Kerala joined the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the auction for the new teams held here on Sunday. The IPL will feature 10 sides from 2011.
Rendezvous Sports World, a consortium of five companies, won Kochi with a bid of $333.3 million. In fact, the worth of the two new teams is more than the eight other teams put together.Kerala Cricket Association Already took lease of Kochi Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium for the next 5 years.
The IPL fever has headed towards the south. So it seems with our very own superstar Mohanlal deciding to start an IPL team for Kerala. Mohanlal who has had a penchant for cricket since his childhood days has decided to launch a team from Kerala.
Buzz up!Master director Priyadarshan is also ready to associate with him in this venture. The friends are in the midst of discussions regarding this to see their deep love for cricket materialize in this form. The actor has also decided to approach the Kerala Cricket Association to get to know the formalities and as per the sources, he is expected to hold talks with the MP Shashi Tharoor to seek his help in this regard.
Top Bollywood director Priyadarshan and Mollywood superstar Mohanlal plan to start a cricket team from Kerala for the next IPL season, to be titled as ‘City Cricketers’.
Two NRIs and a few corporates are willing to fund the project which will cost around Rs 250 crore. The team will have its own state-of-the-art cricket stadium near Kovalam. Former Indian player and fielding coach Robin Singh has been signed as the technical director.
“The KCA will approach the BCCI with our proposal, and if all goes well, we will start our IPL innings next year,†concludes Priyadarsan.
Asin to be made the City Cricketers brand ambassador
Though the dotted line is far from being signed, fans are already hollering for actress Asin to be made the team’s brand ambassador. Anupriya, a DU student says: “Asin will be the perfect choice because as a young Keralite she embodies the rising aspirations of youngsters in the state.
Plus, she is so glamourous.” Agreeing with her, Amit Kartikeyan, a software pro, adds “a good second choice could be Vidya Balan, another Keralite” On the name of the team: City Cricketers, Manoj Madhavan, a media professional says “It’s a weak name, sounds very local and has no Kerala flavour, it should have been something like Southern heroes.
