Noted actor and Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor, with Ayesha Takia, today unveiled two special 'Man of the Match' trophies from the Gitanjali Group for the IPL tournament. These trophies are to be presented to the man of the match in the home games of the IPL teams, with which the group has an association, i.e. Kings XI Punjab and Deccan Chargers will be playing.

Shahid Kapoor took time off from his busy schedule in the promotion of his upcoming movie ‘Paathshala’ which promises to be another feather in the versatile actor's cap, to unveil the specially designed trophies.

Paathshala is another unique movie with a strong message for the masses and for our educators. Paathshala challenges the increasing immoralities and unethical practices in our education system. It analyses intricately the relationship between students, teachers and the education system with sensitivity and sensibility. Paathshala is all about an urgent and desperate eye-opening mission for our education system today.

With cricket being a national obsession among today’s youth it holds a potential to educate too. Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Mehul Choksi Chairman Gitanjali Group Ltd, states, "Gitanjali Group would like to be at the heart of young India. Cricket in India is more than a sport and we are glad to be associated with this magnificent game that is the singular most unifying force in a diverse country like India.”
