Welcome to Ek Nayi League

IPL, Indian Premier League’s slogan India ka tyohar(festival) is too apt, as this season does not have major festival to celebrate, but all are united in celebrating cricket. If one name game cricket, then Kapil Dev is not far away in discussions. Kapil Dev has been always associated with sports in one or another form; this time he is bringing a new form of league named “EkNayiLeague” and it’s left to us to guess what’s it is all about.

Kapil Dev clearly gives message to many celebrities that if they play this new league with all by heart then surely they will be hit wicket. Message to cricketers M S Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh also mentions that they need not play this league with emotions. Not only cricketers an encouraging message to Sania Mirza shows how important is for girls to play sports in India, the recognition achieved after playing is tremendous. Famous comic artist Kapil Sharma is also not left out, and Kapil Dev says if he plays all be heart then surely he will receive a googly.

A new league would bring in lot more practical approach not only in sports but also in any field of life. The game changer is the one who thinks with open mind keeping in mind all the pros and cons shall succeed and one who plays with heart would be out of the game. More details and videos can be found of this league at  http://www.eknayileague.com/

After listening to various messages by Kapil Dev I think Ek Nayi League is to be played with

Alert Mind: Vigilance is always required in any field, be it sports or a life

Strategy & Planning: Planning plays an important role while playing and such decisions need to be taken by logistic side of person.

Reshuffling: Reshuffle your qualities to achieve the best, and such reshuffling does not need an emotional side of yours.

Following Rules: Rules are soul of the game, so do follow them religiously, Albert Einstein very aptly quoted “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” 

Dedication: Winning over a game needs complete dedication be it a game of cricket, tennis or any sport or be it a life what pays in the end is the way we approach and our instant decisions which brings in unmatched satisfaction.

So, play this nayi league with your alert mind keeping your heart aside. “To win over we sometimes need to think or we can say let our brain lead our heart and see how the output sparkles”. A little jingle for Kapil Paaji and his Ek Nayi League
A new league is on,
Kapil Dev blows the horn.

Come play with wit & valor,
to win the world over.

Join hands from any stream,
be a sport or from tv screen.

Looking forward to this new league and surely can't wait for all the fun it will unfold.
