Also snapped watching the game with rapt attention was Telugu superstar Venkatesh, who was in the company of the owners of Delhi Daredevils.

As much as one would like to believe otherwise, there is no bigger entity in sport than the fan. You entertain the crowds and they are yours for life.

These supporters of India and Delhi Daredevils' opener Virender Sehwag seem to imply that very sentiment.

Are the BCCI selectors watching?

These young blokes get creative with some word play.
