A midsummer's night & other stories
Cobots have lit up the pitch with cheerleaders at this VIVO IPL 2018.
The Aar Cee Bees!
Guess what’s new on the RCB arena? No, it’s not how dismally our team is doing! Or how skipper Virat Kohli seems to be the last man standing either! But robots! Cobots have lit up the pitch with cheerleaders at this VIVO IPL 2018.
These Collaborative Robots are seen cheering Team RCB. They can be seen brandishing the RCB flag, waving it in the air, quite like the missing cheerleaders did! Not as appealing and sexy as the cheerleaders are though, the bot idea seems to be working, especially in our city where IT and tech rule the day! These ‘Cobots’ were introduced for the first time in IPL on April 13 when RCB took on KXIP at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
BUDDAY BOY’s cover drive!
It was KL Rahul’s birthday on April 19 and twitter verse had much to say about the stylish cricketer who is having a great run at the IPL! Among the wishes he got was Yuvraj Singh who wished him and Rahul replied, “KL Rahul@klrahul11Replying to @YUVSTRONG12 Thank you @YUVSTRONG12 pa! Love always! Please stop smashing cakes on my face.”
Happy Birthday Rahul, keep smashing that cover drive, or as Harsha Bhogle tweeted, “@bhogleharshaApr 15, I have so enjoyed watching KL Rahul’s cover drives. I could watch him all day!” You can say that again! We also spotted actress Sumalatha and Ambareesh at the RCB match that our team won, held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. They looked happy campers! Even Nikhil Chinapa took to twitter to swear his allegiance to the men in red and black, even though the team is having a rough ride, on how he is a fan of RCB forever!
