“Fair & Handsome” faces bankruptcy as Gayle, Malinga shine in IPL
Mumbai. Fair & Handsome, the so-called “mardo waali cream”, might soon be out of business as it’s no longer deemed effective, Faking News has learned. The fairness cream for men has failed to impress the youth after cricketers Chris Gayle and Lasith Malinga, both with dark skin color, proved to be the best cricketers in the fourth season of IPL, with Gayle winning the “orange cap” and Malinga bagging the “purple cap”.
“We are afraid that Indian men finally might want to look like them; after all both of them pickedplaying for an Indian professional league over their own respective countries,” Emami CEO Gaurav Gorabankar told Faking News, conceding that his deepest fear was Indian masses no longer being embarrassed with dark skin color.
The message won’t work anymore?
His fears are backed with data as the fairness cream recorded a decrease in the rate of sales with the increase in the number of runs and wickets amassed by both the players in IPL-4.
“This trend might continue as India plays West Indies next; even Ravi Rampaul is not exactly fair,” the CEO rued.
Chairman of ICCF (Indian Consumer Complaints Forum) under the banner of “jaago gharak jaago” also agreed that the success of Gayle and Malinga would surely affect the overall thinking of Indian customers.
“People are slowly becoming aware that using deodorants, creams, shaving gel, soft drinks, etc. cannot change anyone’s fortune except the stars who are endorsing it,” ICCF Chairman opined.
In fact, the success of the duo is impacting other products as well. Shareudiin, a stock broker, revealed that the share-price of a combs manufacturing company also recorded loss as investors felt that consumers could stop using company’s products to get dreadlocks like Gayle and Malinga.
But the corporate sector and marketing managers are not wholly disappointed and see a silver lining in the clouds. Sources suggest that companies selling hair oil, health capsules, and energy drinks are in the race to get their products endorsed by either of the new stars with “interesting” hairstyles.
Apparently, Navratan Tel, the hair oil brand, is planning to come up with an advertisement where a fair skinned bowler would apply the oil on his head for “cooling effect” after facing heat of Gayle on the pitch.
Meanwhile Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shahrukh Khan, who endorses “Fair & Handsome” cream, has refused to comment if his endorsement was the reason why Chris Gayle was not performing as brilliantly when he played for KKR.

Rival IPL team to get one over of Chris Gayle batting
Mumbai. After what Chris Gayle did to Pune in Bangalore , BCCI has decided to make IPL an evenly contested tournament and give level playing field to the rival team by giving one over of batting by Gayle.
“The rival team will bat only for 19 overs and the last over – we are calling it the Gayle Equalizer – will be given to Chris Gayle so that some respect and sense is retained in the final scorecard,” IPL chief Rajiv Shukla announced.
Gayle could also be asked to give some smiles to the bowlers of the rival team to distribute smiles evenly
Sources confirm that the Gayle Equalizer has been introduced so that IPL doesn’t come under the scanner of the Competition Commission of India as Gayle’s batting makes a mockery of a healthy competition.
“There was a lurking danger that IPL could be dragged to the courts for monopolistic and restrictive trade policies that arise due to Gayle’s batting. IPL didn’t want another government body running for its neck after receiving income tax notices,” a BCCI source revealed.
However, experts believe that all this is a smokescreen and BCCI has introduced this new feature for making IPL more attractive and lucrative.
“All this talk of restrictive and monopolistic trade practice is bullshit,” a corporate affairs expert claimed, “Chris Gayle’s acts could be either termed ‘Act of
Sir Jadeja Sachin God’ or ‘Force Majeure’ such as
GayleStorm gale storms, for which no legal liability can be imposed.
“People will die to see an extra over of Gayle’s batting and this will only push up IPL’s TV ratings,” the expert further claimed, “And they will surely earn extra by selling sponsorship rights for theGayle Equalizer; electronics company GE will be approached I guess.”
Experts predict that this is just the beginning and IPL may introduce a mandatory over of Gayle’s batting in each and every IPL match, so that the West Indian batsman’s full potential is realized before he turns 40 or decides to retire.
RCB cheerleaders demand higher pay when Chris Gayle is batting
Bangalore: As if pressure from Kingfisher employees to release their pending salaries was not enough, Vijay Mallya has received another jolt today when RCB cheerleaders threatened to go on an indefinite strike if their demand of increased pay when Chris Gayle is batting is not met.
The cheerleaders have cited extreme work pressure and danger to their lives when Chris Gayle is batting as the prime reason for demanding a hike.
