TV stars gear up for Box Cricket League; to be played from 23 March
Cricket
is a game the entire nation loves to watch. And when you get a chance
to flex your muscles and play it, there's nothing better than that. But
your favourite TV stars hardly get this opportunity. So when the chance
came knocking, 60 players from the television world signed up to be a
part of the much talked about Box Cricket League, which will be played
among six teams from 23 March with a grand finale on 6 April (2014).
And this initiative has been taken by Sunny Arora, owner Marinating
Films, an entertainment company. Speaking to Tellychakkar.com, Sunny
shares, "I have been involved in cricket from the time I was in my
hometown Pritampura. And we always used to play cricket in office with
soft balls, so suddenly one night at around 2am, the idea struck me and
till morning I managed to formalize all the details. And in two days
with the help of friends the idea spread like wild fire and today we are
all set to have a grand opening soon."
TV celebrities will be playing the matches in a 100 X 100 X 40 feel
box like pitch with soft smiley balls. And interestingly the match will
have females not just cheering the guys but also playing the game. Each
team will compromise of 14 members wherein only eight will be allowed to
play in a match, six males and two females. The eleven over innings
will also have a compulsion for the fairer sex to bowl an over.
And coming to the teams, Sunny adds, "The team will have a captain
and also a promoter. Also we have managed to rope in Jacky Shroff as the
brand ambassador of the Babu Moshaye team. The entertainment quotient
will be handled by Noorin Shah. And at the end of each match there will
be three awards, Man of the match, Lucky Man of the Match and the Khadda
of the Match, who as the name suggests will be given to the weakest
player (smiles).
