The King has always been associated with success. Everything he touched turned gold, be it Chak De India or Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi or KBC 3. Success is the middle name of The king.
When The King had purchased KKR, everybody was scrambling to be associated with KKR just because The King was associated with it. Therefore KKR became the most sponsored team and in turn became the only profitable team in the inaugural IPL beating away more high profile teams owned by Ambani or Mallya.
But all these things refused to translate into on field performances from the KKR. The last nail being the loss to the minnows - Bangalore. It was the last thing that The King wanted and there was nothing that he could possibly do about it.
So now The King is in talks with Nokia, ADAG, Sahara and some other companies for selling off KKR. According to sources, The King is getting around double the price he paid for purchasing KKR. He has recovered every penny he invested into KKR and is getting monumental profits even by selling off a mediocre team. This is why The King is labelled an articulate businessman. Since his real estate ventures in Dubai are bringing him huge profits, his company Redchillies also doing good, he can safely wash his hands off KKR.
The only identity that KKR had was that The King was its owner and now it would be interesting to see who could stop KKR from free falling once The King's name is disassociated from it.
As far as I am concerned the day The King sells off KKR, I will support the Deccan Chargers as I am from Hyderabad and was supporting the KKR just because of The King.