Mallya Sr went into a state of mental delirium after this fresh demand related to salaries.
“For the viewers it is a treat, but for us it is the most stressful period when he is batting. We have to be on our toes (literally) for the entire duration Gayle is on crease. Leave alone sitting , we cant even go to washroom when he is batting. In fact, we recently entered Guinness Book of world record for dancing continuously for 1 hour because the beast was just not in a mood to get out. In addition to this, we have to constantly watch out for the balls, he so mercilessly hits. We have started fearing for our lives after few of us had to be hospitalized after being hit by one such shot,” said a tired looking cheerleader
Team Manager of RCB Mr Avinash Vaidya has termed these demands ridiculous: “This is an absolutely atrocious demand. Agreed they have to do their extra bit of work when Chris is batting, but they also enjoy more than their share of rest and free time when Dilshan and Saurabh Tiwary are on the crease. So it obviously gets balanced out. If they persist with demands we will have to ask them to return the salaries they get when the rest of RCB is batting.”
Sidhartha Mallya, Director RCB chose not to respond to these demands on air but vented out his feelings on his favorite social networking site Twitter.
“Been getting threats from Cheerleaders. Not too sure who they are, dancer of some sorts?? But it seems something has upset them,” Sidhartha Mallya tweeted before tweeting, “There are always two sides to a story. Pipe down love.”
Realizing the gravity of the situation, even Bangalore Police has made it mandatory for everyone inside Chinnaswamy stadium (except Gayle) to wear helmets or else be ready to be heavily penalized.
Meanwhile Vijay Mallya has asked Virat Kohli if he can cajole cheerleaders into taking back their demands by using his Celkon Mobile.
Indian Tourism signs Sir Ravindra Jadeja, changes tagline to “Incredible Incredible India”
New Delhi: In a move to boost India’s tourism and travel commerce, the Ministry of Indian Tourism has signed Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja as its brand ambassador. The Ministry is also trying to cash in on his popularity by renaming its advertising tagline from “Incredible India” to “Incredible Incredible India”. Mr. Neeraj Chakravarty, Information Officer, Ministry of Tourism made this announcement in New Delhi today.
“After considering a lot of choices, we have zeroed in on Ravindra Jadeja to endorse the Indian tourism. The man is a very popular face in India and overseas, thus making him an obvious choice.” said Mr. Chakravarty. He added that they had shot a few promotional posters with him already and a full length promotional video will be shot once the cricketer has some free dates post IPL.
 |
| The new promotional poster for “Incredible Incredible India”Speaking on the tagline change, Mr. Chakravarty said, “Incredible India did work well for a while. But now it seems to have lost its charm. There has been a decline in international visitors. Hence we added another Incredible to the slogan. Plus Jadeja being in the campaign justifies an extraIncredible.” He also pointed out that this decline was not at all related to the recently reported incidents of foreign women getting raped in India. “That was because they wear short skimpy clothes here. Ab maidan khula pada ho, toh aadmi cricket khelne toh aayega hi na. (sic)” laughed Mr. Chakravarty with a senseless gleam of masculinity (doubtful) shining in his eyes. |
Mr. Vishal Joshi, representative for Mogilvy, the ad agency who will be shooting the tourism ad with Jadeja, said that the concept for the video is spectacular. “It starts with Ravindra playing gully cricket in some part of the country. He’s bowling, he starts with his over. The ball bounces thrice, conveniently goes off the pitch and boom, lands in another state, erm.. say Kerala. Jadeja discovers the beauty of the state when he comes to get the ball. Same continues to happen. And with all these No Balls, the over never gets done.”
Vishal rubbished the fact that this idea was inspired from Ravindra’s delivery at the 2012 India-England Test match. He said, “This is a government project. The Indian government would never do anything to taint some person’s image to keep its self-image clean.”
The ad agency, in its information that was made public, mentioned that it has signed a deal of Rs. 5 crores with the government citing that this is the amount that would be needed for the entire project. The PR agency for Ravindra Jadeja has informed the media that since its a project for the country, the cricketer has not charged a single rupee for the endorsement. However, inside sources reveal that the Tourism Ministry has been allotted Rs. 60 crores for the project by the government. Nobody from the government or the Tourism Dept. was available to comment on these numbers not adding up.
Expectations ride high on Jadeja’s shoulders as he will again try to make India proud by playing its Tourism ambassador. Rumour has it that Malaysian government is also trying to make some profit of Sir’s popularity by placing signs of “Sir was here” at all places Jadeja visited when he played the U-19 Cricket World Cup in Malaysia in 2008.
