Bhand Khan is showing his true colours.... no dobbt he has a good business sense... and he is playing his cards very carefully.. its very easy to for one muslim to fool another muslim...case in Point... Hasim Amla of SA...a muslim of INDIAN Origin...is claimed by muslims world over ...as their own..:haha:..( mainly pakistanis :cantstop: ). By signing so many pakistani players...he is securing a support of 100Million muslims of pakistan..and alos viewership..BD will always support calcutta because of their relations...Bengalis are the most one eyed supporters of cricket...they will support Jaish-e-Mohammad if they start playing from Bengal... so basically...he is milking money..and laughing his way to the bank....but overdoing of all this might distance other indians from KKR...i have always hated KKR for different reasons..but now my hatred has increased many folds..

Yasir has massive experience in T20 with 42 matches under his belt - I think it is a good buy.

Many moons ago, after release of Chak De, we termed Shahrukh as traitor for playing Indian Muslim "victim" card in his movie, as if his attempt in "Main Hoon Na" was not enough Shahrukh lovers hauled us for that.:giggle:
