Funny Game – Sachin’s Bat

Hey All. Good morning / good afternoon / good evening. Please feel free to take any one of the above depending on when you decide on reading this post.

Disclaimer: This post is mostly fictional and is my attempt to write something sarcastically funny.

Yet another season of IPL (Indian People’s league as quoted by the estranged Latit Modi) passes by. Following are the observations which I made on the season three of IPL.

Sachin’s Bat

It is somehow proved that Sachin Tendulkar is second only to the monsoons when it comes to cricket in India. It has also been agreed by everyone that there is something magical about Sachin. This has been further validated when Harbhajan Singh claimed after his valiant knock against the Deccan Chargers that it was Sachin’s bat that did the trick.

Although this was seen as a one off odd incident, it was taken very seriously by a few.

Andrew Symonds was quick to remark that next time around he will start sledging Sachin’s bat.

Shane Warne in one of his s.m.s. which he accidently messaged to Ravi Shastri said that the nightmares-of-sachin quip was not true. But he did admit that he was scared about Sachin’s bat.

Patrick Pavanasam, a die hard Sachin fan, was very vehement in his protest. He spoke thus to the evening news “This is not the first time someone uses Sachin’s bat to claim fame.” He them went on to narrate a story in which a guy used a stolen bat of Sachin to woo his lady love. He added that “It’s a pity that Sachin has to go through such torture. but not for long. I am raising a petition with the ICC demanding that the runs that are scored with Sachin’s bat be added to Sachin’s run tally. Once the petition is cosidered all Sachin fans will be relieved and there will be rain in India during the summers”.

While poor Patrick was voicing his concerns, BCCI officials had other plans. They shipped the Indian team to the Caribbean with truckloads of bats Sachin used. This was done to boost India’s chances at the T20 World-cup. While all this was happening a leaked email send from one BCCI official to another demanded that Harbhajan Singh be credited for innovating with Sachin’s bat. His contract salary was increased by ten percent. Shortly after this another email was leaked which suggested that Harbhajan has delayed in coming out with this revelation and hence he should be fined 10 percent of his contract salary.

Amazed by the news surrounded Sachin’s bat, Indian Sport Minister M.S. “who are you?” Gill suggested that Indian Hockey will be better off if they start using Sachin’s bat.
