SRK : Not shooting for any film currently, is giving all his time and attention to cricket after he won the bid of the Kolkata Indian Premier League team for nearly Rs 300 crore (Rs 3,000 million).
From a source I came to know that SRK trying his best to buy the India's ODI captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They had starred together in a Videocon ad and since then have developed a close friendship. Apparently, Dhoni was the most sought after player in the IPL, the Board of Control for Cricket in India's multi-million dollar Twenty20 league, which is scheduled to start on April 18.
The players auction took place in Mumbai on February 20, and Dhoni's asking price was reported around $400,000 (about Rs 1.6 crore). It is now clear that Dhoni will not join SRK's team considering the fact that it is being led by former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, who is keen on having Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist in his team.
Ganguly and Dhoni are not in the best of terms after the former was not picked for the ongoing tri-series in Australia. It is alleged that Dhoni was unhappy with Ganguly's fitness and hence, did not want him in the team.
Another player that SRK wants in his team was Shoaib Akhtar. This Pakistani fast bowler joined his team for US $ 425,000.
