Dejected by Kolkata Knight Riders' continuing poor run in the Indian Premier League, team owner and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan took the blame for the debacle and said he feels awful for the side and its fans.

KKR were all but thrown out of semifinal reckoning after losing to Chennai Super Kings Tuesday night and Shah Rukh said he was responsible for the disappointing show. "I completely take the blame for not putting up a good enough show...so much love for KKR and I couldn't reciprocate," the actor wrote on his Twitter page.
