IPL 10 Things Every Girl Who Is Clueless About Cricket Experiences During IPLs here. We’re all just playing amongst each other like an inter society Holi. While cricket enthusiasts are painting their faces in Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers’ logos, there are the few from the feminine variety who think a ‘wide ball’, is a ‘white ball’.
Yes, us cricket-ignorant women, have no interest in following up on Virat’s amazing form, Dhoni’s frequency of sixes or Sachin’s retirement plan. We only get dragged into the batting moshpit when IPL props it’s face in our social calendars.
Here are the symptoms of IPL for us clueless cricket goes,
1. We are forced to watch Mumbai Indians v/s Rising Pune Supergiants, even though Pretty Woman is playing on the next channel.
2. We start commenting on how slutty/hot/skinny the cheerleaders are and secretly wish we could pull it off
3. When we’re done checking out cheerleaders, we have but only one option, to rank all the players in descending order of hotness.
4. Then we spend a good part of the time, finding other clueless woman and engaging in a long discussion of which player is dating which bollywood diva
5. We’re forced to go to IPL matches and pretend to care but we cheer at all the wrong times and find our overpriced Vada Pav more interesting.
6. We’re more excited about what to wear to an IPL match, than the game itself
7. Or look at the ridiculous things people are caught doing on camera, while at the stadium.
8. If someone asks us the score, we point to the screen, knowing full well that we can recall the number of ads that have gone by, but not the score
9. Each time you plan on making a drinking plan, you’re forced to shortlist pubs that are screening the match
10. You nod along when someone says power play, cover drive or silly point, even though you think a ‘silly point’ defines Navjot Singh’s opinion on the weather.
So if you feel you’ve experienced none of these, refrain from making fun of those of us who feel all of these.
