Kolkata:
Shah Rukh Khan said that he will take off his shirt, a'la Sourav Ganguly, to show his six-pack abs if his Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team reaches the Indian Premier League (IPL) final this year.
"If we reach the final at Chennai, I will take off my shirt, fluff it in the air, and show off my six pack abs... or may be eight pack abs," Shah Rukh Khan said at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, after KKR won their third match on the trot with an eight-wicket decimation of Rajasthan Royals.
The final is slated to be played at the Chepauk Ground in Chennai.
In 2002, after winning the Natwest Trophy final against England, then Indian skipper Ganguly had celebrated the win by taking off his shirt and waving it in the air from the balcony of Lords.
Ganguly was criticized, but he retorted by saying that he was only returning the same act performed by English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff during a series in India.
Ganguly, who has featured in the KKR side in all the past three editions of IPL, was not considered for the team this year.
After the Kolkata Knight Riders registered a dominant win against the Rajasthan Royals, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan tried his luck with the bat and squared off against Shane Warne.
