Drums, music and cheergirls

There is always a mischief around in Twenty20 and who can bring this Airtel CL T20 alive better than the 'white mischief gals'.

Christina from USA, who is heading the band of cheergirls in the capital, is all excited to be here.

"We are having a gala time. Coming to India, we didn't exactly know what to expect but after being here and performing, we want to come back again," she said.

Talking about the crowd response in India as compared to South Africa during the Indian Premier League earlier this year, Christina said, "The crowd response is just fabulous. They are dancing to our beats. This has motivated us to introduce new steps. We are doing back flips, stunts, etc."

While, Christina and five other girls are selected from all across the States, 13 others have come from South Africa.

Christina, who was also a part of the music video of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, said that while she had already visited India earlier, for the rest of the members it is the first time.

"Girls are really happy. We went to see Taj Mahal yesterday and a couple of other forts and we just loved it."

On whether they are facing any sorts of problems in this conservative country, Christina answered in negative.

"The security is superb and since it is a well-organised event, we hardly have had any issues. People have also welcomed us and we haven't faced any sort of abuse till now. It is a good, vibrant and nice atmosphere here."

Christina and her gang of girls will be flying to Bangalore on Wednesday and they are expecting the same response there as well.

"We are off to Bangalore tomorrow, a place about which we have heard a lot. We are all looking forward to performing there and we are sure that we will have as enjoyable a time there as we had here in Delhi," said Christina.
