It’s past 7 am. We had an early training session today. There was a drizzle throughout and the rain seems to have become harder. Some of us have just returned from the session while some others are still at it. Honing their skills for the match today. This is the one match that everyone believes we can win. There are just 2-3 opposing players to take care of while they bat. And their bowling is pretty weak. So, we have a chance today and everyone seems to think so. But, only if the weather gods permit.
Last night some senior players met with the management to discuss this blog. Apparently, some Bengali journalist heard about this blog from his friend in India. The news spread fast amongst the journalistic circles. Initially, they suspected someone within their fraternity to be doing so. Some of the stuff written on the blog seemed to match the grapevine that they had heard too. One of them went and asked one senior player about it. Who, apparently, asked “Eyi Blog Maane Kee?”. Eventually, it was reported to the management and the CEO with his team took a look at it. They want to catch me within 24 hours. And a witch hunt is on. There are 4 suspects. The funny thing is that I am not on the list. Unfortunately, they are going after young players who seem to match my description (as described in the blog). Has it occurred to anyone that I might have described myself incorrectly to hide my identity? Little John was called to enquire who all were there when he was talking about his friendly chat with the coach. But there were 9 people in the room at the time. Anyway, I hope no young, promising player gets penalised for my actions. I hope better sense prevails amongst the management.
The only drawback of all the attention is that I will have to be much more discreet in posting my blogs. And I will only write about things that others in the team also know. The other drawback is that team meetings are much more secretive now. We still don’t know who all are playing today. But, going by how the guys were practicing, I get a feeling that the skipper is not going to keep today. Also, one new bowler will get a look in – either our spin bowling will be made stronger or the Bangla Tiger will get a look in (depending on the conditions). Due to the weather, nobody’s had a look at the wicket yet. So far, spinners seem to be winning matches for their respective teams. So, there’s the thought of including Junta Tormentor in the side. (I couldn’t believe that he was left out in the first place). But again, this is Durban and if the pitch plays to reputation our Bangla Tiger will be quite a handful. Either of these 2 guys is definitely in, depending on how our coach reads the pitch. Did you know, he is the only man in the world who can read the pitch on his laptop?
Off to breakfast. Our game starts at 12.30 pm (local time). We will head to the ground at 10.30 am. And that’s where the final XI will be announced. Although, there’s one thing I already know about the Final XI – I am not in 
Guys. It is not Murali Kartik, I’m sure. He has no reason to write this blog. He is playing in every match for KR, so far in IPL 2.

great blog.. dude, believe in lordie.. i am a KKR fan cos of the lord & hope to see KKR finish last in the table cos of the way they handled him.. hope the laptop coach gets dumped this yr & lordie gets back his position..
Great blog.But, how long before some assface clown that passes for opinion journalist in Cricinfo writes a column bemoaning the lack of ethics and professionalism in Indian cricketers and draw warped conclusion about Indian society in general?I am guessing Siddarth Monga or Rahul Battacharya will fire the first salvo. Mukul Kesavan will then write a tortuous piece involving Pakistan, test cricket, Nawab of Pataudi, caste, class, kitchen sink and Pamela Anderson’s boobs. The article will make getting a foot long dick in the ass less painful.
Dude .. you are just awesome!! You must decide where your talents lie, as a cricketer or a blogger!Trust me .. even if you can’t manage to get a match .. forget about it and just start writing on Cricinfo or better still, sign up as a commentator. Am sure you will be much better than the Kishen Kanhaiya commentators. Look forward to more stuff from you .. keep it up!!!Cheers
I think it could be Sanjay Bangar/Sourashish Lahiri! Both these guys have nothing to lose. And they have been around in the domestic circuit for long to take this gamble.Nice blog mate! Stay safe!
Good job. I think you suspend the blog, keep your notes and then publish them after IPL for a price twice your KKR earnings.
omg lololololololoololololol @ Alan Smithee.
This blogs are definitely not written by any player of KKR because I don’t know any Indian player of KKR who has such excellent imagination, idea and language proficiency as evident in these blogs. The blogger might be a Bong NRI or a journalist who is an ardent fan of Ganguly. Keep it up friend, well done.
Lets not give him ideas Rajiv. its free for us right now. Book can be put together anyway!!How can you be real, You got a Macbook? If you were real you would be the only desi player in IPL currently who bought Macbook.lol!
I will not even worry about your identity. Whoever you be, stay safe and keep posting. I spent almost 3 hours in your blog today – and by far the best one I have enjoyed in many years! The nicknames are great. I still remain a KKR fan, but keeping Bengal Tiger at bay and playing the young home country man is just not fair. Will look forward to read more of your blogs!
We need more entries about the off field activities like the shenanigans at Opium, the almost fight on the plane, etc. That stuff is classic, definitely the most exciting part of the IPL. No one cares about the matches themselves.
Awesome Blog mate….plz reveal ur identity by the end of the season to us…righ tnow only guess i have is Sanjay Bangar
u r a ral fuckinf bustard….dnt u feel ashamed…………of saying such things..idioot,bloody full……
i think u really dnt deserve to be in the team….u idiot….u sud b laughing at urselv to b the the laughing stock 4 all the kkr
Hi Murali Karthik,Countdown starts before they find you. You already have revealed yourself as a senior Indian pro with a good command of English, experience writing for the media, with insider media contacts (narrows down the list of KKR players considerably, eh?) – and maybe the Indian brother connection, as well. You have also played in England. So, if all this fails to escape the notice, all its needs is SRK to call in his top cop contacts and track the IP addresses… your goose is cooked, pal. Better desist.best wishes,raja
i think you are laxmi ratan shukla.dats the only way u r misleading ppl
I am sure this is a start of a new trend and you are creating a revolution of sorts in your own way if u get what i mean
for the moment, i am in a fix… is this a PR stunt by KKR? More ppl will start watching the team intently from now on…
only man in the world who read pitch in laptop? You are fucking great man!

Hi, Thanks for sharing your training experience. It shows that your do a handwork for achieving the goals. Best of luck.
Houses and cars are not cheap and not everybody is able to buy it. However, mortgage loans are invented to aid different people in such kind of cases.
obviously like your web-site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will surely come again again.
