“Fake IPL player” lets out Knight Riders’ dressing room secrets

Ever heard of Lordie and the Phoren Babas? Or maybe you are familiar with the Coachie and Kan Moolo. What about Little John and Badshah D*&#o? Stumped! Well all of these characters are the part of a blog which exclusively focusses on SRK’s Kolkata Knight Riders. Apparently, it seems that most of the players in the team have pseudo-names assigned to them. The blog looks to provide the inside scoop on the KKR’s. And in the words of the anonymous blogger, it says,” I will be bringing to you the "aankhon dekha haal", right from inside the dressing room, meeting room and players' bedrooms ;-).”

Obviously now, the blog has come to be yet another headache for King Khan and the managers of his team. With the multiple-captaincy issue and the clash of egos between Brendon McCullum and Sourav Ganguly doing no good for the Kolkata Knight Riders, this controversial blog has only added to the team’s cup of woes. The blog writer calls himself ‘Fake IPL Player’ and his blog is chiefly aimed at taking pot-shots against the senior members, the coach and the support contingent.

The blogs has no qualms in calling SRK a megalomaniac and has named him Badshah D*&#o. Ganguly has been aptly coined as Lordie, the guy who is in constant altercation with the Badshah and the Coachie ( John Buchanan). The Phoren Babas point to the foreign support staff that the KKR team has in their camp.

Kan Moolo is apparently a reference to the former Indian fast bowler Ajit Agarkar. The blog has an exclusive post on the reasons why Agarkar got the boot. Sample this, “Coachie was explaining to him reasons for why he is being left out. Let me summarize Coachie’s 5-minute monologue to Kaan Moolo. He essentially said that Kaan Moolo has a bright future, he just needs to work on his game a little bit. Basically, all he needs to do is improve his bowling, batting and fielding. That’s it.”

The Fake IPL hits out at not only the KKR players but it also calls names to other top shot international cricketers. For instance, a former Aussie opener is quite audaciously called the Pedophile priest. The West Indian left-hand opening bat Chris Gayle is referred to as the Calypso King. Little John seems to be the lesser known Ashok Dinda. The writer of the blog has an interesting snippet about this fast bowler, “Little John skipped as it was optional training. I can understand it, he is after all a fast bowler and he def needed some time off after the "intense workout" he must have had last night.

The blog spares no one when it cites the infamous slap-gate from last year’s IPL between Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh, “Learnt a very interesting piece of news. Not sure if it's true or not. Apparently, Appam C@#$^*a wasn't slapped by Meera Bhai during last yr's tournament. He was crying because his team owner Babli hugged everyone after the match other than him.”

The posts on the blog are filled with jibes against all and sundry. The posts aspire to be sensational at every comma, semi-colon and full-stop. In fact the popularity of the site is swelling by the day. Given the growing number of users hitting the site, the KKR team management is in for another uncomfortable bouncer aimed straight at the rib-cage.
