Mumbai.
The
2nd IPL finalist being decided amid a great run fest, the winners
who shall proceed are the Kings XI Punjab. Amid the celebration, the KXIP
management realized that the number of fans celebrating the win had suddenly
increased.
Also
noted by several other people, this statement invoked a lot of verbal violence
on social networking sites. The team is yet to announce the official data on
where the fans came from, but there are rumors that they were parts of the
Mumbai Indians fan club and also the Royal Challengers Bangalore Camp, which
were both knocked out by the men in yellow.
The
Chennai Super Kings management just shared a single picture in reply to this
speculation.
Other
teams have not officially responded, but we have got reports that they too are
shocked by the level of plastic fans their team has in the Indian Premier
League.
An
unnamed official from one of the other teams said that, “We got this fan spike
in the eliminator game, but we are quite used to such things happening. We have
always noticed this when we play against certain teams, but then who doesn’t like
fans.”
There
are also reports coming in of people claiming that Raina’s 2nd
fastest 50 in IPL history was fixed.
“It
was all done to make the match interesting,” said a couple of new KXIP supporters.
When
these people were asked about Sehwag’s century in the first innings of the same
game, they began rejoicing and saying that he was the best player, and such an innings
by him was long due. ‘Sheer class’
were the words used by the same people.
The
Punjab management later revealed that the spike was not caused by fans of other
teams, but by the haters of their opposition (Chennai Super Kings). The
spokesperson went on to say that Raina’s innings was indeed very good and that
even the management was scared of the result when he was playing.
As
the night progressed, people began blaming their own teams for changing
support. Some said that their team was knocked out so they were cheering for
the side which stood opposite to the one they hated.
“My
favorite team was knocked out earlier in the tournament even though we
possessed various heavyweights. I guess it’s the management! I think Baba
Ramdev should take over from the current owners. But yes, we were finalists
when we came 2nd in the 2nd season on the League. Chennai
must come last in the table, because they knocked us out.”
On
being told what was said, Baba Ramdev gave us an exclusive take on this.
On
seeing this image appear, the Congress and AAP have rushed in to say that this
was all facilitated by the new government in Delhi, and that Baba Ramdev must
be named in the FIRs of the fixing scandal. The Aam Aadmi Party has already
made plans for dharna, while the Congress has made sure that their irresponsible
leader has shut down Chota Bheem for some time.

Note: If you can’t support a team, then there is no point in hating another. Rather
support the game, and ensure that the sport played is fair and allows you
enjoyment. Sports are for recreation, entertainment and to unite the people in
the sport, and not for abusing and blaming international stalwarts who have
contributed quite a lot to cricket. Lastly, if your team gets knocked out, then
at least do not hate the team which made that happen. They superiority in the
game must have been what made sure of their advancement. Again I say,
supporting a team isn’t important; it’s the support for a good game of the
sport being played which matters.

Well said.. the story is the same in football, where people change preferences like they change clothes everyday.
ReplyDeleteYou will find many as such in the upcoming world cup :P
Ahh yes, that will be more exaggerated with people changing teams at every level. But at least the stuff about certain teams fixing and stuff won't appear.
