Following Kolkatta, the Bangalore franchise of the IPL was formally launched on Wednesday. Vijay Mallya, the owner of the franchise was present for the launch along with the team mates and captain, Rahul Dravid. The team’s jersey was a mix of red and yellow and the team did look sparkling in them.
Earlier Vijay Mallya and Rahul Dravid were criticized for selecting players who are not well known for quick fire knocks. But addressing the media on Wednesday, Dravid reiterated that they wanted performers rather than stars. They wanted people who believed in the concept of a team.
Meanwhile the team’s chief cricket officer Martin Crowe expressed the team’s burning desire to be the inaugural winners of the IPL. He added that the team had a mix of people with integrity and humility. He also stressed on the fact that T20 was not all smash and bang. Vijay Mallya would be hoping that what Crowe said is true.
