As many as three local lads, all top-order bats, will turn out for the visiting Punjab, while for Bangalore, playing for the Karnataka state is all but a curse, so few and far in between have they picked players from the once Garden City. Modern fans though don't quite see it that way. Though they will also support KL Rahul, who got the fastest 50 of the T20 tournament, Mayank Agarwal and Karun Nair, they will throng the venue wearing red and screaming till their faces go blue. Until of course a certain Yuvraj Singh walks out, then team loyalties will be banished.
