Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who owns the Kolkata team of the Indian Premier League (IPL), on Wednesday said he opted for cricket because it is commercially viable for him and not because he favoured the popular sport over other disciplines. Now all this is very controversial, first of all SRK after providing a movie like chak de has decided to dip his fingers into the big cricket pie. Why doesnt he start IHPL(Indian hockey premier league) he would need only 10% of the money he shelled out to start the entire league. And now after proving that its all about money, he comes out and says something like this. Why if I may ask should Cricket uplift other sports, do people like watching hockey, do we have good hockey players, do we have good badminton players, we do have good tennis players and they have a market of their own. How many of you remember watching last hockey match of India when was it and where was it?
