“I am very excited,” says Sushmita Sen. “I have never seen the game of cricket live except for our very own IPL matches. In that sense, my viewing of live 20-over matches is limited. So to watch epic batsmen, bowlers, fielders on the field will be very interesting to watch.
The format is interesting, avers Sushmita. “I would define T20 as instant gratification, the players have to get going from the first ball… hence makes the game very exciting. Also there will be an enormous crowd that will be brought in to support, and most of them will be women. Women understand cricket a lot these days.
Sushmita talks of Capricorn Commanders’ skipper Paul Collinwood with respect. “I am looking forward to watching the man who led England to three-time Ashes victory. To see him strategise on field and lead the team to victory would be very exciting.”
The other aspect of the series that excites Sushmita are the legends. “I think MCL is a fantastic idea. And I root for Capricorn Commanders as I believe in my friend Parvez Khan’s vision and the fact that when he says that the strength will be in the unity of world players who have been fantastic leaders and are legends in their own right. The aim is to win, and the first step is synergy.
“Nothing bonds like cricket. The sport has the amazing ability to bond an entire nation. And you route for favourite players, no matter which team they belong to. Each team manages to get its synergy growing.”
Adds she, “The matches will be exciting to watch, especially the first few games. Cricket of course in India is a religion, and I have seen the growth from broad formats to bring in 20-overs.
“I am also looking forward to see Saurav Ganguly who is the skipper of Libra Legends and Virendra Sehwag in action as well.”
Sushmita Sen looks forward to her Dubai trip to support Capricorn Commanders. “Parvez Khan is a great friend, and Sohail Khan and artist Rouble Nagi… my friends will be there at the as well. If you ask me to define Capricorn Commanders in a word, Capricorn Commanders is Fateh!” she concludes.
