Mumbai Indians Owe Me A New Pair Of Headphones, Here Is Why!
So yesterday it was the Rajasthan Royals that beat Mumbai Indians, this is something that has deeply cost me. The match was not a very high-scoring fiesta and the match ended with Rajasthan Royals claiming victory by a small score. However, the cost of this match was very high for me.
How Did the Match Go?
This was one Mumbai would be particularly disappointed with because they were in control of the chase going into the last six overs after Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma hit half-centuries to leave them needing 65 off 36 with seven wickets in the shed. After that, though, they lost three wickets for two runs over the next seven balls against spin as the chase derailed.
Kieron Pollard kept hopes alive by biffing a few blows at the close, but an excellent penultimate over from Prasidh Krishna that went for just ten - no boundary was conceded - left Mumbai needing 29 off the final over. Mumbai just found one more boundary as Pollard kept finding the fielders before the match ended with Buttler fittingly taking a catch to remove him as Mumbai fell short by 23 runs.
Why Am I Upset About the Match?
The truth is I was betting on the game, yes, I know betting is wrong but it’s IPL, right? I lost such an important thing I can’t begin to tell you! I lost my favorite pair of headphones to Rehan and these were the latest Bluetooth headphone from Macmerise. The thing is Rehan keeps on telling me to bet and I keep on losing the bet to him. Just yesterday, I lost 2 of my Favourite Bluetooth speakers to him.
Bluetooth Headphones That I Lost to Rehan
Yes, I know it’s a pattern but I can’t control the urge to bet on it, I mean come on have you never looked at an upcoming IPL match and said to your friend, “Today KKR will win!”? The truth is we all bet on IPL because somewhere we connect with the team.
How To Find Out Which IPL Team Your Colleagues Support
Everyone bets on their favorite team in the office, and you can very easily identify who bets on who by looking at everyone’s phone cover. Yes, not the phone but the cover. You could see people who supported RCB and GT keeping their phone cases visible to let us all know they won the office pool.
Let People Know Who You Support
At this point you must be wondering where did we get these phone cases, right? Well, again it was Rehan who found out about this site called Macmerise and ordered a case for his winning team (trust me they will lose someday or other), such a show-off I tell you!
Well, if I am being honest the cases are actually pretty good, and Rehanis a good friend too but IPL gets us so competitive, right? If KKR loses another match to any team I am getting the same Macmerise case that Rehan has!
I Am Not Supposed to Tell You This, SHHH
Btw, I need to let you guys know I am not supposed to tell you all, about the IPL office pool at our firm but then I need a place to share my story and the Macmerise team was kind enough to let me write a blog here (I mean every time I lose a bet to Rehan they get a new order, so it’s only fair right?).
This is our secret guys!
Tomorrow it is again Rajasthan Royals going against Royal Challengers Bangalore and I am rubbing my phone case like it’s a magic genie, so pray for RCB and me because I just got my new headphones and I don’t want to lose them to someone else this time!
Yes, I want you to pray that I don’t lose the office pool, specifically to Rahul. While you are at it, let me drop a big question, who do you think will win the IPL this time?
Don’t comment here turn your phone around, let the back speak! I mean you must love your team enough to support them through merch, right?
