India’s biggest money churners —  fashion and cricket — have joined hands to celebrate entertainment. Players have been roped in to showcase designerwear at several cities. Recently, the Delhi Daredevil team walked the ramp showcasing creations by fashion designers Rohit Bal and Manoviraj Khosla at Ramola Bachchan’s new restaurant at Saket in Delhi. Sports boys Virendra Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Glenn Mcgrath sashayed down the ramp. Fashion and cricket seems to have come together to create a carnival of sorts.  Manoviraj agrees, “Of course. And it works, as each cricketer here is a showstopper in himself. Cricketers too want to look stylish and trendy today.”

Fashion guru Prasad Bidapa, however, feels that cricket must get more fashionable than it is today. “Cricket needs a bigger dose of fashion and style. The jerseys need to undergo a revamp. The tracks need to get fitter and the shirts need to get sexier,” he says. One also saw a confident Rahul Dravid and  a cool Zaheer Khan  at a similar fashion do in Bangalore. Fashion choreographer Sheetal Sharma who has worked with many of these cricketers says, “They were confident and loved walking the ramp. Dhoni was best and Zaheer Khan comes next.” she says.
