A player claiming to be part of the Kolkata Knight Riders team is writing a blog called the fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com. He has been writing about insider stuff like team meetings, the problems between players and other juicy gossip about many players from the KKR camp and also about members of other teams.
That’s not all he has also been dishing out a lot stuff about the team owners and their private lives.
The writer has cleverly hidden his identity by giving fake names and identities to his team mates while describing their antics.
He calls Sourav – Lordie, Ishant Sharma – Long John, Dildo – Shah Rukh Khan, Coachie – John Buchanan, phoren babas – coach and his team, Prince of Patiala – Yuvaraj, Babli – Preity, Big Sister – Shilpa Shetty, Bevdaas – Bangalore Royal Challengers, Meera Bhai – Harbhajan Singh, Appam – Sreesanth and so on.
Now, the question is who is the “fake IPL Player”?
Some claim he is Lordie himself – Sourav Ganguly and others say it is some clever journalist using his insider knowledge to spin a web of intrigue because not all he says seems to be true and he does seem to lack some of more obvious information that he should know. Others say it is all part of the great IPL marketing machine to increase the TRPs. IPL season 2 is falling way behind the Great Indian Elections this year in the TV rating games.
Anyway, it’s seems that the “fake IPL player” has added some much needed spice to IPL season 2.
