Knight Riders are toughest: Remarks Sidhu

Former cricketer-turned- politician Navjot Singh Sidhu believes Kolkata's and Chennai IPL teams are the most unprejudiced and tough teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

"Shah Rukh's and the Chennai team is the strongest if we compare the players on the paper. But I will put my money on the Mohali team to hold the championship trophy as I am a Punjabi," Sidhu reacted.

 

 

Speaking at the launch of a reality show on a television channel, he said, IPL was a revolution and it had taken the world by storm and was for the betterment of players.

 

"It (IPL) will change the face of the world cricket. No one would have imagined that so many runs could be scored in a 40 over game. Nowadays, nobody wants to sit and watch cricket for five days. Mr Pawar is like Formula One driver Michael Schumacher who has taken the cricket in a fast lane."

 

"Look at players like Pankaj Dharmani who is getting Rs 50 lakhs a year. I used to get Rs 4,000 to play a Ranji match," said Sidhu, the Member of Parliament from Amritsar.

 

Asked about the future of Indian Cricket League after the launch of IPL, he said, "ICL ka to band baj gaya (ICL has been ruined completely.)"

 

But he hinted that Twenty20 might lose viewer's interest after some time with the launch of similar tournaments in future.

 

"T20 is like a maggy sauce. Each season it has different flavour. It's a grand success and people are liking it because it is the first edition but may be after some point of time they will start losing interest with the coming of many tournaments like IPL," said Sidhu.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi..well the jodi is yet to be finalized by King Khan

In Aditya Chopra’s return film, three new girls have been short-listed to play Shah Rukh Khan ’s love heroine. Aditya Chopra is returning to direction eight years after he directed Mohabbatein with a big-budget Yashraj Films project titled Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi . 

The earlier gossip that Sonam Kapoor has been finalized to play the female lead opposite Shah Rukh has twisted out to be erroneous.  

Aditya has auditioned many girls and has finalised on three newcomers. One girl is named Simran and she is from Punjab. Another is a Mumbai girl. The third girl’s name is anonymous. 
 
The three girls are at present in Mumbai, doing screen tests for the film.
 
Aditya has not been able to take a ultimate name on who will ultimately be SRK’s foremost lady in the film. So, he asked SRK to select one.
 
Since SRK feels he is not at ease in selecting his leading actress out of the three girls, he has gave the responsibility to Aditya.
 
Aditya plans to begin shooting ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ from May. The film plans to be released in December,2008.
