Halla Bol - Rajasthan Royals

The promotional videos of the IPL teams this year haven't impressed much. SPecially the one of Chennai Super Kings seems to have been made by school goers. Its truly unprofessional. Moreover the Mumbai Indians' video also lacks the charisma this year as compared to last years video. No wonder the first match of the tournament is between MI and CSK the teams with worst videos this year.

Have you seen Hall Bol?? I mean not the Movie , the RR's promotional video. Shilpa sizzles the video and makes the people go Ga Ga over it, a good competition for SRK's KKR. Lets have a look at it...

IPL - Gala Parade

Its IPL fever in South Africa, the Indians are very much missing it, They have kick started the grand festival of cricket, and that too with a bang. Just look at the grand Gala Parade organized two days before the IPL. Well I know it would have been really difficult to organize such a parade in India because of the security and traffic problems. Nevertheless India will organize it next year and that too in a grand manner. Till then lets enjoy the South African version of IPL.

IPL IPL IPL ....... Its in the air...

Folks the IPL is in the air now. And as expected the most hyped team this year again seems to be KKR, with John Buchanan coming up with innovative idea of multiple captains and Sourav Ganguly's fans in India not appreciating it much. Moreover a column on an Indian Daily by Mr. Sunil Gavaskar on the strategy of KKR, made the proud of owner of KKR, Mr. Shahrukh Khan to say in front of the Media that "If somebody has problem than buy your own team and do whatever you want with them. Please give us some space to do experiments". Dada seems to be convinced with the idea of multiple captains. Don't know how is this going to work in T20 mode, but it will certainly be very interesting to watch.

The other teams seem to be very quiet with their preparations and not making much waves. Although the anthem of Mumbai Indians is out and has not impressed me much. Still wondering which team to support this time.

Is any one planning to go South Africa to watch IPL??? The IPL packages by Thomas Cook and kingfisher holidays start from, an attractive price of Rs 43000 for 3 nights and 4 days including air fare, transfers, accomodation, travel insurance and match tickets. And here is the schedule of IPL for you to download.

Cheers :)
