IPL IV : Bringing out the jingoist in me

Unlike few of my buddies, I am no sports fanatic. I follow a few passively and cricket is one of them. That’s exactly why I didn’t felt all that excited about IPL. As expected IPL has taken the cricketing world by storm. Dedicated fan bases, the kind that you only see in European football clubs took root in no time. Although I track all the clubs, like all Mumbaiker’s I too have a special affection towards the Mumbai Indians.

All that is going to change, the IPL itself is going to see a transition and complete makeover. You see the Mallu’s are here, 9th team in IPL from the great Cochin will be featuring from IPL IV onwards. The 9th IPL team, Mallu Pulikal is going to be an unstoppable force, like any malayalle that you come across. The Pulikal’s are going to crush every one who come their way (Of course, except Sachin).The name Cochin Pulikal might not be the official one, but the essence remains the same.

GO MALLU PULIKAL’s GO……..The whole of Kerala and Middle East is supporting you along with every mallu from New York to Timbuktu
