Buchanan said that the IPL would go on to help Indian cricket and provide a wonderful opportunity to players to rub shoulders with quality players from all around the world.

It would have long term benefits for Indian cricket, he said.

The 6'4" tall Ishant impressed one and all during the Australia tour and fetched a price of US $9,50,000 at the IPL auction. The lanky paceman was auctioned for the second-best price for an Indian, with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni fetcing US $ 1.5 million for his services.

"Lot of efforts have gone into making this team, and now I am very happy to be a party to this wonderful team led by Sourav Ganguly," Shah Rukh said. The team's jersey, which was revealed at the function, is a combination of black and gold, and has been designed by Bollywood designer Manish Malhotra, while their logo is a golden helmet. "Black is the colour of goddess Kali and we aim for gold."
