Actually agreed. The only Khan that people know in "non-desi" community countries is actually largely SRK. Speaking from experience of my own country, people associate Hindi movies with Shah Rukh Khan here. I have friends from non-Asian descent, who hardly understand a little bit of Hindi, but they know SRK's movies and songs. That's hardly the little they know about Bollywood actually.
Aamir and Salman may be bigger names in India, but Shah Rukh is far more popular overseas. I don't know how that turned out, but it has. And what's even more surprising, his popularity has transcended generations. Despite relatively few hit movies in the last couple of years, the younger generation still knows about his older movies. I've never heard of people (except people from Indian, Pakistan etc origin) talk about any other Khan, Akshay, Ajay or even Mr. Amitabh Bachan for that matter, in the same way.
Coming to the topic in question, I've always felt Cricket is life in India. Salman may be a star, but Dhoni is idolized. Plus, BW keeps divisions mostly amongst stars. When it comes to cricket, even amidst controversies, you're for India. People revere cricket. Heck Indians out here gather and throw parties when huge matches are coming up.
