Will Kochi have an Official IPL team?

The big question lies in the fact whether Kochi can be one of the new two teams allotted for IPL 2011. With Mohanlal and priyadarshan moving out of the race and the new bids been issued, and the fact that Ahmedabad and nagpur are the major competitors, Can Kochi really have a IPL 2010 team?

Major Bidders for Kochi IPL 2011 Team

• Ashok Piramal Group is part of a consortium that includes the Jaypee Group, Shree Ram Group of Industries, Rosy Blue India Pvt. Ltd and Anchor Electricals Pvt. Ltd.
• Muthoot Pappachan Group
• Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the owner of EPL side Manchester City.
• YusufAli MA, M.D of EMKE group

Kolkata Knight Riders Violet Jersey

I am back this year again with informations about Kolkata knight riders.

This year Shah Rukh Khan Kolkata Knight Riders would not be playing with the black golden combination jersey instead they have changed the jersey color of his IPL team from black to purple. Shah Rukh Khan took the decision after an astrologer advised him that black was unlucky for the team.

Here is the photograph of the new jersey.

Watching Chennai Super Kings Play T20 Cricket Match at home in Chennai Chepauk Stadium!

I was a Kolkata Knight Rider fan till the very moment i entered the stadium. But on the Entrance i was gifted with a free Chennai Super Kings T-shirt. I manged to get two T-shirts. Unluckily for me both were Small sizes and it would fit in to me like Body tights. I was very happy happy to get those The T-shirts and quickly changed to that(even though small) and started supporting for Chennai Super Kings Cricket Team(though at my mind i wanted KKR team to win).

The match was supposed to start at 4 and we had got into the stadium by 2.15PM. It was a very long wait in the hot climatic conditions. Chennai Climate is too hot. Soon the stadium started filling in. So many “beautiful girls”  where to be seen. To be honest i have not seen “much” in bangalore.  Majority of the crowd where Doni supporters. Hardly around 10 people in our stand where supporting Kolkata Knight Riders.

The match started on time and it was a disappointing performance by the Kolkata Knight Riders team. They managed only 147 in 20 Overs. This score seemed no match for Dhoni and team and they achieved it pretty smoothly. The match thus was pretty boring.

There was Shivamani doing rounds around the stadium on the field during breaks with his drums entertaining the crowd. More than the match i was expecting Shahrukh Khan and Vijay (two of my favourite heros), but i was disappointed. While out of the stadium had a glimse of the Kolkata Knight rider cheer girls dressed in minimals from close range. Asked them to pose with me for a Photograph but they just left in a hurry. I couldnt manage a snap of it as i was begging them for a photo and in the confusion they vanished.

It was an intresting chennai trip. The sunday was spent visiting Spencers, Chennai City center and Marina Beach. I would be posting some random shots of the chennai trip in this blog when i get time as you guys know i am very busy with the “Night Shift”.

To End up! Im still a Big Knight Rider Fan!! As one of the Messages in stadium read ” Mind says Chennai but heart says Kolkata”. Heart is still with Kolkata  Knight riders!.

Note: I still havent got hold of Knight rider T-shirts. I called up some guys they said they can give me T-shirts but not the jersey  !
