Rajpal Yadav's antics on the big screen never fail to bring the house down. Now the diminutive actor is all set to don a new role, that of a cricket team owner. Yes...you heard it right.

Rajpal Yadav will own and patronize this team and will be responsible for marketing and promoting it nationally. He will be involved from grass root level in all aspects of the team - from selection, grooming of the players, cheering the team and getting various corporate sponsorships for his team in this season.
Divya Dutta was also signed as the team owner of 'Ludhiana Gullies' recently, She also is currently hands on responsible for leading her team. The organizers are aiming to disburse individual ownership for each team for all the 16 teams in Season 2. It will follow the city franchisee model and discussion is on at various levels with local celebrities and corporates who have national appeal.
For the uninitiated, T-10 Gully Cricket 'Season 2 -Ab Har Koi Khelega' is a unique 16 city talent hunt cum social initiative which provides platform for the youngsters to connect directly and get involved with cricket at a level that has never been attempted before in India. The main objective is to explore and create a platform for the amateurs thereby providing opportunities to deserving and undiscovered cricketing talents to play live in front of large audiences and on national television channels.
One will have to wait and watch if T-10 Gully Cricket manages to create the same frenzy which IPL (Indian Premier League) did in its first two editions.
