Oh, is he the lad that belted Yuvraj for five sixes in five balls at the Oval last year?
According to Steve James of The Telegraph, he just might be the bargain of the season at a lowly $ 100, 000. Shane Warne reckons the lad can walk into any Twenty20 side in the world, or is he trying to make himself feel better about the quality, or lack of it in his Rajasthan Royals side. Read it here.
But maybe, it's all Shane Warne's doing. With a relatively weak side, here is his shot to literally live his captaincy dream he nurtured before sex and dope gave it away to Ricky Ponting, and more so, be unopposed in his cult status.
Warne and his Australian team taught Graeme Smith to keep his mouth shut during the last few South African tours down under. If it stays that way, we are in for a summer with Warney on the headlines. Unopposed. We aren't complaining, are we?
Back to Mascarenhas. James writes "He's thoroughly modern, twenty20-prototype cricketer. he biffs the bowl miles, bowl canny medium pace with excellent variations and fields athletically."
But what his employers, Emerging Media who bought Rajasthan Royals for $ 67 Million, have got for a 100, 000 is actually a possible Chris Gayle- kind figure, complete with gleaming earrings and a quirky accent. A Possible badass.
And as Shahrukh keeps his fingers crossed for Shoaib Akhtar, he would tell you a badass for a 100, 000 and no legal hassles is a bargain in the world of IPL.
