IPL Cricket fever grips socialites

Cricket mania hit fever pitch at Secunderabad Club on Saturday evening. The scene under the floodlights at the club’s cricket ground was energetic and lively. Amidst pulsating music, members gathered together to compete against each other in a cricket knockout tournament.Eight teams with eight players in each battled it out for the top prize. The concept of the tournament was to encourage non-playing members to play and have fun while doing so. Chander Patny, Chairman of the the club’s game committee says, “The idea is to encourage members to participate in sports. From 16 years old to 60 years old, we had children, elders and ladies playing the matches. Women were a bit apprehensive as they did not know how to play. But when we asked people to sign up for the event, many members signed up voluntarily. The atmosphere is festive and everyone had a great time.
