KKR's first match at the Eden Gardens this year received a lukewarm response, unlike in the past when the stadium was full for all games. One wouldn't know whether it was due to the absence of Ganguly, who went unsold in the player auction, or the post-World Cup hangover, but SRK was keen not to hurt the sentiments of the home fans. "No doubt we will miss Dada (Ganguly). He is always in our mind. Oh, definitely we will miss him," the Bollywood hero told MiD DAY.
The team did not have a new theme song for this year too, but Shah Rukh's reply was tongue in cheek. "This time we don't have money. That's why this time no new theme song for KKR," he said.
