Armed with jazzy uniforms and jazzier cheerleaders instead of a sword and lance (not to be confused with Lance Klusener) the Kolkata based team soon made a favorable impression on the IPL scene. However, there was soon a rift in the lute as the team management decided to rope in David Hasselhoff as brand ambassador since their market surveys showed a favorable recall of Hasselhoff in the TV series Knight Rider apart from his stellar role in Baywatch. Kolkata captain, Sourav Ganguly however took exception to this move considering Hasselhoff a threat to the bare chested antics he was planning to unleash on the unsuspecting crowd. Unable to handle two bare chested men at the same time, the team desperately looked towards banned Pakistani player Shoaib Akhtar for providing the much needed team spirit and unity. With the aid of a cricket bat, if necessary. This unfortunately did not provide any succor to the team and the team owner, Shah Rukh Khan was forced to employ them as extras in his movie tentatively titled "Kehna Kya Kricket Ka" with Karan Johar as the director (obviously!). Affectionately shortened to 4K, we hope this movie will teach Shah Rukh the 4Ks of movies since he evidently hasn't learned the 4Ps of marketing.
