The Fake IPL Player - Taking IPL By Storm!

All those of you who have been following the IPl regularly - hope you haven't missed out on the fake IPL player's blog! Its worth reading, believe me. The "fake IPL player" apparently belongs to the Kolkata Knight Riders and gives juicy insider reports of the KKR and IPL happenings straight from South Africa. Sample what he has to say about yesterday's meeting between Bangalore and Kolkata.

"It's almost like a battle for the bottom of the barrell. Both of us have tried every rule in the book to ensure that we finish last." and more -
"Entering the meeting room I got a really funny feeling. Boy George, Bhookha Naan, Phoren Babas and the entire coaching staff (which now probably is larger than the playing staff) was seated and looking at us as we entered. Somewhat like the 70s films when the worker's union went in to negotiate with the management."

He talks of a mutiny in the KKR team and how with just 11 players left no one else can be sent back! His blog is funny, acerbic, talks knowledgeably about the game, players, selectors, commentators and spares no one! He has insolent nicknames for everyone. Ganguly is "Lordy", Shahrukh is "D*ldo", Shastri is "Kishen Kanhaiya" and such. The biggest guessing game now on amongst IPL fans is to the identity of the the "fake IPL player" and he may soon have more followers than the Kolkata team. Shahrukh sure doesn't need this headache,,,or does he ith his "megalomania" ...I am not saying that, the blogger said that! Well the fake IPL player's last post has 1004 comments (including mine). So you can guess his popularity.

Who can it be? Is it Ranadeb Bose (some sections believe that) - who is with the King's team now (but he gives insider views of the KKR dressing room as you can see) or could it be Sanjay Bangar or Akash Chopra, both sent back players (the fake IPL player empathises with them and says that they shouldn't have been chosen in the first place and if chosen should have been given more than two games. He also says they are genuinely nice guys). But cant be them because the blogging continues (with more acidity if possible on their departure) from SA and they are at India. My guess is its a non-Bong Indian player (not many of those so take your pick). Whatever it is, I love the guy's style and sense of humor. Hope the KKR and IPL management too has some humor to accept it! I know there are murmers in some quarters that he is cowardly because of hiding behind a pseudonym. We all know what would have happened if he had blogged in the open - he would have been gagged before even starting and the cricket World would have lost these IPL gems.

Can't stop laughing. Go on, read his blog, and enjoy the IPL as never before!

Just a thought - is he a plant? After all can't be too difficult to find a fringe Indian player who uses a Macbook Pro, can bat a bit, bowl a bit, field like a "maniac", has not played a Test and was sitting in the stand last year!
