New Delhi, January 24: : Having just bagged the bid for the Kolkata team, actor Shah Rukh Khan said he would like to see former India captain Sourav Ganguly leading the outfit in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Shah Rukh, along with fellow actor Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, won the bid for the Kolkata team for a whopping USD 75.09 million and said he would seek suggestions of experts before putting together a winning combination.

I have already decided on the entertainment part but we have not decided on the core and content of the team. We want to put together a winning combination, for which I would definitely seek advice of the experts. I dont have anyone in mind right now but we would seek expert view on that, he told a TV channel.

And the Prince of Kolkata would be the obvious choice for leading the side, he said.

I hope Ganguly leads my team, he said.

Dwelling on the venture, the actor said, Its not about money. The idea is to nurture youngsters and give them more platform for playing cricket. I have a huge passion for game and I want to be part of every sport. I guess I would have to make more films to ensure we can run the team.

Preity Zinta too sounded excited about owning the Mohali team which costs her and her boyfriend Ness Wadia USD 76 million.

All I want to say is that it was fantastic and a great opportunity. And Im happy that we won the bid, she said.

Wadia too shared her excitement and said, We are happy to have a role to promote cricket. Please do come to see the team play.

Liquor baron Vijay Mallya said though he lost the Mumbai team to Mukesh Ambani but was happy to win the bid for the Bangalore team, which costs him a staggering USD 111.6 million.

I was under-bidder for Mumbai but Im happy I won the Bangalore team, he said.
