Television stars cheer for IPL
Mukul Dev
What
is
your
view
on
IPL?
I
think
it's
a
fantastic
format
in
cricket.
For
me
it's
entertainment
at
its
peak.
I
am
looking
forward
to
IPL,
especially
because
of
Shah
Rukh's
team,
the
Kolkata
Knight
Riders.
I
am
very
excited
about
this.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
The
Kolkata
Knight
Riders.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
That
would
be
Sourav
Ganguly.
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
Not
at
all.
I
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
game.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
No
I
don't
think
so.
Sharad Kelkar:
What
is
your
view
on
IPL?
IPL
and
20-20
are
really
entertaining.
People
want
to
watch
more
of
it.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
Sachin
Tendulkar
is
my
favorite
player
so
undoubtedly,
Mumbai
Indians.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
My
prediction
is,
Virender
Sehwag.
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
I
think
nothing
can
affect
their
play
as
they
all
are
bunch
of
professional
players
and
very
dedicated
towards
their
game.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
No.
In
the
earlier
days,
there
was
not
much
money
involved
in
the
game.
Now,
however,
cricket
has
become
one
of
the
professions.
Ronit Roy:
What
is
your
view
on
IPL?
It
is
a
good
concept
and
I
think
it
is
going
to
be
very
entertaining.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
I
am
not
supporting
any
team.
Both
Mumbai
and
Kolkata
are
close
to
me
so
I
am
finding
it
difficult
to
choose
one
particular
team.
Also,
this
time,
it
is
India
vs
India,
and
that
makes
it
more
difficult.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
Difficult
to
predict
right
now.
Let
the
series
begin.
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
I
don't
think
so.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
I
don't
think
that
government
will
ever
let
betting
become
legalized.
Our
system
is
not
so
liberal.
So
I
don't
think
that
it
will
ever
happen
Varun Badola:
What
is
your
view
on
IPL?
It
is
a
fantastic
concept.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
I
prefer
to
cheer
for
any
team
which
becomes
the
underdog.
I
do
not
prefer
champions.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
It
depends.
We
can't
predict
that
right
now.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
It
should
have
been
legalized
5-10
years
ago.
Anyway,
I
don't
think
that
they
will
legalize
betting.
Gautam Rode:
What
are
your
views
on
IPL?
It
is
interesting
as
most
of
the
teams
are
owned
by
stars
and
at
the
same
time
it
is
more
commercialized
than
cricket.
Everyone
will
watch
it
because
of
the
commercialization
rather
than
the
game
of
cricket.
It
is
fun
and
entertainment,
basically,
we
can't
call
it
sports
-
it
is
totally
commercial.
It's
just
about
money,
commercials
and
all
that
with
stars
attending
the
functions.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
I
don't
know
who
is
in
which
team,
but
since
I
love
Tendulkars
game,
I
will
be
cheering
for
his
team.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
I
think
it
should
be
Andrew
Symonds.
He
is
a
great
player.
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
I
don't
think
it
will
affect
the
players
in
any
way.
They
will
be
able
to
play
their
game.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
I
don't
know
much
about
that
so
I
can't
comment.
Megha Gupta:
What
are
your
views
on
IPL?
See
I
am
not
a
very
cricket
person
so
I
am
neither
for
nor
against
the
IPL.
As
long
as
it
is
healthy,
I
think
it
is
good.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
That
would
be
Preity
Zintas
team.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
I
really
don't
know
who
is
playing
for
which
team
so
I
really
can't
comment
on
that.
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
In
fact,
I
think
that
the
presence
of
Bollywood
celebs
will
boost
the
morale
of
the
players.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
I
don't
think
it
will
get
legalized,
and,
as
far
as
I
am
concerned,
it
should
not.
Mona Singh:
What
are
your
views
on
IPL?
The
concept
of
IPL
is
new,
and
I
think
it
will
take
some
time
to
click
with
cricket
lovers
in
this
country.
I
am
looking
forward
to
the
matches
and
the
added
glamour.
In
fact,
I
will
be
in
Kolkata
to
watch
one
of
the
Knight
Riders
matches.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
The
Kolkata
Knight
Riders.
I
love
the
gold
Shah
Rukh
Khan
has
used
for
the
team.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
I
am
a
big
Dravid
fan
and
also
a
Ganguly
fan.
Both
of
them
are
in
different
teams
so
let's
see
(laughs).
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
No
not
at
all,
I
think
all
these
are
for
the
promotion
of
the
matches
and
to
create
excitement
and
to
build
up
the
excitement.
I
am
sure
people
will
go
and
watch
the
matches
because
they
will
not
only
be
able
to
see
the
cricketers
but
they
will
also
get
to
see
their
favourite
stars.
It's
a
very
American
idea
and
it
won't
hamper
in
the
performances
at
all.
Do
you
think
that
with
business
houses
and
celebrities
owning
teams,
betting
on
the
game
will
soon
be
legalized
as
it
is
in
some
other
countries?
Let's
see
what
the
IPL
does.
It
is
a
very
new
trend
and
it
is
very
new
to
India
–
we
have
always
supported
India
against
teams
from
other
nations,
but
now
we
have
to
chose
teams
from
Mohali,
Kolkata,
etc.
Let's
see
how
it
fares.
Amit Verma:
What
are
your
views
on
IPL?
I
think
it
is
very
interesting,
although
I
prefer
the
50-over
format.
Also,
some
of
our
favourite
players
will
be
in
one
team,
which
was
not
possible
earlier.
It
will
be
nice
to
see
McGrath
and
Sachin
playing
together.
Which
team
would
you
cheer
for
in
IPL?
Undoubtedly
Sachin
Tendulkar's
team.
Who,
according
to
you,
is
the
strongest
contender
for
the
'Man
of
the
Series'
title?
Man
of
the
Series
or
Man
of
the
Match,
for
me,
Sachin
Tendulkar
is
the
only
contender,
since
he
is
my
favourite.
Do
you
think
the
presence
of
Bollywood
personalities
during
the
IPL
matches
will
affect
the
performances
of
a
player?
I
don't
think
it
will
affect
the
performance
of
the
players.
Besides,
this
is
Twenty20
-
the
game
will
be
played
with
more
entertainment
and
with
more
aggression
than
a
fifty-over
match.
The
players
will
be
totally
focused
and
have
a
great
time,
too.
I
think
they
will
make
the
most
of
it
and
enjoy
themselves.
Do you think that with business houses and celebrities owning teams, betting on the game will soon be legalized as it is in some other countries? I think it's an interesting move, a good money making strategy also. People from outside India will take India very seriously. So it will be like a brand name and it will become popular.
