IPL : SRK CHRISTENS KOLKATTA


Bollywood super star Sharukh Khan along with the prince of Kolkatta christened the Kolkatta team for the IPL on Tuesday. The Kolkatta IPL team will be hereby known as the ‘KOLKATTA KNIGHT RIDERS’ – a worthy name considering the knightly players in their rankings.

The Kolkatta Knight Riders, with powerful hitters like Brendon Mccullum, Chris Gayle, Ponting and the Prince himself, pose a serious challenge to all other IPL teams and is a serious contender for the cup. The team’s theme song reflects the mood in the camp. "Korbo, Lorbo, Jitbo" (We will do it, fight it and win it) is what they chant.

The colour of their jerseys says it all. The black and Gold jersey that was unveiled reflects the Goddess Kali (black), also a symbol of Kolkatta and the Gold is what they are aiming for. King Khan is currently on cloud nine and it would be upto the Knight riders to ensure that he is not given a rude wake up call.
