Can a franchise owner be so much nettled with a city that he would like to change his team’s name? It seems so in case of Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan. According to news published recently in Business Standard, Shahrukh Khan may do in the term ‘Kolkata’ from his team’s name ‘Kolkata Knight Riders’. Furthermore, the franchise may shift to Ahamdabad from Kolkata.
According to the reports, SRK has already removed ‘Kolkata’ from ‘Kolkata Merchandise’. Sources from KKR’s merchandise partner Reebok say that Kolkata’s name will be wiped off from every product, that’s why T-shirts, socks, accessories and other stuff don’t have ‘Kolkata’ anymore.
