Cricket influence on Maharashtra Assembly

et buIndia's T20 World Cup triumph has generated so much euphoria that cricket lexicons have entered the political arena. CM Eknath Shinde, while felicitating the cricket team in Maharashtra assembly, said that like Suryakumar's catch, people won't forget the 'wicket' Sena rebels took two years ago. He was referring to Uddhav Thackeray's wicket after the split in Shiv Sena. Not to be outdone, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claimed that in the next assembly polls, all the three stumps of Maha Yuti - Shinde, deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis (BJP) and Ajit Pawar (NCP) - will be clean bowled.
