It has been sensed that there is a huge gap in the market of non-Royal Challengers Bangalore Indian Premier League teams. It has come to light that insurance players have started offering a unique product to tailor to those teams which have been at the receiving end of Chris Gayle’s lethal ways.
The insurance cover-- ‘Chris Gayle protection cover’ offer as carried by many private players, insures the rival team against Chris Gayle-related issues. They can be excessive expenditure on cricket balls that get lost, loss in bowler’s self-confidence, players who might lose a limb/eye after getting hit severely and ultimately losing the match itself!
An agent of a private insurance company quoted that they realize that Chris Gayle either fires or not definitely makes a profitable market for them to enter, since all the teams will urge to protect themselves against this scary monster! The insurance company charges enormously huge premiums so they remain highly profitable. The squads are keen to go to extreme lengths! This has led to colossal sighs of relief among rival team players.
Ali Murtaza--one of the unlucky victims of Gayle’s implausible 175, which compelled the insurance players to ponder about offering such a product. The victim is dubious about the fact that now even if he bowls a rubbish over, it will be okay as the team will receive some compensation.
Another victim Prasanth Parameshwaran suffered at the hands of Chris Gayle while going for 37 runs in one over two seasons ago with the Kochi Tuskers Kerala. He lamented that if this product was released back then, he would have made a bit of money for himself! Currently Parameshwaran is ironically Chris Gayle’s teammate. It has been reported that Gayle has become more formidable in the nets these days and I think we definitely know the reason why.
Virat Kohli is the captain of RCB while Gayle is amused. Simultaneously, Gayle is pondering that whether the same insurance company could offer his own team shield against RP Singh—hence they basically get some compensation if he screws up.
This issue must have knocked the marketeer’s brain and presently there are various insurance products being proposed: protection from being blinded by the makeup worn by Shilpa Shetty, protection from going deaf after listening to Danny Morrison, protection from one’s IQ dropping to single digits after watching Rochelle Rao. The specialty products have also made it’s toll—protection of N Srinivasan from the assault of Lalit Modi.
When it is interrogated that why nobody had cared to create an insurance product protecting from Ravindra Jadeja, the association of insurance bodies instantly answered that such a product would never be made, since it went against their religious grounds. Sir Jadeja has done it again!
