The World Cup has arrived on KBC.

As the World Cup fever grips cricket fans all over the world, KBC and Shah Rukh Khan aren't far behind either. Being a sports fan himself, SRK brought cricket to his KBC sets.

"I do like sports. And I'm looking forward to the World Cup... we've got cricket bats signed by the entire team sent especially for the contestants on KBC. And I've got my t-shirt on to show my support for the team," says Khan as he gears himself up for the World Cup.

Needless to say he supports India but who is his favourite cricketer?

"I like the Indian team and there's no bias in saying that. I think Sachin is great and I know him personally. Saurav is wonderful and so is Rahul as a batsman. Sehwag can do great on a day. Yuvraj is upcoming and has a lot of fighting spirit. I actually like all the cricketers. I like the sport and I appreciate anyone who plays well on a day and it could range from Adam Gilchrist to Ricky Ponting to Brian Lara to whoever is doing well!"

Khan says he plans to catch as many matches as he can. "I think with the time difference the main attraction starts post 10 PM and if I'm not shooting at nights and even if I am with CAS and set top boxes it takes about 5 minutes to set it up wherever you are shooting. So that's a great thing. I think post 10 PM is when the matches will get interesting and I will be home by that time for most of them so I will catch them at home. And if I am out shooting somewhere then we'll get a dish fixed somewhere so we can catch it there!"
