Sample our very own Indian Premier League-IV honours board
>> Award for the best cost-saving initiative: The BCCI, for sacking Lalit Modi as IPL commissioner last year. Hence, the official broadcasters saved cost of having one camera perennially panned on the sacked official.
>> Well dressed, forget the rest award: Navjot Singh Sidhu for his immaculate dress sense although his Sidhuisms continue to suck.
>> Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai award: To Vijay Mallya. His team Royal Challengers Bangalore propagated a 'Go Green' campaign by playing their May 8 game against Kochi in green. However after their victory, Mallya was seen with a cigarette.
>> Perfect heist award: Chennai Super Kings for the reported pitch change against RR in Jaipur.

>> Most timely exit award: Virender Sehwag, who left for London to get his shoulder operated once Delhi Daredevils failed to qualify for the
play-offs.
>> Award for ruthlessness: Ravi Shastri, who in 1992, whacked Test debutant Shane Warne to all parts of the Sydney Cricket Ground to score a double hundred. Nineteen years on, he sits on a panel to slap a USD 50,000 on Warne for insulting Rajasthan Cricket Association secretary

jersey could cause a cataract.
