Most of us who have been glued to the TV sets, ardently following the IPL cricket series, will have to admit that the action on the sidelines of the field has grabbed the same, if not more, attention than the action in the center of the field has. Yup, which male has been able to keep his eyes away from the “imported” cheerleaders, flashing their stuff in tiny skirts and bikini tops?
But the same cheerleaders have aroused – get your mind out of the gutter – yes, they’ve aroused ire. The Maharashtra government has voiced a strong opinion against them and so has our very own Bihari Babu, Shotgun Sinha. They feel it’s not proper that near-nude women dance on the sidelines of the favorite sport of a nation which “worships” women.
Are the semi-clad cheerleaders a detriment to the wholesome family entertainment that IPL offers? Or should they be just taken as a part of the game and the associated glamour quotient?

What do you think? Are you comfortable with the cheerleaders dancing to Bollywood tunes each time Sehwag scores a six? Or do you think they are too much of a distraction? Should semi-nude women just be confined to centerfolds and item numbers? Or are they fine on the cricket ground?
