- Some cheerleaders danced at an IPL match in Delhi.
The Mumbai Indians are essentially assured of a place in the final stages of the Indian Premier League, but they will be without one of their cheerleaders, who was thrown out of the IPL after it emerged that she was writing a "saucy" blog for the Alternative Cricket Almanack.
Gabriella Pasqualotto has returned home to South Africa after it came to light that she was the writer of "The Secret Diary of an IPL Cheerleader", in which she anonymously talks about her experiences in India and names some of cricket's more party-loving and flirtatious characters.
"Usually only after day matches there is an exclusive after party and at night is when it all happens. The music pumps, the drinks flow and the cricketers come and go … the real fun happens in the VIP rooms where the players and night owls can cause scandal!" Ms. Pasqalotto wrote.
"The likes of Jonty Rhodes and Albie Morkel are notorious for having a good time with friends! 'Ol Graeme Smith will flirt with anything while his girlfriend lurks behind him. The Aussies are fun but naughty, such as Aiden Blizzard and Dan Christian," she says.
This is hardly Wikileaks—few people would be surprised to hear that some sportsmen are flirtatious or enjoy a night on the town. Rest easy, Julian Assange.
