Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan To Invest In A Cricket Stadium Near Los Angeles

Mumbai, May 2 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, actress Juhi Chawla and businessman Jay Mehta's the Knight Riders Group (KRG), after owning two T20 teams, are now investing in a cricket stadium near Los Angeles. ## The capacity of the stadium is said to be 10000 and it is located at a 15-acre land parcel in Great Park, Irvine, Southern California, some 40 miles from downtown Los Angeles. The plan to build a cricket stadium in the area is driven by Major League Cricket (MLC) which has revealed that an exclusive negotiating agreement with the city of Irvine to move forward with lease negotiations and design approvals has been approved. ## According to Variety, the investment in the stadium is likely to be in the range of $30 million and it will be designed by architects HKS. The stadium will be home to MLC's Southern California-based franchise, in the heart of one of the largest cricket-loving populations in the U.S., including an estimated 100,000 cricket fans with a further 200,000 more located in Los Angeles County. ## The capacity of the stadium will be expanded further and it will also include state-of-the-art training facilities, locker rooms, luxury suites, dedicated parking, concessions, field lighting, and an international-grade pitch to meet International Cricket Council (ICC) accreditation. ## If the proposed stadium is completed in time, it could host some of the matches of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2024, which is scheduled to be played in the US and West Indies. ## "Our investment in MLC in America is based on our belief in the exciting future of cricket in the U.S.A and is well aligned to our strategy of establishing Knight Riders as a global brand in T20 cricket", said Shah Rukh Khan, per Variety. "Plans to build a world-class cricket stadium in the greater Los Angeles area are exciting for us and MLC. This will no doubt have a transformational impact for cricket in one of the world’s most iconic metropolitan destinations", he added. ## Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in YRF's spy action thriller "Pathaan" which is scheduled to release on January 25th, 2023. He also has Rajkumar Hirani's social comedy "Dunki", due for Christmas 2023, and director Atlee's yet-untitled movie. ## Stay tuned...

Ravindra Jadeja Dedicates Chennai Super Kings's Victory Over Kolkata Knight Riders To Fans

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has expressed gratitude to the fans at homes for their support during the ongoing Indian Premier League edition in the UAE in which the three-time champions failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in their IPL history. ## The MS Dhoni-led, CSK that is already out of contention of making a top-four finish, came out with improved performance compared to their earlier games as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in a thrilling manner on Thursday. CSK chased down the 173-run target on the last ball of the match, with Jadeja smashing back-to-back sixes as they defeated KKR by 6 wickets and dented their chances of making it to the playoffs. ## "This one was for the fans. Thank you for the fantastic support", tweeted Jadeja after playing an incredible knock of unbeaten 31 from just 11 deliveries. Apart from him, the young Ruturaj Gaikwad came out with yet another match-winning performance as he scored 73 runs to anchor the chase.## This one was for the fans. Thank you for the fantastic support. 💛💪#whistlepodu @chennaiipl pic.twitter.com/mMJTgrwnfs— Ravindrasinh jadeja (@imjadeja) October 29, 2020 ## "I was hitting the ball well in the nets and kept thinking about that and I managed to do that in the match. We (me and Curran) were talking about going after the bowlers, and in the last 12 balls, you don't think much. Just see the ball and hit the ball", Jadeja had said in the post-match presentation ceremony. ## "I was looking to not lose my shape, and I knew if they bowled in my arc, I could hit a six. Winning every game always means a lot to us", he added. ## CSK's win over KKR made sure that the table topper, Mumbai Indians qualify for the playoffs and becomes the first team to do so. CSK, having 10 points from 13 games, will play their final match of the tournament against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday.## Stay tuned...

IPL 2020: Dinesh Karthik Hands Over Kolkata Knight Riders' Captaincy To Eoin Morgan

Dinesh Karthik has decided to give up his Kolkata Knight Riders' captaincy in order to focus more on his batting for the rest of the IPL 2020. Eoin Morgan, England's World Cup-winning captain, will take over franchise leadership duties from Dinesh Karthik to take the team forward. ## The CEO of KKR, Venky Mysore said, "we are fortunate to have leaders such as DK, who has always put the team first. It takes a lot of courage for someone like him to take a decision such as this. While we were surprised by his decision, we are respectful of his wishes".## We are also fortunate that Eoin Morgan, the 2019 World Cup-winning captain, who has been the vice-captain, is willing to lead the side going forward. DK and Eoin have worked brilliantly together during this tournament and although Eoin takes over as captain, this is effectively a role swap and we expect that this transition will work in a seamless manner", he added.## Under Dinesh Karthik's leadership, KKR have won four out of their seven matches so far this year and are placed fourth on the points table with 8 points.## For Eoin Morgan, his first real challenge is up against the defending champions, Mumbai Indians today (October 16) at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.## Stay tuned...

