After three years, Shah Rukh Khan will happily cheer for his Kolkata Knight Riders in Wankhede stadium. Mumbai Cricket Association which had banned SRK from entering the stadium after an ugly spat with security staff and cricket officials in 2012 has revoked its 5 year ban for the actor.
Thanking the MCA body, SRK tweeted, "My gentle father-in-law made me realise how lil it matters who was rite or who was wrong. Wot matters is grace. Thnx MCA for ur graciousness."
Venky Myasore, CEO, KKR also took to twitter and tweeted "Pleased to note MCA has lifted the ban on @iamsrk. @KKRiders will be happy to see him cheering in person next time we play at Wankhede!"
Rajeev Shukla, Congress MP and Indian Premier League (IPL) chair said, "Lifting the ban was a sensible decision. In any case, Shah Rukh won't be attending cricket matches at Wankhede as his team Kolkata Knight Riders plays its matches in Kolkata. We need to function as a healthy cricket-loving nation and not get into confrontational situations."
