So it's Cheenai vs Rajasthan. Rajasthan Royals turned out to be a surprise finalist in IPL. They were not a team many backed but they for sure made everybody take notice of them. Cheenai was probably only about Dhoni and his Rs 6 cr pay package...not sure who else was part of it..guess hyden and hussey at the begining. I was not a keen follower of IPL and am not even now...but there is so much frenzy about it that I am slowly getting sucked into its charm..or should I say vice- like grip.

I cared a dime what the teams were upto in IPL ...for me it didnt matter. But I was daily hearing voices of exuberence in office about the encounters of the previous day. There were guys who were so charged up about the performance of their team that it was hard to ignore all this. And when the royals entered the final at the cost of dare devils, my phone kept on beeping with mesages from my rajashthan friends...The royal were all over delhi. I never imagined that the club culture ala EPL would bring out so much emotions out of ordinary people. The format seems to be a winner and the city versus city thing is here to stay.

I don't know how my rajasthan friends are gonna celebrate their teams victory...but I am already imagining the kind of reception I am gonna get at office if they Win. It surprises me though that both the teams in the final are linked to the BCCI office bearers...is it a sheer coincidence..I am not saying!!!
