Chris Lynn über IPL sowie SRK
"The IPL can be ruthless, full of team owners who only care about winning. Players go out there with nervous energy, thinking about what the owner’s going to say to them after the game if they lose, or if they’re going to get sacked the next week.
Given how cutthroat the league is, I’ve been fortunate to have a very different experience. Kolkata Knight Riders have been pretty much a family for me the last five years. They’re one of the best franchises I’ve ever worked with and it starts with the owner, Shah Rukh Khan. Though he’s been called ‘The King of Bollywood’ during a long career in entertainment, Shah Rukh Khan came from a humble beginning. He just wants us to go out and have fun. He’ll come in the change room and give us a big hug whether we win or lose. Life goes on and we have another crack next game. He’s built a very family-orientated franchise. It’s awesome to have an owner like him, who wants you to be happy and looked after off the field. It’s special within the IPL environment."
