“The ingredients in the success of IPL were that it provided ample after-work entertainment, made for TV-centric family entertainment and saw the
participation of foreign players and film stars. The irony, Krishnamachar said, was that 30,000 Indians were cheering for Pakistani bowler, Mohammed Asif
in Delhi, but this also defined the success of IPL.”

Why Mumbai Indians?
I am a huge Shahrukh Khan fan. So KKR were my first favorites. But when the games started I realized that there is nothing like seeing your home team win. Also, everyone around me was cheering for Mumbai Indians so its very difficult to ignore your team. Thirdly when Sachin came back then obviously you can’t help but cheer for him.

IN SEARCH OF THIS ATTITUDE…
Our Approach
A strong attitude that emerges from our roots & can pan across
Starting from our roots (Hyderabad):Seeking an appeal for across – India & the world
Hyderabad is a city that forever
mixes cultures, cuisines, religions
and languages. Here, Persian turned
alloy with Telugu, Marathi and
Arabic to yield a special version of
Urdu, Dakhini. And here, as Andhra
mingled with Telangana, a smiling
mildness has survived, disarming at
every turn, just as
grace under
pressure.
Understated & muted
Hence, NEEDS to be given AN EDGE
(which again is rooted in Hyderabad)
(too soft) not enough to instigate people & stir up passions
Grace under pressure
What is new (young) Hyderabad like?
In search of this edge…
Looking for this edge in:
Nagesh Kukunoor
Indian School of Business
The IT industry
Sania Mirza
Short Films
IT industry
Westernization
Competitiveness seeping in
aggression
Easy going & staying calm + New found aggression =
Dil pe mat le, haath mein lemaaro mat…adab se maaro
the new Hydrabadi attitude (andaaz)…
= stay cool & win
THIS HYDERABADI ATTITUDE SEEMS TO BE SEEN IN THEIR CRICKET AS WELL…

That’s when Gilchrist was sent in to bat at number 3
There could’ve been a zillion thoughts in his head…
How many people will I disappoint if I
fail…
3 days to go, hardly any runs
and only 8 wickets in hand…
We’re losing terribly…
Wonder what my family is doing… would they be
watching?
I’m tired after the wicket keeping… my hand hurts…
I’ve never played at
number 3 like this…
But…

Gibbs walks to the crease…
There could’ve been a zillion thoughts in his head…I know the fielder at
slip is trying to distract me… I can’t
be distracted…
We can’t lose to the Aussies again that too on our home ground
It’s the only chance to win
this series… and no one thinks we
can
The controversy having tarnished my image… don’t
know what people may say if we lose

I may be out of the next series if I

But Man U never really managed to threaten a calm and composed Milan defense nor did they manage to test Milan's out-of-form keeper Dida.
Championship League ’07 – Finals
To Milan's credit, they never panicked at the back when they were under siege, they were as cool, calm, and composed as you would expect them to be.
He is an extremely calm and composed boy who is never prone to either euphoria or
depression," says his coach at AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti.

US Open, 7th Sept’96 – Quarter FinalsAlex Corretja v/s Pete Sampras
Pete Sampras resumes his show and goes on to play the longest match in the tournament and emerge a winner, qualifying for the semi-finals.
‘Pete Sampras handles himself in a way that can only be described as gentlemanly and reserved. He goes on the court to win a match, not to impress the crowds. He enters tournaments to win them. And when he wins them, as he so often does, his posture gets a little straighter, his eyes get a little brighter and a shy, timid smile of pleasure spreads across his face. It is a truly beautiful moment to watch history be made.’ (Written: Year 2000) - Sally Turkovich (Pittsburgh, PA, USA)
