Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah saw the lighter side at IPL auction on Saturday likening "unsold" cricketers to legislators overlooked for ministerial berths but still putting up a brave face.
"Unsold cricketer at #IPLAuction = MLA/MP overlooked for ministry before oath taking ceremony. *embarrassed but putting on a brave face*," Omar wrote on Twitter.
