Dimag Ki League

Mr Kapil Dev- The man who has inspired generations of cricketers all over the world is back with a bang with a new venture. To make his debut in the digital world, he chose the popular medium which has seen its fair share of high profile controversies. The past couple of days have seen twitterati  abuzz with a new league that our nations very own cricket legend is promoting.  With an attention grabbing title “EkNayiLeague”, the legendary cricketer has made twitter trend with his question asking people to guess what his new league is all about.

To give you a sneak peak and aid you in the guessing game there are a about five you tube videos that are quickly hitting the popular charts in you tube. In all of these five videos Kapil Dev is seen talking about celebrities whether it is players from the world of sports like Sania Mirza and Yuvraj Singh or India’s most loved comedian by the same first name- Kapil Sharma. In all of the videos he is seen appreciating the passion or dedication emanating from the heart of all these inspirational people. He mentions the humble backgrounds some of them started out with and the struggles they had to face along the way, yet all the dedication they put in through their hearts, they were able to overcome all odds and emerge successful. An interesting twist to these ads is when Mr. Kapil Dev talks about the fact that to win in his new league the players will be set up for failure if they play with their hearts. To quote him “Googly ho jayeji agar dil sey khela”, he says. Even the banner ads everywhere show him pointing to his head pondering something.

In one of the ads he also mentions about the huge amount of money celebrities make and how all of this has been achieved by their dil. He talks about the opportunities available in today’s world and how anyone can make it big. So with all these tell-tale clues, it’s time for me to take my guess about what this “EkNayiLeague” could be all about. I’m listing the clues down quickly in a few words or more for a summary to aid my thinking process- Dimag, make money, no dil, league or a gaming format.

Okay so here goes my guessing shot- A new game show based on TV, or maybe online who knows for if it had been on TV wouldn’t there have been advertisements on TV talking about the launch of a new show? Then it means it has to be narrowed down to the online platform only. So one thing I’m sure of that since it’s a league, there is going to be a game of some sort. I think we’ve talked enough about how to play it to win big. Use your “DIMAG” or brains since this league is all about getting your grey cells to tick. And since Kapil Dev talked about how everyone should have opportunities in our country, maybe this game will allow people to make it big by winning if they apply their brains correctly.

As I write this article, a little birdie tells me that new league has already been unveiled by the super star cricketer.  Check it out here.
