MUMBAI:
Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has christened his Kolkata
team as Kolkata Knight Riders for the twenty-20 cricket tournament
Indian Premier League (IPL). The team is co-owned by Juhi
Chawla and led by former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly.
The
team's song 'Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo,' which means "We will
do it, fight it and win it," has been chosen in order
to appeal to the youth of the country.
SRK
also unveiled the team's logo and the mascot - a spiky haired
royal Bengal tiger 'Hong Lee.'
The
team's jersey is black and gold. "We are here to win
the battle of life. You never win the Silver. You only lose
the Gold. I have followed this maxim in my life and I have
been fortunate in that it has served me well. I would like
tthis maxim to be passed on to the team," says Khan.
The
colour combination of the team’s jersey has been designed
by Manish Malhotra. Black is the colour of goddess Kali and
the team is aiming for gold, explains the actor. The kit for
all the players will be sponsored by Reebok.
Ganguly's
team includes Shoaib Akhtar, Ricky Ponting, Chris Gayle, David Hussey, Brendon
Mccullum, Umar Gul, Tatenda Taibu, Ajit Agarkar, Ishant Sharma, Murali Kartik,
Akash Chopra, Lakshmi Ratan Shukla, R Saha, Sourashish Lahiri and Rohan Bannerjee. |
