Who Are You Supporting?

The stadium is set.
The bets have been placed.
The players are ready.
The fans have made their choice.
It's the 5th of may. In the world around, it might be just another day, but in the world of IPL 2012, it's more like the judgement day. Yes, it's Pune Warriors(PW) vs Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR).

Everywhere, the IPL fever is at it's peak, with fans flocking to the stadium to cheer their favourite teams, and cricket maniacs being glued to the television with jittery nerves. Having completed a month, it's almost clear which of the teams will be making it to the playoffs. But there are two teams in particular who've been under the spotlight since the very beginning of this IPL season: PW and KKR. The reason, like EVERYBODY knows, is cause Kolkata's heart and spirit i.e SOURAV GANGULY aka Dada being in PW and not KKR.
Ever since Dada has been placed in PW, it has given birth to a dilemma among the people of Kolkata: whether to support their city or their forever favourite Dada, and since then, Kolkata has been divided. Debates, discussions and arguments have accompanied every gathering and adda, regarding this topic.
Pune Warriors started the season exceptionally well, thanks to Dada's brilliant captaincy and good team effort, but their performance dwindled in the past few matches. On the other hand, KKR's graph has been pretty impressive, and they stand quite a good chance of making it to the playoffs.
While the devotees of Dada have religiously been supporting PW, (for example, My Dad. He's the CRAZIEST Cricket fan you'll ever come across, and his devotion, love and respect for Dada knows no bounds.) there are yet others (like me, though I definitely have a predilection towards Dada. Duh!) whose love for their city is a tad more than their adoration for Dada. Not that they don't love him. That can NEVER be the case.

Though oodles of different interpretations can be made regarding this situation, I personally feel Cricket is a matter of choice and favourites. So, each individual is free to support his/her favourite team, irrespective of any factor.
Meanwhile, today's match is surely going to be THE match of this IPL season. I'm sure zillions of fans are counting each and every second, dying to watch the clash between Dada and SRK, or rather Kolkata and SRK (Not to forget the owner of PW is a Bengali; how ironic could it get!)

Let's hope this match is full of fun and exhilaration (which it will definitely be!). I hope it ends up in a tie, that

will be quite some fun! xD

So, enjoy tomorrow's match, you all. :)
