CCL-behind the scenes

The Mumbai Heroes v/s Chennai Rhinos CCL match held at DY Patil stadium, Navi Mumbai was an exciting one, more so because of the presence of superstar Salman Khan.

The South superstars from the Chennai Rhinos clearly dominated the Bollywood actors from the Mumbai Heroes team and were the clear winners. Mumbai however put up a good fight with Aftab Shivdasani enthralling the home crowd with a couple of fours and sixes. Aftab's fianc Nin Dusanj was seated with the rest of the team and cheered for him. Mumbai Heroes owner Sohail Khan kept cheering his team and at times even let out some expletives when they dropped catches, lost wickets or batted badly.
He was on his feet all the time watching his boys with an eagle's eye. Sister Arpita too was on her feet for most of the match as she cheered on. Bobby Deol, who later bowled for Mumbai made a happy family picture as he was seated with his wife and younger son Dharam seemed very excited.
The match began at 3 pm, however, the most exciting point came at 4.30 pm when Salman entered with Jai Ho heroine Daisy Shah. He sported a white stubble, wearing a white shirt that had the Mumbai Heroes logo on it and Daisy in a bright blue top and jeans. The match came to a standstill with a little break in between as fans chanted Salman's name. The title track of his film Jai Ho played in the stadium and Daisy was seen showing off some dance moves.The superstar patiently posed for pictures with police officials as well as media persons and made no bones about the fact that he did plan to promote Jai Ho, that released a day before the match.
Bigg Boss contestants Armaan Kohli (who is now part of Mumbai Heroes) and Sangram Singh were seen chatting with Salman. Salman was impressed by Aftab's performance and was heard praising his effort. We were surprised to see Sneha Ullal show up at the match, who looked almost unrecognisable, till Salman himself pointed out towards her.
Another turning point came when Honey Singh entered for his performance in between the match. An excited Salman Khan, Daisy Shah and Mumbai Heroes brand ambassador Huma Qureshi took to the stage to dance on his hit song Party Yun Hi Chalegi. Later however, he sung Lungi Dance from Salman's rival Shah Rukh Khan's film Chennai Express. Everyone in the stadium was excited to see how Salman would react. At first Salman seemed a little uncomfortable but later grooved to the song and clapped.
Among the other pretty ladies who were cheering for the boys was Huma Qureshi, Barkha Bisht who came in with her daughter to support husband Indraneil Sengupta, Shruti Haasan who looked gorgeous in an orange outfit and South star Trisha who was spotted clicking selfies, Sanchita Shetty and Vijaylakshmi.
Capitan Vishal Krishna performed very well for the Chennai Rhinos and was seen instructing his team all the while, leading to a brilliant win. They easily chased the 165 target that Mumbai had scored.
Veer Maratha owners Ritesh and Genelia Deshmukh walked hand in hand to the sound of the typical Marathi lejim. They made an entry much before their match could begin, at 5.30 pm. Genelia who has a cameo in Jai Ho was seen running towards Arpita and hugging her in the dressing room, she also playfully punched Sohail a couple of times before giving him a bear hug. As the Veer Marathas v/s Bhojpuri Dabbangs match began Ritesh was seen discussing his strategy with his team, in Marathi.
