Soumya Sengupta: I'm quite happy you are planning to sell your team. Thank god, we will get someone who knows what cricket is all about and not one who is just after the moolah.
Sundaram: You have a stakeholder called fan base, which I think gives you a major part of your profit. And you know what, nobody gives a damm to your waving or puffing during matches.
The Boss C: The Knight Riders team management had come up with "illogical cricket theories" to get media attention. They had also insulted "one of our gods of cricket" Sunil Gavaskar and "played with our emotion and humiliated our local lad Ganguly". "We need to stop this nightmare", it was "high time to hand out the pink slips and take a u-turn". In case that does happen, "we will come back to you" (The fan also sounded more than miffed for dropping Kolkata from the team name, for the fake blogger saga and the "illogical team composition")
Watch the video for the rousing welcome they gave SRK last year. So if Shah Rukh does everything according to their taste, they'll love him and if not, they'll burn his posters and ban his movies?
Maybe one of these real cricket lovers from Kolkata should pool enough money to buy the franchise off his hand since they know the game so much more than he does.
Oh, and one more thing... look up the list of IPL team owners and name me an owner who 'knows what cricket is all about'... which one? Vijay Mallya? India Cements? Reliance Industries Ltd?
IPL is not just about cricket. It's high time everyone accepts that so we all can get on with life.
