KochiGeek - Geek'in' allday

Officials of the consortium that won the bid for the Kerala team in next year's Indian Premier League accept and are ready to deal with the challenge of getting quality players for their side which will play the 12-team next edition. A Pune team is the other new entrant.

Rendevouz Sports World Private Ltd (RSWPL)
Speaking for the consortium partners, P. T. Keshav, Chief Investment Officer, Skytracks Investments, Dubai and Investment Advisor of Harshad Mehta of the billion dollar Global Rosy Blue Group said: “We have entered the IPL at a curve wherein everything is up. The first eight franchises have had the advantage and after three years the IPL has proved itself that it's one of the top most sporting brands in the world. In business language that's valuable. We will have opportunities to select good players. We have long-term plans.”

The five major consortium partners are Anchor Earth with interests in electricals, FMCG and real estate, Film Waves, a company promoted by Harshad Mehta, Parinee Developers, involved in real estate and ship breaking industry, Vivek Venugopal of the Elite and Cholayil group of companies and Anand Shyam real estate, which is part of the Sur Gems group of companies.

I think Kochi IPL Team cheerleaders should be different than other teams. In my opinion Kochi IPL Team cheergirls should wear costume of mohiniyattam or kathakali rather than sexy cheergirls http://bit.ly/bm4TvO

Update Ended.
I have another humble request to owners of the Kochi IPL team. Also Pick a Nice Jersey design team to design our Jersey.

In My opinion Hyderrabad Deccan Chargers Jersey is the best one. One other suggestion is please don't pick blue as jersey colour. Blue is all around now. I think green would be nice because Kerala is full of green. If poosible use the green color like tender coconut :)


Meanwhile what about your suggestions my friends? Please comment!
