It took a little longer for some cities to warm to the concept of the IPL, and Delhi was certainly one of them.
However, the capital has now embraced the league with open arms, and the atmosphere at the Ferozeshah Kotla was simply electric. It helps that they have a really champion team, with an icon like Virender Sehwag.
Kolkata was possibly the first team that took to the concept of city loyalties but the rest are catching up. This is the sense I got at the game.
After the game comes the after-game party. The IPL nights have really taken everybody by storm, and a little bird tells me that the best parties are in Kolkata and Bangalore.
IPL nights is a platform where city rivalry takes a back seat and the dips n
grooves of the music let players piss off their stress. It’s a platform where girls in minis let players forget about tough moments on the field.It’s a platform where Lalit Modi shows ‘Who he is’ by clinching in big celebs at the party.
Apart from IPL nights there are individual parties also. SRK usually throws a party after the match irrespective of the result. Evan when KKR loses, SRK distributes Gifts among teammates.
Players have been heard saying SRK’s behind, ” Please someone tell SRK that we have lost the match”.
