Buchanan said that the IPL would go on to help Indian cricket and provide a wonderful opportunity to players to rub shoulders with quality players from all around the world.
It would have long term benefits for Indian cricket, he said.
The 6'4" tall Ishant impressed one and all during the Australia tour and fetched a price of US $9,50,000 at the IPL auction. The lanky paceman was auctioned for the second-best price for an Indian, with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni fetcing US $ 1.5 million for his services.
"Lot of efforts have gone into making this team, and now I am very happy to be a party to this wonderful team led by Sourav Ganguly," Shah Rukh said. The team's jersey, which was revealed at the function, is a combination of black and gold, and has been designed by Bollywood designer Manish Malhotra, while their logo is a golden helmet. "Black is the colour of goddess Kali and we aim for gold."

Dear Fans of Knight
Dear Fans of Knight Riders!!
I know that you all are disappointed.But let me tell you that this team will live upto our expectations. From the beginning itself its facing controvercies(like shifting captaincy from DADA etc.etc.).Though I believe that in T-20, a captain has a very little part to play.But still I would request the Team management to bring back "Dada" as a captain & you will see the difference. Believe me he knows the job best.He knows how to take the best from each player.But here I would take the opportunity to articulate some of my views,like,I think Buchanan might have thought that Saurav may fail in this season thatswhy he had taken a preventive measure & came out with a multiple-captain formula,which in other way means if "Dada" fails,he will have an option to change the captain as well as a player.But as we saw "Dada" is still there with his "Spark",now it depends on Buchana whether he understands the cricis & brings back "Dada".I believe in constructive criticism & this is the only reason I am not criticising a few decessions of McCulum,thats had changed the result of the match & I also hope my massage will reach to Mr. Buchanan & he will take the necessary steps & make us(fans of KKR)happy.
Best of luck KKR

My dear Author and the most
My dear Author and the most well wisher of 'team of sinking riders'. From this blog, i come to know that still you have a little hope that this stupid and most idiot coach will do some thing i,e, changing the captain ship or changing the batting order according to opening strategies etc. But my dear friend...i glad to inform you that our 'bloody respected' coach is become dumb already.....!! He is able to listen only from one person who currently busy in Bollywood...so kindly leave your hope and live in the real world and enjoy the other matches........Cheers buddy..........!!!!!

Dear
Hello let me introduce myself to you my name is Terence Benjamin Marsh
Aged 50 a single father of 3 and poppy to 2 and a game inventor
The reason I am writing to you concerns the coolest game presently NOT on the world market, it is the CRICKET CARD GAME that I have invented and wish to have the opportunity to show you- the game and how it plays, and its UNIQUE points some being
. Generation Friendly old and young can play on equal ground and no special skills needed
. There are no Questions to answer (just scoring runs and getting wickets)
. Limited Over’s = approx. 45 min to 1 hour
. Tests = approx. 2-3+ hours
. One or two a side
. No electricity and very portable
. Final costs should make it a very affordable game in all countries
And many more unique points I would like to show you, this game would also be a hit in India (population 1 billion people) where grandparents can play there grandchildren and be on equal playing level, unlike playstation / x-box where children are far better skilled
Pakistan, West Indies, South Africa, Bangladesh, England, New Zealand and Australia are all cricket mad countries and I believe would get behind a game that was like cricket instead of questions and answers or stats vs. stats
And young people will love the contest and the challenge of being the best and defeating their friends at school, home, café bars, sports clubs anywhere – anytime
. Aged care homes for the boys to play instead of knitting etc, etc
Where am I?
I have tried to keep to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) process and believe that I have done that and can be picked up easily by everyone who will play the game
I have just finished a small business management course through Swineburn University
It has been patent searched by Thomas Frost, P. A. registered patent attorney, Florida USA and given the all clear to proceed and trialed with great success
I have received rough quotes on the cost price of a unit at aus$2.80 a unit to be made in India for a two deck plus playing board and packaging
I am in the process of developing the artwork depending on the team colors for back of cards
I am hoping that I can have an interview with yourself ,show you the game, how it plays and its potential worldwide and its potential to go to an on-line game as after you have played the game and I am 100% positive you will enjoy the game and see the potential of it and am hoping your organization might get on board and join me, then we could work out % share or partnership, all are on the table for discussion.
A percentage of something is far better than 100% of nothing; you will find me to be more than fair. This is a great game to play but no-one with a name or some power / dollars or courage seems to believe a nobody can make a good/great cricket game but this is it and would love the opportunity to present it to you, It will only take half an hour for you to learn to play and to see its potential, you will not be disappointed and you to will become a Cricket Card Game fan yourself
This is a world wide game just waiting to be discovered, hopefully by you
I firmly believe it will be picked up by one by somebody, as I believe in this game and will not be giving up until I can make it happen.
Make it you, it will cost nothing to investigate the opportunity execpt your time and vision Hoping to hear from you soon
Thank you for taking time to read this letter
