Lets play Bezathi-Bezathi..
Best Player Rs. 700, Good Fielder - Rs. 500, Best Bowler - Rs. 400, Izzat - Priceless.
It's the same izzat that was at stake and what a story it turned out to be. The captain of a finalist team last year was shunned by his "very own" team and let out to the dogs...err...sorry the market. When the name was read out it was a moment everyone dreaded. The tension in the room Chicago Near North poring out from its doors and windows. Even the VC panel started to get moist. After 48 seconds of calling his name, the first bid was a mere Rs. 10 more than the base price. And post the fiasco in the IPL, this time owners thought he deserved well treatment even though his own franchise thought otherwise. There were exactly 2 more bids post which he was "sold" in this open market where izzat was traded like a dozen bananas in azadpur sabzi mandi.
In response to this, Betaal has threatened to grow beard in protest to his team leavin him out. he says he will scare the daylights out of them. Betaal, who finally struggled to turn 28 this jan(after so many years as a 16 year old), has had his first strand of facial hair, which he is carefully rearing as a goatie. only time will tell if it will grow into a beard. Till then lets wait and watch.
Some call him Betaal and some Chinese Chucker...but the smile stays intact...hats off to you sir!!!
