New Delhi, March 22 (IANS) The inimitable Lalu Prasad was at his humorous best yet again Sunday when he said the Indian cricketers would get an opportunity to play in different countries if the IPL matches are held abroad.

He told reporters, in his famous Bihari Hindi: 'My son also plays cricket and expects to play for the IPL. If he doesn't get a chance to play, he will at least have the opportunity to serve water to the players.'

The journos went into peels of laughter while the rustic Bihar veteran, as usual, made his remarks with a dead-pan face.
