Together with friends Juhi Chawla and Jai Mehta, actor Shah Rukh Khan is now getting ready to put together his Kolkata team (IPL).
After having bought the team for 75.09 million dollars, Khan is believed to have messaged Sourav Ganguly, who is currently in Australia, informing him that he was going to be his captain.
"Plans are being put together as we speak at Red Chillies. SRK is very excited about the team and has lots of plans and ideas. Sourav and he are close friends and have always been in touch so when he got the team it was kind of understood that Ganguly would be captain. But Sourav messaged SRK back saying that they would discuss things only once he got back from Australia," says our source, "Sourav is quite excited to be a part of the BCCI backed IPL but when the announcement was made all his attention was on the upcoming Test match and SRK understood that."
India's ex-captain has not been picked as a part of the one day team in Australia and is expected back in India in a couple of days and it seems a meeting of SRK and Sourav is at the top of the agenda.
"In the next two to three days all plans will be disclosed. SRK has plenty of ideas for his team but he will make them public only after discussing it with the captain of his team. From training to endorsements to other players in the team - all of that will be a part of the meeting which is likely to take place before the end of the week as soon as Ganguly gets in," says the source.
The source adds that Khan's Red Chillies won't be stopping at just the IPL and entry into other sports like hockey and football as well is also being discussed right now.
