IPL 2.0, Dada and Elections

The so called shrewed combination of business and cricket is just about to begin and with that I can see the politicians getting anxious about the kind of response they will get from Media and the people. Since yesterday media has restricted its elections coverage and diverted good time to IPL, and once IPL is on, the crowd at rallies will be hard to gather.

Also came a news that dada is sacked as KKR captain, and to my complete astonishment, no news channel is reporting the response of Kolkata. I expected effigies of Shahrukh and Buchanan being burnt on the roads of Kolkata, but till now no news. But still i feel, next year it will be a big problem for Buchanan and Shahrukh, when the matches will be held in kolkata or may be they will ask for another home stadium. As IPL is a shrewd combination of cricket and business, KKR management must have had the business in their mind before making such decision, or may be the multi captain theory was just to give jore ka jhatka dheere se. Anyways I am waiting for the images of shahrukh being booed in kolkata ... my destructive mind :P.
