You’ve seen them dancing together on screen but now they’re competing on the cricket pitch. Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta have decided to throw their weight behind the IPL with their respective teams. In Wednesday’s auction for players, SRK bagged Shoaib Akhthar for $425,000 (Rs 1.7 crore), Ricky Ponting for $400,000 (Rs 1.6 crore) and Chris Gayle for $800,000 (Rs 3.2 crore). Preity claimed Mahela Jayawardene for $475,000 (Rs 1.9 crore), S Sreesanth for $ 625,000 (Rs 2.5 crore) and Brett Lee for $900,000 (Rs 3.6 crore) While money talks, with Bollywood backing, it seems to be bursting into a song and dance.King Khan is good news for the business as he already has his finger in many pies. Apart from being a producer, he’s a star endorser and a television host too. The Chak De! hero is also no stranger to motivating teams.
