Chris Gayle might have chosen his former team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for his brutal onslaught, at the Eden Gardens, but KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan lavished praise on the Jamaican opener on Friday.
"Gayle has played really well. His was an exceptional innings," he said, on the sidelines of a promotional after the match. "But, I don't consider that he took revenge on us or anything. He is a great player and I wish him the best," he added.
The mega-star is overwhelmed by the way the home crowd is supporting his team. A nearly-packed stadium cheered for the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden on Friday.
"The way the crowd is cheering for us is simply mind-blowing. The fact that the team is getting home support is really heart-warming," he said
KKR have suddenly hit a slump after a hattrick of victories. But Shah Rukh is optimistic about his team making the last four.
"It's little disappointing losing two matches on the trot, but I don't think that will stop us from reaching the semi-finals.
"However, losing points in home matches mean we'll have to do really good in the away matches and the competition will get tougher from here on," he said.
