Shahrukh Khan to captain Tamil Nadu in Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament, calling it an honor and privilege.
Tamil Nadu’s Shahrukh Khan has been handed the captain’s armband for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament.
The 29-year-old, a successful skipper for Lyca Kovai Kings in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, says it is an honour to lead the State side.
“It’s my first time as a captain for Tamil Nadu. I have led in TNPL for several years and now (I am leading) Tamil Nadu, it is a new thing for me. Obviously, captaining a State team is a privilege,” Shahrukh told The Hindu minutes after TN’s innings win over Railways in a Ranji Trophy match at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Saturday.
Shahrukh added that he was taking the challenge one step at a time as the domestic red-ball season makes way for white-ball fixtures till late January.
“I haven’t thought about anything because the tournament starts in a week’s time (November 23).
“So, I’ll start thinking soon about what to do. I don’t give anything too much thought. I just think at the right place and at the right time... that is more important,” Shahrukh added.
