A day after Kolkata Knight Riders crashed their second consecutive defeat losing to Mumbai Indians on their home ground Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan reposed his trust in his team.
SRK, owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, says he is confident that his team will win the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 trophy.
"We Knight Riders are positive. We know that we will win some matches and lose some. But ultimately the IPL trophy will be ours," SRK said on Wednesday before leaving the city.
After starting their campaign on a high note winning their first two matches - against Bangalore Royal Challengers and Deccan Chargers, the Sourav Ganguly-led Knight Riders lost to Kings XI Punjab and then a resurgent Mumbai Indians Tuesday night.
"The seniors like Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting know that to achieve success you have to understand and accept failure. But the youngsters in the team were feeling a bit low. So I decided to stay back with them here a little longer. We even arranged for a private get-together and danced till 4 am," the King Khan said.
"Kolkatans know that Knight Riders will never let them down. As for me, I have been successful for the last 20 years because I know how to ride over failure. Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye haarna bhi parta hai aur haarkar jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hai. And we are beyond baazigars, we are the Knight Riders," SRK said recollecting his famous dialogue from the film "Baazigar".
On the poor form of Sourav Ganguly, SRK said, "You can't question ace players like Sourav Ganguly. He is aware of his form more than even coach John Buchanan and will sort out things himself.”
On being asked if he would be present at the stadiums in all the Knight Riders matches, SRK said, "I don't know about other cities. But I have worked out my calendar in a way that I don't miss a single match in Kolkata. This city is our hub, it's like being home."
