ImageKolkata, April 21: Shah Rukh Khan the badshah of Bollywood seems to be very excited for his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. The star-studded team has already won two matches it has played so far and Shah Rukh believes that his team has potential to beat all the teams put together.

Shah Rukh Khan who acquired Indian Premier League’s Kolkata team to the amazement of all and sundry seems to be very deeply involved with the functioning of his team. He must be under a lot of pressure as the best bowler of his team Pakistan’s Shoib Akhtar has been barred from playing IPL matches due to his differences with his board.

He says that he is here for winning and not for losing the series. He is also putting all his star power to create interest for audience. His performance at the beginning of Sunday’s match in Kolkata seems to have won him many more fans.

Shah Rukh himself said, “I love winning - whether it's IPL matches or films or a game of carom with my kids or the entire world. I believe my victory is God's assurance that I really worked hard”.

He went on to say that “we are the toughest competition for the other seven teams. Why one team at a time-put all the seven teams on one side and see how the Knight Riders battle it out against them”.

The badshah of Bollywood also added that "Kolkata Knight Riders is my dream personified. I always wanted to be a cricketer. Now it's through my team that I am fulfilling my dream. I am possessive about my team. When my boys are playing I am worried throughout about their comfort. It's like seeing Aryan (son) take part in a race and praying that he wins unhurt”.
