Since everyone is jumping in on this IPL craze, why should temples and priests be far behind? It seems a temple in Ranchi where Dhoni, the highest paid IPL cricketer regularly used to pray, wants a cut of Dhoni’s enormous Rs 6 Crore salary. The temple authorities think they had a large part to play in the recent auction, because they apparently performed some poojas to benefit the player.
I didn’t know you can increase your pay package by performing a pooja at a temple. Sign me up! Seriously though, these kinds of things are going to go on happening until the IPL figures out a way for the regular people (and priests) to get in on the moolah. I think it would be a good idea to take a team public and have an IPO. That way, loyal fans can put their money where their mouth is!
