An
innovative idea to bring in cheerleaders
to perform wearing Saris will be witnessed
in the day-and-night one-day match
between India and Sri Lanka on December
21 at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
The Orissa Cricket Association (OCA)
secretary Ashirbad Behera said that
they have selected hand-woven textile
called the Sambalpuri Saris for the
cheerleaders. They will perform for
every boundary and wicket fall.
He added, “At least 15 Oriya
girls between 18 and 20 would be selected
for the purpose. They will be placed
in three different parts of the stadium.”
Behera also emphasized that they will
wear saris as they are part of our
culture and tradition as against the
short skirts worn normally during
such occasions.
These cheerleaders will perform for
super hit Oriya films and albums running
in the background.
