Cricket is a game, it is not business: Shah Rukh, Ganguly
Friday, 16 May 2008 00:10

Is the Indian Premier League changing cricket from a sport to a business venture? No, says Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan. His captain Sourav Ganguly agrees.
Rajdeep Sardesai (to Sourav Ganguly): Some believe IPL has brought in corporatisation of cricket, others say it's brought out the darker side of the game. We've seen when the CEO of Bangalore Royal Challengers was sacked, there were questions about the captain Rahul Dravid as well with Vijay Mallya making certain comments.

20-20
On a dark Wednesday night, the Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai dazzled with fireworks from Sanath Jayasuriya, who was on a rampage and steered Mumbai Indians to a nine-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings.
When Jayasuriya, who had not really play a big innings in the tournament so far, came out to open with Sachin Tendulkar, spectators expected some magical show but they did not anticipate that it would be something incredible.
