It's no mean feat to stand out when you are competing against Liz Hurley, Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta in the stands.

Yes, we are talking about the sexy Riya Sen who has been voted as Miss IPL by a news channel. Riya, who was seen supporting the Kochi Tuskers Kerala team, speaks to CS:
Cricket crazy
I am born in Kolkata where people are crazy about cricket and Dada (Saurav Ganguly). It is home to Eden Gardens, the mecca of cricket. My parents are also cricket fanatics so the game runs in our blood.u00a0
Twenty 20 fever
I feel that Twenty 20 is perfect for the female audience. It's fast paced with a lot of excitement. Watching or going for a Twenty 20 match with family/friends also means total masti. We can cry hoarse when we see the fours and sixes. The ongoing IPL is truly cricket on a global platform. It has a very international feel to it.
Lucky mascot
Well, the Kerala team won all the three matches when I was present to cheer the team. And the only match I didn't attend, the one against Rajasthan Royals, they lost badly. So, people have termed me as a 'lucky mascot'.
Favourite player
I really like Brendon McCullum because he is a very aggressive batsman and an amazing fielder. He can really hit the ball out of the park. I got to see some explosive innings from him this season. And of course, Sachin Tendulkar!
