And now Delhi Capitals.  

 

WTF is a Super King?  A King XI?  A Royal?  A Royal Challenger (at least there is a liquor association there)?  Our obsession with royalty is revolting.  

  

Very un imaginative like bollywood..so many freaking supers royals and kings. People might die of cringe..

Bihar Bahubalis....state famous for them strongmen and dons who wield political power/influence. 

 

UP too has plenty of them but Yogiji is castrating them one by one.  Besides Cow suits them so well, had SP been in power we would have seen Lucknow/Awadh Nawabs or something like that. 

 

Dunno if you guys followed PHL (precursor to Hockey India League), it had some of the best names: Sher-e-Jalandhar, Chennai Veerans, Maratha Warriors, Hyderabad Sultans, Bangalore Hi-Fliers...

 

 

Bahubalis sounds like a very apt name. Our IPL team naming convention lacks any creativity and also owners for some reason feel the need to anglecize names. For example, when Pune came out with a franchise, I was hoping they would pick "Pune Peshwas" as the name. It was very apt for the city of Pune with its long history of association with the Peshwas, who helped build this city.

Nothing more irritating than the name Kolkata Knight Riders. Wtf does that even mean? Even ICL had Royal Bengal Tigers. You have the most majestic apex predator in your region and you go with an alien name that makes zero sense, * you SRK-Mehta.
