SRK in the news - Yet Again..!!

Well, I am sure all you die hard SRK fans would agree with me if I say that he is never out of media’s eyes. Even if he doesn’t want to make news, he still attracts the attention solely on his iconic reputation. But this time, he shares the limelight with the likes of Mukesh Ambani, Vijay Mallya and few others. He had recently bid for IPL cricket team and won the Kolkata team bid for $ 76 mn. We would definitely have some high spirited cricket games in India now. Right now, IPL has just come out with 8 teams and they hope to build it to 16 teams by 2010. Following are the IPL team owners and their winning bids:
Team ---------------------- Owner ------------------ Winning Bids
