Two of India's most powerful passions came together on the ramps, as the cricketers walked to the Bollywood beats.

Cricketers associated with the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) showcased their ramp and modelling talent in Chandigarh, they were second to none. The occasion was the launch event of a new high-resolution video and hi-fi music section of santabanta.com, the Chandigarh-based popular entertainment portal.

The cricketers launched a new brighter, smarter and niftier version of its website. The latest version, called the SantaBanta.com V-2.0 Version, offers new varied sections with better and more attractive contents to its users.

"It is good opportunity for us to come out and support our sponsors who have given us great support in the tournament. So in one way, this is a small way of which we can give something back to them and I liked highlighting this occasion for them," said Andrew Hall, South African cricketer playing in ICL.

Meanwhile, the cricket lovers here witnessed that their favourite ICL stars could also set the ramp on fire just like professional models do with their style quotient. And, following the fashion parade was a Bhangra session, where the cricketers danced to popular Punjabi tunes with no hold bar.

Foreign players could not resist dancing and opted not to lag behind their Indian fellows, as all of them enjoyed the foot tapping music of a popular Bollywood movie.

"When there is a lot of cricket and the pressure is more then it is relaxing to do something other than cricket like a ramp walk. It gives you mental relaxation, so its good," said Amit Unniyal, Indian cricketer associated with ICL.

Cricket is known to be the most glamorous sports in India, flavored with Bollywood only makes it irresistible.
