New Delhi :Bollywood King  Shah Rukh Khan, who played a motivating hockey coach in ‘Chak De! India’, has now expressed solidarity with the country’s hockey team, which boycotted a training camp in Pune over non-payment of sponsorship money and match fees.

‘(I) feel awful for the Indian hockey team. To play for the country…(the) national sport and (they) have to ask for salary. And (then) we complain (that) we don’t win gold,’ Shah Rukh has posted on popular social networking site Twitter.

The players, who are preparing for the World Cup at Pune’s Balewadi Complex under chief coach Jose Brasa, Thursday decided to ‘boycott’ the camp until their dues are paid and the issue is resolved.