THIS IS JUST A WORK OF FICTION AND NOT REAL,JUST FOR FUN
KXIP vs KKR: Kings XI Punjab beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 runs in a thriller
Gautam Gambhir stupendous batting and Sunil Narine's splendid hat-trick went in-vain as Kings XI Punjab made a miraculous comeback to stun defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders by four runs in a thrilling Pepsi Indian Premier League encounter on Tuesday.
Scorecard | Match in Pics
Chasing a decent target of 158, KKR managed 153 for nine in the end despite a 105-run second wicket partnership between Gambhir (60, 39 balls, 8x4) and Eoin Morgan (47, 38 balls, 6x4).
This is Kings XI's second win from four matches while KKR's woeful away record continued as they have now lost their third game on the road.
From a comfortable 106 for two in 13 overs, KKR batsmen required only 52 off 42 balls but once the two set batsmen were out in quick succession, things changed rapidly.
Manoj Tiwary (1, 7 balls) and 'Million Dollar' man Yusuf Pathan (13, 16 balls) wasted 14 deliveries in between them as Manpreet Gony (1/18 in 4 overs) and Azhar Mahmood (3/21 in 4 overs) bowled brilliantly to get the home team back in the match.
Needing 11 runs off the final over, Adam Gilchrist saved what would have been 5 wides of the first delivery from Praveen Kumar. Praveen (2/26) kept his cool as he first removed Yusuf out of the equation and gave away only six runs to bring cheer for the home team.
Only KKR players could blame themselves for this shock defeat as they committed harakiri towards the end.
Rajat Bhatia (16) tried his best with a couple of sixes but that certainly wasn't enough in the end.
Gony, playing his first game of the cash-rich league certainly made a big impact in the final outcome of the encounter.
First his long-handle came to good effect as his 42 off 18 balls took Kings XI past 150-run mark which had looked improbable when they were tottering at 99 for six. Later, he removed a set Gambhir to bring KKR back in the match and also bowled consistently during his four-over spell.
The highlight during the first part of the match was Narine's hat-trick before Gony arrived to change the equations of the match.
Vindicating skipper Gautam Gambhir's decision to field first, Narine (3/33) along with Sri Lankan Sachitra Senanayake (2/28) bamboozled the Kings XI batsmen with their variations before Gony (42, 18 balls) thrashed the West Indian for 23 runs in the penultimate over to bring home team back in the match.
Narine achieved the landmark with his last three deliveries of the 15th over of the innings. First, he bowled a fast off-break that David Hussey (12) found very little room to play the cut-shot.
Veteran Azhar Mahmood (0) closed his bat face off the very next delivery as the leading edge looped up for the bowler to complete an easy return catch.
The 'hat-trick delivery' was easily the best of the lot as domestic batsman Gurkeerat Singh (0) had absolutely no clue about the delivery that turned the other way to peg the off-stump back. The Punjab youngster played for the turn and was foxed in the process.
Gony came in with Kings XI tottering at 99 for six and it soon became 109 for seven with David Miller (20) back in the dug-out. However the big-bodied Gony unleashed some booming shots as KKR bowlers went for 41 runs in 3.1 overs.
The former India pacer hit four boundaries and three huge sixes including two fours and two sixes in Narine's final over.
Earlier, Kings XI captain Adam Gilchrist's (7) woeful form in the current edition continued as Senanayake trapped him leg before with a straighter one in his very first over, which was the fourth of the innings. The score was 24 at that time.
Pint-sized Mandeep Singh (41, 30 balls 6x4) and young Manan Vohra (17) however negotiated the KKR bowlers confidently adding 37 runs for the second wicket before both were out in quick succession.

Sunil Narine claims first hat-trick of IPL-6
Kolkata Knight Riders off-spinner Sunil Narine on Tuesday claimed the first hat-trick of this IPL season against Kings XI Punjab at the PCA Stadium.
This was the 10th hat-trick of the IPL till now. Narine claimed the wickets of David Hussey, Azhar Mahmood and Gurkeerat Singh in his three successive deliveries of his second over to leave KXIP reeling at 99 for six in the 15th over.
Australian Hussey went for the cut but the ball bounced more than expected and he got a thick edge. It went to wicketkeeper Manvinder Bisla, who pouched it on his second attempt.
Next ball, Azhar Mahmood offered one of the simplest catches to Narine off his own bowling and the 'mystery spinner' accepted it gleefully.
