'IPL' delivered two more babies recently and doctor Modi have said no more babies for the next seven years.
Well, even as the babies (different fathers) are yet to open their eyes and the world awaits their 'Naming Ceremony', it has raised quite a lot of concerns in the heart of the IPL aficionados.
Shakespeare might have said, "what's in a name?". Reality is it remains the first indication as how a team fares.
If we look at history, Rajasthan named themselves 'Royals' and so they were crowned in the first edition. Although Punjab got the hint they lost the plot naming 'XI Kings'. Ditto is the case with Chennai, who over did it by adding a Super, hoping to get a super-duper result, only to falter time and again.
Going by the same logic, one might challenge the downfall of the Royals in South Africa but one has to consider that Royals in India doesn't guarantee you the crown in a foreign country. No doubt, Modi hurriedly brought the IPL back to India.
To win in another country, you need to have challenging capability, you need to have the audacity to charge, to display some daredevilry, which brings us to the success of teams like Royal 'Challengers', Deccan 'Chargers' and Delhi 'Daredevils' in South Africa.
So now that he is one of the proud father of one of the babies, the onus is on Subroto Roy to name his kid properly.
Considering Sahara's pioneering efforts with the Indian cricket team, He might name it as 'Pune Pioneers' or 'Pune Paragons'.
I am not too sure about his obsession towards animals but if he had one or still has one, Roy might go for 'Pune Panthers' (speed is the key here) or 'Pune Porcupines' (no one can lock horns with them) or if he wants his members to have a permanent purple patch then the name can be 'Pune Purple martens'.
Knowing his business acumen, Roy can also go for a name which reflects the things he deals in. In that case, 'Pune Pilots' (keeping in mind his aviation industry) could be an option or may be 'Pune propellers'. What say?

Crammed Parthiv runs in haste to the point of no return and falls short of by inches, blame it on his
height....Hayden keeps the spectators in a tizzy with his mongoose plundering boundaries....but
Subramanium lulls them to sleep once again...so much so that even the cheerleaders decides to take a
break....but when there is Hadyen in their side...situation can never be tight (was just trying to be
funny)......bhatia brought in ....a silent first ball....followed by two huge sixes....brings the cheergirls back
on their feet and spectators eyes pop out....subramanum still finding it tough to clear the
infield....sangwan looking like Sunil shetty with his beefy muscles, charging in but bowls
wayward...second ball hayden does a Parthiv.....but thaks to his height he is safe which pours cold water
on Dlhi's premature celebration....Subramanuim wakes up from his Rip Van winkle dream, slogs one over
the bowler's head......Bhatia's mauling brings yadav in his place........he starts with a wide ball......te next
one would have been no different if only Hayden had not cut it to the backward cover for a single.....subhu
then repeats the shot for a boundary.....Subhu gets struck by a Yadav delivery....he is having a torrid IPL
....last match, he had a collision with Dhoni...and in this match he gets struck....I hope he has his
insurance ready......poor fellow...pulls the next ball straight to Amit Mishra.....that brings shoehorned
captain Raina into the crease and Dilshan on the bowling end....Hayden's welcomes Dilhan with three
sixes to complete his half century......(can't blame Dilshan...being a foreign recruit he just wanted to
contribute, if not with the bat, with the ball...its just that every dog has his day and this is Hayden's day
and not Dilshan's day so he ended up conceding 21 runs in his first and perhaps only over)....
Hayden gives respect to Yadav, Raina also keeps mum....prompting, karthik to bring in Bhatia....Hayden
sends him again blazing along the carpet.....and then over the mid-wicket area....Raina develops a sense
of lagging behind...so he launches a Sangwan out of park....but Hayden is not someone, who would allow
someone else to take the edge...what he does...he just plunders one over the cover area and the another
one blazing the greens in the same area.....hopefulless Mishra is asked to stop the Hayden juggernaut....but the bulky opener just heaves him over the midwicket...scared he pushes the ball down the offside......
