The Clash Of The Badshahs


Well there is a saying that two swords cant fit in one cover.Well unfortunately this saying has come out true in the case of the KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS as there are reports coming in that all is not well between SRK and Dada.The kolkata franchise was a fans delight as it saw two of indias greatest sons ever , the 2 badshahs , the 2 prima donas , the Badshah of Bollywood SRK and the Badshah of Bengal Saurav join forces.Though this seemed like a dream pairing and a sure shot commercial success ,[ i still feel that kolkata has been financially the most succesful IPL franchise if you look at ticket sales and merchandise sale although i may be wrong ], there was also a danger of some clashes.TV channels are filled with reports since yes that saurav was not happy with the team selected , SRK wanted saurav to bowl first against chennai , he wanted saurav to talk with the West Bengal CM regarding waiver of the entertainment tax at eden and so on.I just hope that these small tiffs between SRK and Dada dont blow out of proportion and they sort out their differences soon and become a powerful combination again.Although Kolkata are most probably out of the IPL , they have been the most entertaining team of the IPL .While their cricket hasnt been all that great at times the few times they have got their act together like against bangalore and delhi at edens and also against hyd in hyd , combined with the electrifying atmosphere at eden gardens and also the electrifying presence of srk and dada , the korbo lorbo tune playing in the background they have been blockbuster entertainment .After all IPL is more about entertainment than cricket.How i wish i would have got a chance to watch SRK and Dada at eden gardens.Who wins the IPL is irrelevant as this is inter city cricket not cricket between countries.Had it not been for SRK and dada and the electrifying atmosphere provided by the wonderful people of kolkata , this ipl concept would have fallen flat for the BCCI.I just got a small message for SRK and dada , plz sort out your differences and thanks for the entertainment provided by u and ur team , never mind if u dont go to the semi finals , i would rather have dada playing those brilliant innings like the 80 odd he scored to help india win the 3rd test against south africa rather than score a quickfire 30 or 40 in a tournament like IPL which is useless from the cricket point of view and has entertainment value only.Dada you go and play classy test and one day innings , let blind hitters like jaysuriya and dhoni and all have their few minutes of glory in the IPL.In the end i would say only one thing
Korbo lorbo Jeetbo re Dada and SRK rock.
