Actor Saiyami Kher, in her personal phrases, has been “obsessed” with cricket ever since she was seven, and no surprise, she is hooked to the continued version of Indian Premiere League (IPL). “This would be 16th year of [watching] IPL and I have always been a big supporter of Mumbai Indians because Sachin Tendulkar played for the team. I have always been his fan,” says Kher, including, “I remember how school’s summer vacations were pretty much about running back to watch Sachin playing cricket . The way I learned how to play the game is by watching him bat.”
The Breathe: Into The Shadows actor was a lot in love with the game that she went on to type her personal staff. “I am from a small town Nasik. So there were no formal training for the cricket lovers like me. But to play the sport, I gathered 11 of my friends and we made a women’s team. We would bunk classes and to practice also to teach the team how to play. That’s how, we ended up winning the Maharashtra tournament,” shares Kher, who has performed for the Maharashtra state cricket staff as a quick bowler.
But this yr, Kher will probably be supporting one other staff and Sachin not performs. “I am rooting for Chennai Super Kings because everyone has been saying it’s MS Dhoni’s last year. But if not them, I really want Royal Challengers Bangalore to win because I feel it’s high time that Virat Kohli get the IPL title under his belt. So, it’s between Chennai and Bangalore for me.”
Ask her if she is planning to go all the way in which to a stadium and watch a dwell match, Kher tells us is has been like a ritual. “I always watch some match or the other, expect during the Covid. This year again, I am going to go watch at least one live game. I haven’t decided which one as yet. In fact, going to stadium to watch IPL matches has been like a picnic for me and my friends and hence there have been a lot of IPL memories that I cherish,” indicators off the actor, who will probably be seen taking part in a cricketer onscreen in R Balki’s Ghoomer.
