Murali Kartik played the first ever IPL match on 18th April only to be a mere "fielder" in the Kolkata Knight Riders Team. This is the sneak peak in his diary on 18th of April...
"Dear Diary,
It was a very hectic day at the ground. Not that I had to bowl many overs, but I had to field for so much time. In fact, I didnt bowl a single over. Strange!! I still dont know why everyone was looking at me like that. It all started with Shah Rukh coming to our dressing room to meet us. While shaking hand with me, he said some like "keep well", "one or two misses are fine". I think he is working too late these days. Even Sourav has gone crack. When Mc'cullam refused to keep after his knock, he asked me I would like to keep wickets. If that wasnt enough, during our bowling, when I asked Dada for an over or two, he started laughing. What the heck? If you didnt want me to bowl or bat then why did you pick me the team??? Who do they think I am? Dhinesh Karthik? Oh Shit, I think they do!!!!"