The third was a carrom ball. A flat delivery, pitched around the off stump, that drew Gurkeerat forward but spinned past his defence to knock off his off stump.
List of bowlers who have claimed hat-tricks so far in IPL:
1. Lakshmipathy Balaji (CSK) vs KXIP (2008) 2. Amit Mishra (DD) vc DC (2008) 3. Makhaya Ntini (CSK) vs KKR (2008) 4. Yuvraj Singh (KXIP) vs RCB (2009) 5. Rohit Sharma (DC) vs MI (2009) 6. Yuvraj Singh (KXIP) vs DC (2009) 7. Praveen Kumar (RCB) vs RR (2010) 8. Amit Mishra (DC) vs KXIP (2011) 9. Ajit Chandila (RR) vs PW (2012).

As Jadeja edged a cut to Ravi Rampaul at third man, RCB exulted unaware of umpire Anil Chaudhary signalling a no-ball — Singh had over-stepped.
A single having been completed, Jadeja and Chris Morris celebrated. RCB and its stunned skipper Virat Kohli could only gasp in disbelief after failing to break the CSK hoodoo at this ground again — it last beat the home team here in 2008.

Sir Ravindra Jadeja counsels Gambhir and Kohli to watch Himmatwala to resolve differences
The official spokesperson for the Sir Ravindra Jadeja society for world peace (SSRJSWP) has informed your reporter that Param Pujya Sri Sir Ravindra Jadeja (or Beeba as he is affectionately called by Suresh Raina and his nephew) is now mediating the ugly spat between the KKR Captain Gautam Gambhir and RCB Captain Virat Kohli. We bring you the true story from observers who were on the spot when it happened.
You may recall that in their recent face off between the two teams, tempers were high right from the toss. Kohli was clearing his throat using his regular expletives when Gautam got distracted and lost the toss. Further to this Gambhir was ambushed by the Extra Innings starlet Karishma for a quick chat before the first over where she asked him questions like “How do you feel after losing the toss?”, “What would you have done differently?” & “Can you give me Shah Rukh Khan’s phone number? Please?” Thankfully Rameez Raja intervened in time to pull her away (Again) and explain that they would still play cricket even though the toss was lost.
This was however just the beginning. All the while Gambhir was on strike, the RCB team kept chanting “Have you made it large?” every time he missed a stroke. Kohli himself used to walk up right into Gambhir’s helmet and chant “Pe Pe Pe Pe Pe Pe Pe ALIVE IS AWESOME” while making retarded-like faces at him. However he claims that this was part of his contract agreement with the Deo brand that he is endorsing, and that Kolkata is a key market for the brand.
This constant distraction came to a conclusion when One-match-Death-Over-Bowling-Expert Vinay Kumar managed to scalp Gambhir’s wicket. The team was seen dancing like crazy imitating the latest Gangnam dance moves with Chris Gayle. This was more than Gambhir could stand, given his recent non selection in Nach Baliye.
When it was RCB’s turn to bat, Karishma was seen cornering Kohli for a few questions which included “What tips have you taken from Delhi team mate Gautam?”, “Are you single, can I have your phone number? At least your car’s plate number?” Thankfully Rameez was there again, to hit on her before she could continue to hit on Kohli.
RCB was doing well in spite of losing an early wicket, when Virat Kohli got caught in the deep. Gambhir, being from Delhi was quick to remind Kohli that he was apt for “Munch” ad – lots of noise and that he should get into his Liva and drive away to avoid further embarrassment. It was at this time, that Kohli decided to confront Gambhir. They charged at each other, swinging their hands in maddening circles (all in slow motion) and calling each other names like “Celkon Despo”, “Karbonn Keeda” etc.
Luckily, Rajat Bhatia thought someone was distributing Munch bars and came running in between them, by when the umpires had managed to pull the players from asking each other the inevitable question “Thu jaantha hai mera baap kaun hai?” (Do you know who my father is?).The match carried on and Chris Gayle RCB won comfortably.
Param Pujya Sri Sir Ravindra Jadeja has taken both the players under his wing and has asked them to watch Himmatwala together to improve their perspective on how shitty things can really be. Inside reports available with your reporter also indicate that the BCCI is now interested in having these services extended to other players to resolve their issues – Harbhajan & Sreesanth. If they do manage to go through the entire movie together, they have been promised slots in the latest season of Nach Baliye.

Sehwag back in IPL
Sunrisers Hyderabad welcomed the return of Delhi Daredevils’s explosive opener Virender Sehwag to the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here Friday.
Sehwag missed the opening three matches of the Daredevils due to back spasms.
