Kolkata, Oct 12 (PTI) This Durga Puja, the Goddess will be seen adorned in a sari resembling the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) jersey, a unique idea which the team believes would help them receive her blessings in the next IPL tournament. The SRK Fan Club of Kolkata has come up with a six-foot- tall idol of Durga, attired in a purple and golden-coloured sari inspired by the jersey of the Shahrukh Khan-owned team. One hand of the ten-armed Goddess is seen clutching the team''s flag. KKR is owned by Khan''s Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with actress Juhi Chawla Mehta and her husband Jay Mehta. On all four days of Durga Puja, around 400 members of the fan club would worship the deity, installed at the club''s premises at Rajarhat on the north-eastern outskirts of the city, praying for their team''s success. "The last three IPLs were a disaster for KKR, so we will worship Ma Durga for the super success of our hero Shahrukh Khan and his team KKR," Arnab Roy, secretary of the 13-year-old fan club, told PTI. The fans believe that the idol will bring luck and success to the cricket team and their hero SRK. "But it is also for the entire city and supporters of KKR as we believe that the puja will give them a reason to smile and celebrate the team''s victory in IPL 4," he said. MORE PTI NIK MD KK
