Already the cheerleaders are causing heads to turn(or rather bend down and look up), distract batsmen, increasing stampedes near their place on the field.

Shobhaa De has written this hilarious article – Cheerleader’s diary.

I must say i couldn’t stop laughing …

Here are some excerpts

…Gee… I am like totally weirded out by this whole India gig. Like these Indians are majorly weird! Especially that minister dude from Mumbai who wants to ban us from shaking our pom poms. Come on, man. Chill out. It’s really hot out there. Like 40 degrees C, okay? What do you want us gals to wear? Eskimo suits? Oh oh, I get it — we are the ones getting the heat up, right baby? That’s our job, honey! We get paid for it. Ask that cutie with the big mama earstuds who hired us — Veejay. The bigger, the better, he said. We thought he was referring to the crowds in the stadium…

…Especially those handsome hunks with ponytails who are on the field playing some bizarro game that’s not half as much fun as baseball or soccer. We were told it’s called ‘Cricket’. What a cute name! I always thought cricket was an insect!…

…Occasionally, they also watch the game, especially when that funny umpire is dancing and prancing behind three sticks. The teams are like Russian salad, with players of all hues mixed up in the bowl. Our job is easy — we cheer for the boss’ team….

…Of course, there are some gross guys who ask us to bend forward for a better shot, but we aren’t stooopid. We turn around and show our fannies instead. Pretty smart, huh?…

….Indian chicks are way out wild, try clubbing with them… their moves would give pole dancers a complex. Maybe that minister dude should party with locals and scope the scene for himself…. night riding, anyone? We luv our groovy work and groovy undies errr, costumes….

ROTFLOL…

But have to agree they are Hot :