“Even though you are in the opposition, we missed you ),” Sunrisers said on the social networking site Twitter.
Sehwag’s absence has meant that the Daredevils have had a shaky start, losing all their matches.
Steyn Gun on FIRE
130 runs would have been close to impossible to get. Both teams bowled really well. Tonight was a game for the bowlers definitely. So hats off to both sides for fighting it out till the last over,” he said, in an interview withiplt20.com
“I didn’t really expect to bat but I think it was one of those wickets where it was always going to be a difficult chase,” he added.
Steyn was right on the money when he sent back Delhi opener David Warner in the first over.
“ It was nice to get a wicket early, to get somebody like David Warner who is a great player and he can take the game away from you, we know that and so it was nice to get a wicket. And the early same thing with [Mahela] Jayawardene and Viru [Virender Sehwag]; to get early wickets like that puts the [opposition] team on the back foot. If we hadn’t got those wickets they could have gone on to make 130 maybe 140 and I think it would been a really difficult score to try and get.”
Steyn also sounded upbeat about the current season, with a brand new name, jersey and ownership coming along. With three wins from four matches, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are sitting pretty at the second spot on the points table.
“You win one game with a lot of fighting spirit and then you win another one and there is a little bit of belief that creeps in. We lost the game the other night to RCB where I thought Virat (Kohli) batted particularly well. Then tonight again it was good all round performance, everybody contributed again we batted all the way down to No 9 and everyone went out there and did their part to win the game. So it’s been the strength of our side where everybody has contributed where they can to win a cricket game.”
Steyn, who spearheads the bowling attack, also spoke about what goes behind spacing his spell of four overs.
“It is difficult. You have to read the game a little bit and we don’t plan that I am going to bowl two upfront and then I am going to bowl one in the 15th or 18th over. There is no kind of real planning we just kind of have the idea that I am going to maybe bowl two over’s upfront and try and take a wicket, and then the next over’s really depends on whether the captain wants a wicket so I come back and bowl whether we want to try and defend at the death so. It all depends on the day,” he said.
Steyn also spoke of the confidence ahead of the game against the Delhi side despite losing their previous game to the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
“ The game for Delhi Daredevils, they have been a bit undercooked this season so we kind of knew that if we played our best cricket they would probably only give us about seventy percent competition. I think (the target of) 115, if we would have gotten a good start, it would have felt like only seventy runs for them on the board. But they fought well tonight. They are a good side. They really are a good side, they just haven’t clicked yet.”
On Friday night, Steyn’s services with the bat were required to take Sunrisers Hyderabad to the finish line. Talking about the situation and the pressure, he said, “There wasn’t really any pressure. You either going to win or you are going to lose so it’s one of the two things. I just want to put bat on ball and try and score the runs. Luckily we didn’t have to score more than six runs per over so it was really just bat on ball and it was really was just our game to lose.”
“I didn’t really expect to bat but I think it was one of those wickets where it was always going to be a difficult chase,” he added.
Steyn was right on the money when he sent back Delhi opener David Warner in the first over.
“ It was nice to get a wicket early, to get somebody like David Warner who is a great player and he can take the game away from you, we know that and so it was nice to get a wicket. And the early same thing with [Mahela] Jayawardene and Viru [Virender Sehwag]; to get early wickets like that puts the [opposition] team on the back foot. If we hadn’t got those wickets they could have gone on to make 130 maybe 140 and I think it would been a really difficult score to try and get.”
Steyn also sounded upbeat about the current season, with a brand new name, jersey and ownership coming along. With three wins from four matches, the Sunrisers Hyderabad are sitting pretty at the second spot on the points table.
“You win one game with a lot of fighting spirit and then you win another one and there is a little bit of belief that creeps in. We lost the game the other night to RCB where I thought Virat (Kohli) batted particularly well. Then tonight again it was good all round performance, everybody contributed again we batted all the way down to No 9 and everyone went out there and did their part to win the game. So it’s been the strength of our side where everybody has contributed where they can to win a cricket game.”
Steyn, who spearheads the bowling attack, also spoke about what goes behind spacing his spell of four overs.
“It is difficult. You have to read the game a little bit and we don’t plan that I am going to bowl two upfront and then I am going to bowl one in the 15th or 18th over. There is no kind of real planning we just kind of have the idea that I am going to maybe bowl two over’s upfront and try and take a wicket, and then the next over’s really depends on whether the captain wants a wicket so I come back and bowl whether we want to try and defend at the death so. It all depends on the day,” he said.
