White Mischief girls to cheer Bangalore Royal Challengers in IPL T20 season 2 1

Posted on April 14, 2009 by admin

Bangalore Royal Challengers always makes sure that they have some of the best cheerleaders to cheer the team. Last year Bangalore Royal Challengers owner and business tycoon Vijay Mallya had got the Washington Red Skins cheerleaders to cheer for the team. There were some conservative groups last year who protested the girls wearing skimpy outfits while cheering for the team. But the flamboyant Mallya did not succumb to anybody and had the hot cheerleaders throughout the tournament though a few other franchisees changed the dress of the cheerleaders. Vijay Mallya has dropped the Red Skin cheerleaders this year and hired 24 members of the US-based Varsity cheerleader group and renamed them “White Mischief Gals”. The girls have been named after his brand of vodka named “White Mischief”. According to the Mallya Company’s release the girls are “specially trained in flirty acrobatic skills for a scintillating on-field performance”. According to the release the White Mischief girls are “a little bit naughty, a little more hottie and a lot more mischievous”. Hope that the girls can motivate Kevin Pietersen and his team. Meanwhile Vijay Mallya will not be able to cheer his team from the start and he will come a week later as he wants to watch his Formula One team, Force India, compete in the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

Here are two videos of the new White Mischief Gals

Bangalore Royal Challengers owner and one of India’s richest business tycoons Vijay Mallya said that he preferred England as the venue outside India. He said that the tournament would have drawn bigger crowds in England as compared to South Africa.

Mallya said

To be honest, I would have preferred England to South Africa.You could have taken just one flight from five or six cities in India to England and it would have been cheaper. Besides, an average Englishman loves his cricket and the stands there would have been full of spectators. But, I guess the weather conditions clinched the issue for South Africa

But if reports are to be believed, Mallya has also spotted opportunity in South Africa with the unexpected move. Mallya’s Bangalore Royal Challengers have six players of South African origin in their squad, including South Africa-born former England skipper Kevin Pietersen. Pietersen will also lead the team for a few matches before he returns back for county championship. The other South African players in his team include Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher, Dale Steyn, Roelof van der Merwe and Dillon du Preez.

Mallya is a clever businessman and maybe he will make profit out of IPL season 2.

Do you think the IPL franchisee owners will be able to make any significant profit this season.
