Mumbai Indians

#1 Post by Patrick Bateman »

Tautology really winds me up. Why are they called the Mumbai Indians when all the teams in the IPL are Indians?

Its a stupid mentality. I'll bet there are people in certain cities all over the world who think that they represent the country.

Is it because Tendulkar plays for them?

^^ Naa.. Any way, Tendulkar had no say in naming the team. The franchisee owners decide the name.

Maybe its just a way of stating they are Indians representing Mumbai.. hence: Mumbai Indians :)
