Finally IPL 2011 has come to an end and here's a look at a few interesting things that happened during the tournament. These events are generally not related to cricket unless Warne kissing Liz Hurely on a cricket field is classified under cricket. However these happenings are things that can take place only in the Indian Premier League. So here are the tricks, the kisses, the homage, the colors and the scandal that took place this IPL.
There were some outstanding catches and athleticism. None more than Pollard and Mithun at long-off. They both pulled spectacular catches at the edge of the ropes!
The Kisses!
No, I'm not talking about Hershey Kisses here! I'm talking about actresses and cricket stars and team owners kissing each other in the middle of the a cricket match with thousands watching!
Saurav Ganguly who was not bought in the auctions still managed to play in the IPL for Pune thanks to Ashish Nehra's injury. The master played under his padawan - Yuvraj Singh. On his first comeback match, a fan rushed into the field to pay his respect to the man known as the Prince of Calcutta!
The Cheerleader Scandal
It was only a matter of time before a cheerleading scnadal hit cricket. Gabriella Pasqualotto - A Mumbai Indians cheerleader from South Africa was fired from her job by the IPL bigwigs after she blogged about the many flirtations and party behaviors of various cricketing stars. Comments such as '‘Ol Graeme Smith will flirt with anything...' had few cricketers complain that their exclusive night life was being publicized. As expected, Gabriella was soon sent packing home, where she now earns handsomely reveling her experiences to the world audience. She is right now writing a book called 'Walking Voyeurism'. Hershelle Gibbs is writing the foreward.
So these are just few of the many incidents that took place this year in the IPL. And as the title suggests, these incidents can only take place in the IPL.
The Go-Green Initiative and the 37 run over!
Royal Challengers Bangalore being the first team to have a green initiative, sported a green kit against Kerala for a match. Also in the same match, Chris Gayle hit 37 runs of an over! Yes, that's worse than 6 sixes in an over!The Cheerleader ScandalIt was only a matter of time before a cheerleading scnadal hit cricket.