IPL 2020: Virat Kohli Hails 'Super-Human' AB de Villiers For His Masterful Knock On A Tough Pitch

AB de Villiers proved his undeniable brilliance yet again and played a memorable knock on a tough pitch for the batsmen. At Sharjah's pitch which has been a batting paradise so far, was on a slower side for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders' match on Monday (October 12). ## While all the other batsmen were struggling to find runs, AB de Villiers came and single-handedly stole the show for his sensational knock of unbeaten 73 off 33 balls with 5 fours and 6 sixes. His knock helped RCB to register a massive win 82-runs in the IPL 2020. ## RCB's skipper Virat Kohli heaped praise on ABD with whom, he added 100 runs off just 46 balls. He said that the team was looking to get around 165-170 runs but because of the ABD's masterful innings, they could reach on such a big target of 194 in 20 overs. ## "At the toss, the pitch didn't have the usual Sharjah sheen. Knew the wicket was going to get slower and slower. Barring one super-human, everyone struggled on that pitch. The talk was around 165-170. The preparation was really good. The three-week camp helped us. Have clarity of plans. Know exactly what we want to do on the field. It all depends on the mindset. It's very positive", Virat said in the post-match presentation with Murali Kartik. ## "On a pitch like that, only AB can do that. It was a special knock. We got 195 purely because of the genius of that man. Always things you can reflect on and say you can improve on these things. All about taking this momentum forward. Don't want to be complacent", he added. ## Meanwhile, RCB is moved up in the points table. With 5 wins in 7 matches, the three times finalist is currently sitting at number 3 with 10 points after Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. Now, the team will next face Kings XI Punjab on October 15 in Sharjah. ## Stay tuned...

Sreesanth Feels Eoin Morgan Should Lead Kolkata Knight Riders Ahead Of Dinesh Karthik

Kolkata Knight Riders had almost pulled off a record-breaking chase against Delhi Capitals on Saturday (October 3) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. However, it remained almost as the two times champions KKR fell short of 18 runs in a chase of 228. ## At one stage, KKR looked completely out of the match as they reduced to 6 wickets for just 122 runs. However, Eoin Morgan (44 off 18) and Rahul Tripathi (36 off 16) had some other plans whose late show brought hopes back to KKR camp, and it seemed that the franchise might chase down 229 to create an IPL record. ## However, it didn't happen, a stunning penultimate over from Anrich Nortje followed by a cracker of a final over by Marcus Stoinis changed things and eventually won the game for Delhi Capitals to take the team on top of the points table. ## After the match, India's world cup winning team member, S Sreesanth said that Eoin Morgan, who led England to maiden ODI World Cup win last year, should lead Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, instead of Dinesh Karthik who has failed to impress with both the bat and leadership so far in this year's IPL.## Sreesanth explained that having a World Cup-winning captain as the leader of the team will certainly help the franchise who can lead the team like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli from the front. ## "Genuinely feel @Eoin16 should lead the side,(surly not*dk kolaimandaaaiiiOctopus) World Cup-winning captain should surly lead ipl side. I hope #kkr looks at this issue.nd win ✌🏻they need a leader who will lead from front like Rohit ,Dhoni or Virat..what a player", Sreesanth wrote on Twitter.## Genuinely feel @Eoin16 should lead the side,(surly not*dk kolaimandaaaiii🐙 )World Cup winning captain should surly lead ipl side.I hope #kkr looks at this issue.nd win ✌🏻they need a leader who will lead from front like Rohit ,Dhoni or Virat..what a player #ipl #kkr #cricket— Sreesanth (@sreesanth36) October 3, 2020 ## However, Eoin Morgan justified the decision of the team management to send him to lower down the order as he feels that it is difficult to bat up the order with so many match-winners in the side. "When you look at our batting line-up, we have a number of match-winners, so it's very difficult to go up the order, particularly when you have a world-class all-rounder in Andre Russell. He is an incredible striker, and when he comes up the order, obviously everybody else has to shift down a little bit", said Morgan. ## In the four matches so far, KKR has an equal share of win and lose and currently is in fifth place on the points table with 4 points. The team will next take on Chennai Super Kings in their next game on Wednesday, October 7. ## Stay tuned...

IPL 2020: KKR Signs Ali Khan, Makes Him The First American Player To Join The League

For the first time in the history of the Indian Premier League, an American player is going to participate. The two-times IPL winner Kolkata Knight Riders has signed American pacer Ali Khan who recently featured in the Caribbean Premier League. ## The 29-year-old will replace England's pacer, Harry Gurney, who pulled out of the IPL due to injury and is set to undergo a shoulder injury. ## Your wait for the replacement is now over! 🎉Join us in welcoming the first US National to play in the #Dream11IPL, @IamAlikhan23 😍#KKR #HaiTaiyaar #Dream11IPL https://t.co/cKgNA2k7Rx— KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders) September 13, 2020 ## Ali Khan was part of the Trinbago Knight Riders' squad which remained unbeaten en route to their 4th CPL title win. In the tournament, Khan picked up eight wickets from eight matches with an economy rate of 7.43. As per reports, he was on KKR's watchlist last season also but no deal could be worked out. ## A genuine fast bowler, who clicks 140+ speed, came in limelight during the 2018 Global T20 Canada, where he caught the attention of star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who brought the youngster to the CPL. That year, Khan picked up 16 wickets from 12 matches for Guyana Amazon Warriors, the second-most by a fast bowler in the season.## Two days ago, Bravo, in one of his Instagram stories, posted a video with Khan, Brendon McCullum, and a few more inside a plan with the caption "Next stop Dubai" which hinted about Khan's participation in the IPL this year. ## Khan was selected in a USA squad for the first time for the 2016 Auty Cup and ICC WCL Division Four in Los Angeles. On his CPL debut, Khan dismissed Kumar Sangakkara with his first delivery.## With Khan joining KKR's squad, the team now has a series overseas players line up with the batsmen Eoin Morgan and Tom Banton, allrounder Andre Russell, spinners (and pinch-hitter) Sunil Narine and Chris Green, and pacers Pat Cummins and Lockie Ferguson. ## Stay tuned...
