Shahrukh Khan v/s Poonam Pandey

Remember the most talked-about Kingfisher calender girl who just shot to fame after announing that she will strip off if Indian team wins World Cup...well the entire world wanted to see her naked but Indian team lifted the World Cup but the svelte model went into hiding after that leaving millions of views depressed for not being able to see a hot model's full bod in nude in the stadium.

Now, King Khan has taken a cue from the model and announced that he would take his shirt off on the day his team Kolkata Knight Riders qualifies for the final of the Indian Premier League 2011 (IPL 2011) or he is trying to get into the footstep of his ex-captain Sourav Ganguli's famous shirt-off ecstasy in Lord's 2002 or perhaps he wants to show to his arch rival Salman Khan who takes off his shirts at the blink of an eye.

Well, whatever be the reason, but I am not sure if anybody is interested in seeing King Khan's 6 pack again after Dard-e-Disco a few years back.  Had he convinced Ms. Pandey at least to take her shirt off that would have certainly revived the fortunes of KKR like the Indian team, it would have been a much better strategy for King Khan.  After all, what motivats anyone better than a hot bod waiting to rip off at a DLF maximum.

King Khan, if you really want Yousuf Pathan to start his blitzkrieg, employ Ms. Pandey to do the needful.

Now the match-fixing rumor for KKR

KKR is the controversy's illegal child, at least it seems so. Since the announcement of IPL season 2, there is not a single day where you think that KKR has not hit the headlines with a new controversy. The captain issue, Buchanan versus Ganguli issue, Shahrukh Khan going back to India, players being sent home in the middle of the tour, the Fake IPL Player, and now the match-fixing accusations. The way lost KKR to RCB from a winning position raised many eyebrows particularly dropping of Ross Taylor catch and the last over fulltoss that was bound to be hit prompted even Lalit Modi to announce an enquiry into this. Well, we all hope that KKR gets cleanchit, otherwise it will bring a huge embarrassment to IPL, Shahrukh Khan, Lalit Modi, BCCI, and the entire Indian cricketing world. Even there are charges made against Shahrukh Khan of entering player's dressing room without permission and offering cash bonuses. So, all these things are keeping KKR on top of media charts despite losing matches on trot. They surely know how to be in limelight.

I think the age-old saying goes well with Shahrukh's KKR "Badname hue to kya hua, naam to phir bhi hoga."

Fake IPL player

A lot is being read about the Fake IPL Player making rounds on the blog circuit. In fact, the entire Indian media is following this Fake IPL Player so closely that it has become the most trafficked blog in just a week. Yesterday, I was just seeing a news clip on NDTV India about the poll buzz about revealing this Fake IPL player identity and some 30,000 internet bloggers and readers have polled in just 1 day.

Everyone is curious to find out the real identity of this Fake IPL Player who has been reporting all the inside and outside news of Kolkata Knight Riders. If the player reveals his identity at the end of the IPL, then I think he becomes genunine from a fake IPL player, but if the player does not reveal his identity, then this might lead us to believe that this once again is a very smart marketing strategy employed by the very marketing savvy KKR owned by King Khan.

Do you think Fake IPL Player is a genuine KKR player or a marketing strategy?
	Genuine, if he reveals his identity at the end of IPL
	He is just some blogger but not KKR player
	He is member of KKR marketing team.
	A very smart blogger who has put a mole in the KKR team.
