Now before you start wondering, who, what, where and why. Let me tell you that it’s just a wish! They say wishes come true, so we thought what if they do plan to shift to India! How would things change for them? Our first and foremost task would be to give them an Indian name for them to blend easily in the Indian culture. Players playing for a particular team would definitely have a flavour of the state in their names. This would only make them more popular within the team and city they belong to! So we quickly noted down some names of popular cricketers and rechristened them and indianized their names! Take a look at some:
Jean Paul Duminy (MI) – Jagan Pav Duminikar!
Sanath Jayasuriya (MI) – Sainath Jayasurwekar!
Kieron Pollard (MI) – Kiran Patil
AD De Villiers (DD) – AB Dilli waale!
