Best way to leverage Shoaib Akhtar in IPL

I am glad to hear that Shoaib has been cleared to play in IPL.
However, as all of us know Shoaib will break-down after a couple of
games and thus a fee of half a million dollars is hardly justifiable
unless Kolkata knight riders get creative about how to use him. Shoaib
has recently clarified two important things about himself which should
give a clue about his long-term aspirations. These two things are:

1. Shoaib wants to pursue his future in entertainment and movie
industry
2. Shoaib will literally do anything to play in IPL

Incidentally these two career aspirations are ideal for IPL and here
is how they can create a win-win situation for all:

1. Knowing Shoaib's love for acting/dancing, he should be asked to
perform with the cheerleaders before every game. For this purpose we
should get him a pakistani flag "bikini". Imagine, crowds filling the
stadiums to watch Shoaib dance in Pakistani national bikini with the
cheer-leaders. It will be a huge attraction..

2. During or after the match a special surprise segment called
"Shoaib's beating" should be arranged for Shoaib to spank various
Pakistani players. For example imagine Asif, Umar Gul, Misbah, Sohail
Tanvir getting spanked in front of Indian crowds at various surprise
moments. Imagine crowd guessing, which pakistani player would be
spanked and when. What an entertainment!

These two things along with Shoaib's occasional fast bowling will make
him a star attraction in IPL. I am sure he will be able to provide 3
or 4 really fast dismissals which his pakistani fans can use to create
musical Youtube tributes along with the above two.

One final thought, as a grand finale, IPL should invite Nasim Ashraf
(PCB chairman) secretly for the final Kolkata game. As a surprise
rather than Shoaib beating a pakistani player, he should conclude by
beating Nasim Ashraf. This will be massively entertaining and what a
way to finish the season!

This will also give Shoaib, PCB and the Pakistani media to do
something untill the next IPL season i.e PCB will ban Shoaib for
beating the PCB chairman. The ban will subsequently be converted in to
a few match suspension to be served during the time Shoaib is injured,
finally allowing him to entertain in the next IPL session.

Summary, more entertainment for fans, more money for IPL, more money
and future acting career for Shoaib (win-win for all!)
