He loves cricket and we enjoy the company - Sanath Jayasuriya on meeting KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan

By Anuj Nitin Prabhu Modified 17 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Sanath Jayasuriya told Sportskeeda that he is a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan (P.C.:Twitter) Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya was one of the first real superstars in the IPL, having played for the Mumbai Indians (MI) from 2008-2010. The swashbuckling left-hander was one of the shining lights even when MI used to underperform as a team in their initial years. Bollywood has had a great association with the IPL as a number of stars have bought stakes in some of the franchises. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is the co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and is quite passionate about the game. In a recent exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, Sanath Jayasuriya spoke about his experience of meeting Shah Rukh Khan. He said: "(On meeting Shah Rukh Khan) Nothing in particular, but I am a fan of his and he loves cricket and we enjoy the company."

Sanath Jayasuriya played 30 games for MI, scoring 772 runs at a fantastic strike rate of 145.11. He also has four half-centuries to his name and a blistering hundred against the Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural season that saw them win that game in a canter. ??????@Shebas_10dulkarS Jayasuriya for MI

However, the former all-rounder spoke about how the team management backed him to play his natural game and go for his shots. He said that it helped him bring out his best for the franchise: "They (MI) kept things simple and always asked me to play my natural game because that really helped me get a big score. "Mumbai is my second home. Those three years, we played in and out and the team and the team owners are very good. They really look after all their players and it's like a family. It's really nice." Given the quality all-rounder that Jayasuriya was, he would have been a top contender to become the costliest player sold in an IPL auction had he played in the current era.
