Team owners decide to simulate missing players in IPL (Satire)
IPL franchisee owners are clamouring for change.
Fed-up of being short-changed by the non-availability of key players, team honchos have decided to drive changes in the format of the IPL.
“After paying superstars millions of dollars, the least you could expect is that they would be on hand for the duration of the tournament.
But no such luck.”
“National team commitments are deemed more important”, complains a prominent unnamed IPL co-owner.
Poonam Pandey, Cheer Queens and Supermodels (Humour)
That Poonam Pandey enjoys flirting with danger was well evident in her offer to do the Full Monty if Team India won the World Cup.
Despite receiving threatening calls and recovering from kidney stone removal surgery, the model intends to keep her word.
As if to make up for her hardships, Akshaye Kumar has offered her a chance to appear on his dare-devil television show for ladies “Khatron Ke Khiladi”.
Virender Sehwag bats out a maiden over, to bookies’ distress (Satire)
Indian bookies are disappointed with Virender Sehwag.
The dashing Indian opener played out a maiden over against Lasith Malinga in a group encounter for Delhi Daredevils against Mumbai Indians.
The bookmakers are believed to have suffered heavy losses. The odds against such a happening were astronomical.
IPL has more than enough gas to cover the fourth stage
The game between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkatta Knight Riders was a humdinger. A last-ball finish was a perfect ending to a cliff-hanger.
Fresh personnel could not take KKR over the line. Captain Cool MS Dhoni retains the Midas touch though he seemed a little lacklustre in the field.
IPL franchisees demand a say in appointment of curators (Satire)
There are more rumbles within the IPL.
The franchisees are not all pleased with the auctions. Though teams have largely grabbed the players they short-listed, the team owners feel that they should have a say in the appointment of curators and groundsmen especially at their home venues.
Anirudha Srikkanth makes a mark against KKR in IPL4 opener
Once upon a star, a star is born.
Is Anirudha Srikkanth is a star in the making?
In the first game of IPL4, the young dasher gave spectators a glimpse of his talent.
He has a cool head and a great temperament.
Opening for Chennai SuperKings, the right-hand bat composed 64 off 55 balls which included six 4’s and two 6’s to propel his team to a competitive 153 in their essay.
Victory by his team off the last ball of the final over ensured that he was declared player of the match.
Insuring World Cup events and IPL players , at a price (Humour)
Almost all top guns in the IPL have been insured by their respective teams, ranging from Sachin Tendulkar (Rs. 44.97 crores) to Gautam Gambhir (Rs. 11.64 crores).
Wouldn’t it have been a great idea for the ICC to secure insurance cover against original trophies locked down by bureaucratic Customs officials? The eventualities covered could include embarrassment caused by disclosures that ‘hugged-and-kissed’ trophy is a replica, free World Cup tickets demanded by said officials and sundry miscellaneous damages including loss-of-face.
Shane Warne is new host of ‘The Week That Wasn’t’ (Satire)
CNN-IBN have announced that for the duration of IPL4, beginning Saturday, 9th April, 2011, their show ‘The Week That Wasn’t’ will not be hosted by Cyrus Broacha.
He will be replaced by ‘Sheik Of Tweak’ Shane Warne.
