In a glittering ceremony, Shahrukh Khan unveiled his IPL Kolkata team, the Knight Riders among the media.

'Korbo, Lorbo, Jitbo' will be the war cry of Shah Rukh Khan-owned Knight Riders, one of the eight teams participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Shahrukh Khan told reporters that "The idea and ideology behind naming the team Kolkata Knight Riders is because I want to appeal to the youth of the country."

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly will captain the team, while former Australian coach John Buchanan will be its coach.

Khan also unveiled the logo and mascot royal bengal tiger 'Hoog Lee' of the team and played the anthem prepared for the squad.

The Knigh Riders' costume is designed by famous fashion designer Manish Malhotra. It will be a mixture of black and golden, the black symbolising goddesss 'Maa Kaali' and the gold, the mark of victory, Khan said.

The theme song of the team has been composed by Vishal-Shekhan. Shahrukh also revealed that a 'Knight Rider' album was on the anvil with several singers and music composers including Usha Uthup and Bappi Lahiri being involved.
