Cricket
and
Bollywood
are
soon
going
to
be
shaking
hands
again,
this
time
for
another
cause
but
only
with
a
sense
of
festivity.
The
venue
being
Sri
Lanka,
the
twenty
20
charity
match
between
Bollywood
and
the
Sri
Lankan
cricketers
will
be
played
at
the
Sinhalese
Sports
Club
Ground
in
Colombo
on
June
4.
Organised
by
IIFA,
this
one
would
surely
get
the
crowds
soaring
in.
To
add
to
the
delight,
IIFA's
Bollywood
stars'
cricket
team
is
said
to
be
captained
by
none
other
than
Shahrukh
Khan
himself,
while
Kumar
Sangakkara
will
captain
the
Sri
Lankan
cricket
team.
The
festivity
would
be
added
by
the
local
and
Indian
singers
who
would
be
performing
there
and
the
fans
would
have
an
opportunity
the
rub
shoulders
with
their
favourite
stars.
Add
to
that,
the
fact
that
the
match
isn't
extremely
serious,
the
general
rules
remain
except
that
the
Bollywood
team
gets
to
have
eleven
players
in
a
rotating
manner
so
that
every
player
gets
a
chance
to
perform.
Sri
Lanka
Cricket
along
with
the
Sri
Lanka
Tourism
are
pleased
to
organise
this
match
as
the
proceeds
of
this
event
go
to
Habitat
and
UNICEF.
