Who will you cheer for?

As Team Hyderabad and Team Kolkata clash at Cuttack’s Barabati Stadium today, BT asks Ollywood celebs who they will be batting for
I am extremely excited about the match but my tight schedule might not allow me to go to the stadium. I am all for Team Hyderabad. The reason is simple: that’s our home team and there are some Odia players in that team. Though I’m a fan of Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Team Hyderabad remains my priority because of its Odia connect. Akash Das Nayak, Actor
I have just returned from a tour and I’m not very clued into what’s happening in the IPL. I won’t be able to go to the stadium and watch the match. But my support is and will always be for Team Kolkata. That’s because it is a good team and I have heard that its players are doing well. Besides, it’s Shah Rukh Khan’s team and I’m a fan of his. Anu Chowdhury, Actor
I try to watch all IPL matches but my schedule doesn’t always permit me to do so. I’m eagerly waiting for the match in Cuttack. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to watch the match live at the stadium and I’ll support Team Kolkata. It’s because as an artiste, I respect Shah Rukh Khan and understand how difficult it is to maintain a balance between two different worlds. Sritam Das, Actor and Director
For the forthcoming match, I’m equally loyal to both the teams. I play cricket and have my own team. So, my loyalty is for the game. Since I’m a big fan of Sourav Ganguly, for the match between Team Pune and Team Hyderabad in Cuttack, I will support Dada’s team. Anubhav Mohanty, Actor
When it comes to choosing between Team Kolkata and Team Hyderabad, I’ll undoubtedly support Team Kolkata. Earlier I used to support this team as it had Dada (Sourav Ganguly) as the captain and I’m a huge fan of his. Though this year Dada is not in the team, I’m a Bengali and I must admit that I have a weakness for Team Kolkata. I won’t be able to attend the match since I’ll be in Hyderabad then. Yet, I’m going to cheer SRK’s team sitting in front of the TV. Arindam Roy, Actor
