April 20, 2008 was a memorable day for me. After all, I caught the Knight Riders in action LIVE at the Eden Gardends! Yes, I did get to see Shah Rukh Khan too, a feat that I had imagined as being near impossible. It was evident that besides the match, the crowd had gathered in large numbers to see the Bollywood star and his entourage. What I cannot understand is the bitterness in media circles on this aspect. When you have someone like SRK coming down to Kolkata and a team like the Knight Riders playing , what are the crowds supposed to do? Ignore the fact??? Cricket has certainly not lost anything with the IPL. In fact, it has gained ground. Cricket and glamour have always gone hand in hand, only this time there is a pressure to perform well. So let us all sit back and enjoy the good times ahead with similar sporting events. Great going, SRK!!!!
