Leg before wicket

Posted 1 week, 6 days ago in Indian Premier League

In the Indian Express, Leher Kala writes on the demands placed on the IPL cheerleaders.

"On the first day we didn't understand cricket at all. Now we get it a litte," says Evgenia Guseva, who is a trained gymnast, ballet dancer and who's been a cheerleader for four years for football matches in Russia. Currently she's learning hip-hop and salsa in Moscow and plans to open her own dance school soon.

The IPL is in desperate search of a new grammar where emotions are on a raw edge and everyone is so passionately involved that he needs to hit to opponent to prove his commitment, writes Pradeep Magazine in the Hindustan Times.

In the same paper, Varun Gupta writes on the mystery over Shane Warne and his love for No.23.
