“Don’t hit someone when he is down. I have seen too many losses and victories in my career including films flopping, running successfully”, Shahrukh Khan, the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders had to say. KKR ’s match against Delhi Daredevil was unfortunately washed out and it washes away the little hope that Sourav Ganguly ’s team had of making it to the semi finals of the IPL.

“Right now, all of us have become part of a failed script, a bad IPL script. Let’s try and keep our chin up….. I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats. I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team because of losses.” Shahrukh had to say in an SMS. The Kolkata Knight Riders had a decent run and fought hard in the IPL, and always had a chance to make it to the semi finals.

Now Chennai SuperKings, Mumbai Indians and Delhi DareDevils will fight it out for the 2 spots left for the semifinals after Rajastan Royals and Punjab already sealed their places. Punjab Kings XI ’s place was confirmed after todays washout. The match between Mumbai and Delhi is going to be a major decider now.

Kolkata Knight Riders have been successful in gearing interest and the Kolkatans backed their team all through. The franchise must be happy with the kind of interest generated by the team and we hope next season, they come back and win more games.
