They say that 'Practice makes a man perfect'. True to this saying, Sohail Khan (whose celebrity cricket team 'Mumbai Heroes' made its debut last year) is now all geared up to be back with a bang and how! He has now hired the former Indian Test cricketer Balvinder Singh Sandhu to train his team for the second season that will start in January. News is that they've now been doing net practice for over five weeks. Sohail candidly admitted that back then, they (the team) went unprepared as they thought of it as a friendly match. It's only after that they realized that even the matches at the celebrity league are played with a high degree of competition. Hence, this time, they want to be prepared and equipped. The icing on the cake is that Salman Khan will be playing one of the matches for he knows the game well. Meanwhile, the team's Captain Suniel Shetty said that they (the team) do a lot of stretching exercises to prevent any injuries and that during the batting sessions, Balvinder encouraged them tremendously to play shots. In the same breath, director Apoorva Lakhia (one of the team members) said that the having the 1983's World Cup-winning cricketer as a coach helped them bring in a 'professional attitude' in the game. Needless to say that, Sohail Khan's team (including the heavyweights like Salman, Suniel Shetty, Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab and gang) will now have absolute winning reasons to look forward to this season of CCL.
