Kolkata, May 22 (PTI) In an emotional outburst, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan today said that he would stay away from the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League till he understood the code of conduct expected of him at the matches, a statement which has the potential to throw the tournament into a fresh controversy.
Making an oblique reference to his being debarred from the players’ dugout at the Eden Gardens by the ICC Anti Corruption officials, Shah Rukh said in a sms to his Kolkata Knight Rider players that he was still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of him at the matches.

“I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL…. ICC… Etc…. After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not. Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel, in the meeting etc., but wont come for the matches,” he said.

Denying suggestions in a section of the media that his absence from the field had something to do with the team’s poor performance, he said “please dont ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team…. I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids…. Only, I wont be coming to the class room till the headmasters rules are understood by me…. I am a bit anti-Establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.” Shah Rukh, who owns the Kolkata Knight Riders team, also denied any rift involving him, captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Buchanan saying such things are normal when the scale is not tilted in one’s favour.
