The other day I was listening to FM channel 92.7 and the RJ was telling the listeners about the superstitious practices that the movie stars owning IPL teams follow to make sure that their teams win. If she is to be believed, Kings XI Punjab owner Preity Zinta goes to a temple early in the morning on the day of the match to pray for her team's success and on her return distributes the Prasaad to the team. Juhi Chawla and Shahrukh Khan, the owners of Kolkata Knight Riders, make sure they wear a particular jersey while watching KKR play. Rajasthan Royals' Shilpa Shetty wears two watches on the same wrist while watching her team play.

And then there is Amitabh Bachchan. He doesn't own any team but is a fan of Mumbai Indians. Apparently, he never watches any of MI matches live, only the recordings. Going by the poor performance of the team so far in this season, it looks like Mr. Bachchan would do well to stop watching the recordings as well.
