Durban: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shah Rukh Khan says he has been receiving hate mails since the multiple-captaincy controversy brewed up a storm.
"I am getting strange hate mails from people for taking decision for the team's sake. But it is okay, I'm saving them all so that I can go to each house and say 'Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo (We will win)," said Khan after KKR beat Kings XI Punjab by 11 runs in an Indian Premier League match.
KKR coach John Buchanan's multiple-captaincy theory has raised a debate, specially in former captain Sourav Ganguly's city Kolkata. Ganguly's removal from the captaincy has left his fan indignant.
Khan asked Ganguly's fans to send positive responses. "Along the way if we go wrong, please feel for us and send us positive energies," said the film star.
Khan also admitted the team is under a lot of pressure after the multiple-captaincy theory.
"I know the team is under a lot of pressure after the multiple captains, the choice of captain and all that. At the moment the team is under a bit of a disarray, but we will stick together. We have started doing it," said Khan.
"My team is under more pressure because it is owned by a film star and then you have such fan following, the backing of a city that supports you one night and gets angry the next night."
