Cricket - The Gentleman’s Game

Bangalore Cricket team for IPl, The Royal Challengers was always found in news during the last IPL tournament. The team ended up in the seventh position of the eight teams but was more talked about than the winners, because of its owner Vijay Mallya. Vijay had lambasted his team openly in the media for their dismal performance. He even censured Rahul Dravid.

Now that the trading for the second season has begun, a few newspapers published that Vijay will sell out his entire team except for Rahul Dravid and buy a new team with fresh talent. However, yesterday Vijay condemned these articles and said that he is planning to sell only three players and also mentioned that all the players he would sell would be non-Indian players. He did not reveal the names of the players he would send out.

He also said that in case no one buys the players he decided to sell, he would put in huge sums and buy fresh talent to acheive a balanced team, unlike the team in the previous season. Vijay seems to be pretty determined to win the IPL this time. Wish him all the best.
