Chennai IPL franchisee goes about its job quietly.

The owners of the Chennai Super Kings team have gone about tying up with sponsors with typical South Indian restraint.

They have gone for a judicious mix of cricket with the glamour of Tamil cinema by signing up the former Indian team Captain and a media personality K.Srikkanth along with the leading actors in Tamil cinema Vijay and Nayanthara as brand ambassadors.

They have also shown considerable business acumen by signing Aircell Cellular Services, a leading mobile phone service provider as team sponsor along with Reebok as team apparel sponsors.

It is obvious that the Indian Cements group has a head start over the other IPL franchisees and chosen subtlety over hype.

UNIVERSAL APPEAL?
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE FANS OF CHENNAI ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE DRESS CHOSEN FOR THE TEAM

This is the first time I am hearing about it.

BTW, I too felt that Nayanthara's dress was inappropriate. She was positively overdressed.

A small favour in return, let me know a good blogger template. I tried a few of the free ones, somehow the three column ones dont work well.
