With Pune being the latest city to enter the IPL family, the city is abuzz with rumors of what the team from Pune will be called...will it be Bakarwadi Bashers, Mastani XI, Shaniwar Wada Sena...what about the main sponsors..Chitale Bandhu, Champion Sports and yes Durvankur Dining hall too..How abt Hotel Vaishali: The makers of the official S.P.D.P of the home team..or CAD B and CAD M served at those drinks break during a home game...hehehe..the possibilities are endless.
Well so what even we all were still were at Maggikar....this is how the team would have shaped up!!!!
1) Ashok Khedkar: He will be the star foreign player of the team. Drafted from a county in UK or Australia
2) Pankaj: Apart from playing the cricket he will be chief instructor to the team cheer leaders..every six will be followed by a WAVEWAAAAA
3)Pappu Parit: Will be the upcoming talent of the team...remember he sacrificed those front teeth for the game.
4)Chaitanya Kekre: Brings in the much needed management skills and ofcourse the PR touch to the team
5)Dhaval: Ofcourse he will be the face to look out for in those ads which cheer us up apart from the cricket not to mention
6)Sachin Joshi: The self proclaimed captain, coach and yes that mysterious blogger who rocked KKR last season
7) Swanand: Another of the new talent, who spends as much on his hair style as his sunday night dinner when the mess is closed (remember PALACE guys)
8)Khawal: The bad boy of the team..who will not think twice when it comes to slappin back bhajji
9)Addya Deshmukh: The Indian Fair skinned Hunk...
10) Allaya: He will not be available for all the games, cos he might just not wake up in time...puccchh...kay re gundya zhopu de na!!!!
11)Advait: At number 11 I will be the 12th man of the team....
so folks their is our XI....now tell me wht you want!!! (dnt tell me you want the cheer leaders in those frenchies which chaintanya showed off at the balcony..plzzzz)!!!
On a serious note come next year I will be rooting for the Pune team (whatever Sahara names it) and GOD (dont ask me who I am refering to as GOD..plzz!!!)
P.S: Maggikar is the place where I spent the most memorable days of my engg life...When I learnt that Pune got an IPL franchisee there it was clear in my mind what the team will be like atleast for us Maggikars...I am not sure how many of them read my blog..But I have started a thread on our orkut community as well. Thanks Gundya for generating the interest in the topic and scrapping all the guys about. Though I will not be suprised if only you end up commenting on the topic
