A friendly cricket match held in Lucknow recently between the UP Chief Secretary XI and the Indian Industries Association (IIA) XI went in favour of the former, which won the match by seven runs. In the run-up to the match, the industrialists in the IIA team were found discussing - albeit in a lighter vein - the "repercussions" of winning the match. Interestingly, the UP IAS XI cricket team has lost all the three annual cricket matches it has played against the side led by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav (CM XI) since the inception of the series three years ago.
One wonders if it was the "repercussion" rather than the strength of a team that was at play in these games.
