Ek Nayi League

The word itself suggests that this is full of surprises and not for the ones who play with their hearts. Kapil Dev Ramlal Nikhanj, a name which is taken with great respect by all generations as we talk of the legend himself. An International career spanning 16 years of bowling on Indian pitches and Indian conditions, a then world record 434 wickets and over 5000 runs make you the best All-rounder ever we had in that era. You have taught all the youngsters how to use brains over heart, but still give your best when you returned from a knee injury and played till retirement without missing a single Test or ODI (except for the 3^rd Test at Kolkata during 1984-85 series against England) Such was your determination that you played cricket with a changed bowling style (we missed the complete royal and majestic jump just before releasing the ball) for the next 10 years. No other bowler has survived and played after the hammering on the knees one gets in Indian playing conditions. You managed to do so because you were not playing just with heart, but used brains to effectively swing the ball. The famous outswingers and the inswinging Yorkers are something which the world will remember for years to come, and who can forget the unbeaten 175 you scored during a world cup match? It’s sad that the match was not covered due to a strike else we would have got to see some exemplary shots today which would have helped many youngsters.

Now we have come to know that you are launching EK NAYI LEAGUE. Though you have created suspense about the whole thing and no one knows what it would be all about, what we all can do is guess what is the whole thing all about. So here I am trying to guess and use my gray matter on this topic. I personally feel that since you have been associated with not just cricket, but Sports as a whole, this would be a quiz show a Quiz league which will involve all Sports people. This league will have an entirely new format where the game will be based on using brains and not any of your playing  skills and that’s the precise reason why you have been warning all of them in your videos that if they play with their heart then they would lose their wicket meaning they would lose the round or the entire game. Since you have an immense knowledge base at your disposal I am sure the questions will be very tricky and prima facia it may appear that they are very easy but end up being tough ones if one does not use his head. There would be knock-out rounds like the league matches and the top scorers will move to the quarter finals, semi finals and the finals ultimately. I think this would be a 51 episode series coming in very soon. Eagerly waiting for it to start and check how much I am right on this one.
