While Punjab Kings have a John Cena and a Triple H in their squad, Kolkata Knight Riders have a Roman Reigns. The franchise posted a video of Venkatesh Iyer posing with the WWE Title and walking like Roman Reigns demanding acknowledgment. Iyer is accompanied by a manager and the whole act showcases the Tribal Chief gimmick from the WWE ring.
Thus, along with the Cricket, players are all geared up for WrestleMania. However, that's just for the off-field fun. Inside the field, the gentleman;'s game does not allow WWE. But as the IPL is set to start tempers will again flare. The Intensity will again go high as 10 of the top teams will take part in month-and-a-half-long mayhem which much like the WWE will crown a new champion. With so,m much to look forward to, the IPL action is set to begin from March 31.
