IPL8: Shah Rukh to miss KKR vs MI match at Wankhede due to ban

For the third year running, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan will not be allowed to witness the key IPL cricket contest between his side Kolkata Knight Riders, and home team Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 14. An official of the Mumbai Cricket Association said today that the actor would not be allowed as the ban continues. The Association had banned him for five years from entering their premises, including the Wankhede Stadium, after the actor was involved in an ugly skirmish with security staff and officials of MCA following KKR's victory over Mumbai Indians on May 16, 2012 at the stadium. Last year, MCA was willing to lift the ban on the actor temporarily in order to host the June 2 final before it was taken away and allotted to Bengaluru by the Cricket Board. On May 16 this year, however, Shah Rukh will be able to witness defending champions KKR, of which he is the co-owner, taking on Rajasthan Royals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai which is owned by another BCCI affiliate – Cricket Club of India.
