The Launch of the Jerseys

It was a fashionable evening at ‘Poison’ in Bandra when the ICL crew decided to unveil the jerseys and the teams who were slated to participate in the inaugural 20-20 Indian Championship. We were there, and witnessed first hand the colourful attires the players were going to sport at the event.

We were anxiously waiting to know which cities would represent the league in the introductory season, and I was happy to know that Mumbai was one of them. Slogans of the Mumbai Champs, Kolkata Tigers, Delhi Jets, Hyderabad Heroes, Chennai Superstars and Chandigarh Lions were uncovered and it prompted a huge cheer in the assembled spirited ones.

The sizzling models made their way out to walk the ramp wearing the teams’ jerseys. The designer of which is the celebrated Indian fashion guru Manish Arora. He cuddled around all the models and offered an unruffled snap – one that summed up the night. Rohan Gavaskar and Robin Morris were sipping their drinks and conversing with the likes of Kapil Dev, Kiran More, Ayaz Memon (senior journalist) and Himanshu Mody (Business Head, ICL).

Well we had a blast myself watching these colourful people on their starry night.
