Why Rajnikanth wasn’t picked in the Chennia IPL team?

I mean, come on, the alpha male of India, the man who doesn’t need a bat to score. Runs, I mean. The man who can hit a 6 off a wide. The man who is the god of offside, legside, all the sides of a trapezium…Ah well, you get the idea.
Who wouldn’t want a guy in their team who could run a 6 off a forward defensive prod back to the bowler. Who could determine the result of a match at the toss. Who doesn’t need to appeal, just a stare at the umpire will do.
His ‘don’t see ball, hit ball’ is a philosophy that many a cricketer have adopted. Albeit with some modifications, more suited to their mortal status of course.
Who will reimburse his IPL team owners if they didn’t win the trophy.
Who, I say?
Who wouldn’t want such a man in his team?
Why wouldn’t Chennai pick him. He is a God down there. All other Gods exist at his benevolence. The team wouldn’t need a coach. Hell, they wouldn’t even need the other 10 players.
They can save all that money. And put it to probably finding a solution to make enough clothes for the Tollywood heroines down there.
Wait. Did you just say that a cricket team has to have 11 players on the field?
Did you also say that cricket is a team-sport? Not a one man army.
And that all the teams that have won the IPL so far have won on the basis of teamwork and not just on the back of one person?
That’s so medieval.
Is that the reason why the Rajnikanth of the east wasn’t picked up his team?
I wonder.
