It does not seem likely that Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders will go the way of Preity Zinta's Kings XI Punjab who are supposedly willing to lighten themselves through a few sell outs, but SRK seems to have given up.

He asked the entire country to turn into coaches to help KKR win IPL 3. However, with KKR still having two matches to go but under fire for poor performances by none other than their captain, Sourav Ganguly, seems to have pushed the Bollywood actor into submission and dejection.
Read some of his Twitter posts:
" Just disappointed. Can’t do any more for KKR. Sorry can’t sound fakely uppity about next season & thanks for support tweets.
" I am not sad. Just feel awful for Kolkata & all of this, most wonderful city & my sponsors. No promises anymore. Bye all.
" Bye all. I am off now to deal with disappointments in the way I know best. You find your poison. Love you all. Unconditional apologies to all."
The tweets followed KKR's loss to the Chennai Super Kings.
Looks like he has heard enough of the fat lady even before she sings.
