It’s been a long day, its 11.45pm now… got on a flight in the morning from Cape Town to catch the 4pm match in Durban, was on a flight back after waiting around for 2hours at the stadium, unfortunately the match was rained out. Woke up all excited today, looking forward to play but the weather’s been playing truant. I’ve realized winning in this format of the game has a lot to do with luck as well. Sadly for KingsXI Punjab today scored and played well but Knight Riders won the match by the Duckworth Lewis calculation ‘cause it rained! Must mention it was really heartening to see the Durban fans come out in such huge numbers despite it being a weekday and to top it a cold and rainy one! But drenched fans still waited to see if the match would happen till the last minute. It just made me realize people’s love for the game; it was sad to see disappointed fans but amazed to see the turnout. We play on the 23rd next in Cape Town against the Knight Riders, that will be a difficult one, not the match but the emotion… its terrible to play against a friends team but all’s fair in Love and Cricket I guess :) Ha ha! Hope we have luck on our side this time, hope u RR supporters are praying and excited cause I sure am. Halla Bol!

    Shilpa,

    DO we ever get any revert/reply/response from your side. I think you dont care about your fans, you just care about money, IPl and cricket.

    You have made this blog to communicate with ur fans or just for publicity

    Hi,
    You must understand that due to my busy schedule it’s a bit difficult to reply to everyone’s comment.
    Take care.

    Dear Shilpa…
    Luck is not a matter… performance should be to win. 1st match of RR is bowling,
    fielding is good but bating is, u know that every player played in over confidence.
    This is not good…
    Well best of luck for Kolkota Knight Riders match.. I am a Fan of RR …
    Convey my wishes to Shene Warne.. and specially tell to asnodkar to perform well.
    We are a waiting to see his attacking bating..

    Take Care

    Shilpa,

    As any SMART person would understand…we know you are a very busy person and a true fan would never say that you only care about money or the IPL…and it makes me sad that people would say this…because…I always keep up with your blogs…and I can obviously tell that you have alot on your plate…i don’t feel that you should be forced to answer every single message that people send…it’s enough for me that you would put a blog and update it, so we could know how our favorite actress is doing…thank you for all the work you have done…Hope your team does well…but I’m a bit of Knight fan…but I wish you and SRK’s team the best in today’s match!!!

    Love,
    Tady v.

    Hello Ms Shilpa,
    See there is again Indians suffering from Racism. I want you on channels to raise your voice against this for Indian students. I myself is a victim of this in Germany . I request you because you have felt the hurt. As you are a star it will be highlighted. I have seen many stars but not you on channels. I was searching for you. If this doesn’t stop here it will go on.
    I pledge you for this.
    Looking forward for you on channel and news.
    Jai Hind.
