Cricket and Bollywood are the two major religions in India, and the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL), a mixture of both, kick-started Season 2 in Sharjah on Jan 13. After a disastrous outing the last time round, Mumbai Heroes featuring our very own B-town stars began Season 2 in much better fashion. The match between Salman Khan's Mumbai Heroes led by Suniel Shetty and the Chennai Rhinos witnessed the Mumbai Heroes powering past the Rhinos by 23 runs. Incidentally, Chennai Rhinos were the winners of CCL last season.
Mumbai Heroes skipper Suniel Shetty won the toss and opted to bat first on a pitch that promised a cracker a match for those present at the picturesque stadium in Stadium.
Raja was the top scorer with a swashbuckling half-century and he was well-supported by Aftab Shivdasani who made a valuable 26. The duo ensured that Mumbai Heroes set a stiff target of 148 for the team from Chennai film industry. However, Chennai Rhinos found it too much of a target to chase and eventually lost the match.
During the post-match presentation ceremony, Salman was presented with a special memorabilia which was a bat signed by Pakistan team that played the 200th ODI at Sharjah against Sri Lanka in November last year.
