The beauty of the saree is determined by its ‘Pallu’ (the broad hem) !! – ask any Man, who accompanies his wife or sisters – when buying a saree !!
You likely
would have observed many ‘a good lookin model showing pallu in saree
advts’ .. .. remember Tilakaratne
Dilshan ?!?
In 2009, at the World T20 in England,
Tillakaratne Dilshan added his name to the list of cricket’s out-of-the-box
thinkers and in doing so defined a tournament, brought a unique shot to the
world’s attention and added a new word to the cricketing lexicon.
As Watson trundled up to the wicket Dilshan shuffled across to a
position outside his off-stump: unconventional maybe, but not yet
groundbreaking. What followed was revolutionary, as he crouched down and
positioned himself inside and under the ball before flaying it over the head of
the Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. The shot was infectious, a
revelation, and it is now firmly part of the game. It may not have been
invented by Dilshan.
Couple of years later in 2011 WC campaign, there were advertisements
of Dilshan trying to drape sareee pallu over his shoulder again and again and
thus mastering the dilscoop shot !!!
