Mahua Chatterjee says the Kolkata Knight Riders owner should know that losing is part of the game
Mahua Chatterjee says the Kolkata Knight Riders owner should know that losing is part of the gameIt is shameful that Shah Rukh Khan prefers not to talk to the media when his KolkataKnight Riders team does not win a match. Playing any sport is not only about winning. The game itself is more important.
Khan should know that life is not a Chak De! India film. Owning a team isn't about sending SMSes and having your photograph on huge billboards throughout the country. Sportsmen like Saurav Ganguly, Chris Gayle and Brendon Mccullum are very talented players in their own right and have to be given the respect that they deserve.
HeroesThey are the heroes of the team just like Khan is the hero of his films. The players have to be encouraged. You must have faith and conviction in them. Why is he being a fair-weathered owner?
He gave a news byte to Mandira Bedi only once when his team won the match against KingsXI Punjab by the Duckworth-Lewis method. Is he too ashamed to talk to the media when his team loses?
Could he not have spoken about his team's glowing performance when they lost to Rajasthan Royals by a whisker in the Super Over?
He should learn from Shane Warne, who motivates his team all the time.
Stick to actingKhan's behaviour shows his lack of confidence in his own team. This will only demoralise them further. Maybe, he should just stick to acting in his movies and dancing at others' weddings.
