SRK dumps 5 Players from Kolkata Knight Riders Team

Now, it has become Cricket vs Corporate! After Mallya's outburst against Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Rahul Dravid, Kolkata Knight Riders franchise owner Shahrukh Khan has dumped 5 players - Ranadeb Bose, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sourasish Lahiri, Yashpal Singh and Hokkaido from the team. These five players have not yet gotten a chance to feature in the 14-member squad.

According to sources, these five players have been asked to leave the hotel where Knight Riders team was staying. The players felt betrayed and humiliated at this sudden development. It is believed that Shahrukh has taken this decision in order to cut costs after not-so-good performance of his team in the ongoing IPL.
