Why SRK made McCullum KKR captain (a long shot, but what the heck)

You have lost sleep over the Ganguly-KKR episode. Then you lost your mind when McCullum became captain. But the reason behind all this is quite simple: team owner SRK was, in his cricket playing days, a wicketkeeper too - here's the inside dope:

"We were schoolmates. He was the wicket keeper and I the opening batsmen for our junior school cricket team at St. Columba’s School, New Delhi."

For the full lowdown on SRK and cricket, here's an insider's take.

Fake IPL Player and the movies.

I think the 'Fake IPL Player' blog is a hyped KKR-Bollywood stunt. The blog could be assembled by more than one guy, but with the final go-ahead from the big boss – anybody who’s read Akash Chopra, self ridiculing style will be thinking, is it him?

Just think back to his U.K. Diary in Hindustan Times – they pulled no punches. Chopra, at no point, made excuses for himself as a player, or the reason behind his cricket cum business trip, playing some lowly league cricket on deathly damp pitches where no sane cricketer would dream of a pitch inspection leave alone a game.

Then there’s the almost aloof Murali Kartik, done time in the counties again, picked some of that wry English humour, have you M?

And what about SRK, back to school, theatre, bring some of that drama into his team?

Either way KKR don’t lose – they’re the only team that has been in the news through-out.

Look at the build up in the blogs, the almost Hitchcockesque tension, as if the fake IPL player will be stabbed blogging in the shower.

Either way, this is masti. And that’s what the IPL is? For a test match, the 12th man can write a book. Leather bound obviously.

Bored Cricket Crazy Indians (BCC!) posted the 'Fake IPL Player' even before fake could post it.
