From Anoynimity to Fame
The story of an Internet Celebrity
Nadim Gazi may not be most recognizable name outside of the cricketing world. But to the millions of Tigers fans and cricket lovers worldwide, Mr. Gazi is the most famous and prolific BC-er of all. He boasts a Facebook fan page with over hundred thousand likes and his fame is only rivaled by the ex-cheat and now clean Mohammed Ashraful. So to understand his fandom, I visited a hangout of few university students.
"Well, not all of us can be the next Shakib or Tamim. I don't know how to hold a cricket bat. But I am very fast at typing. So Nadim bhai and his achivement gives us hope to be the next star", says Dildar Elahi, an university student from Dhaka. But his friend interjects "not just any star, but an internet superstar".
Dildar Elahi, the next internet superstar from Dhaka.
Dildar's room is plastered with posters of Nadim Gazi typing away in his beloved forum known as BanglaCricket. In one particular picture, Mr. Gazi is shown typing blindfolded. Dildar says it his favorite picture.
So how did this present day superstar rose from total anonymity? We will sit down with the living legend next week for an exclusive interview
|
Edit: Due to complaints of a particular interviewee, the name Dildar Elahi is no longer in use. He goes by the name Dilscoop now.

No, not at all. Hope he's not a diplomat or someone with lots of power.

1) I'm not Indian. wth?
2) Hipster? What the actual hell!? Freaking Tonya! (Why won't that click!)
2.5) You think I'd dress like that? Serious hate to think I'm giving off that kind r-tarded vibe in this forum.
3) My personality? I thought the article was about Nadim??
4) My name was never dildar... when did that happen?
4.5) Lamisa coined "Dilu", and it took off annoyingly quick! Now it's Dildar!?
5) I'm so confused!

Most users ever online was 2,638, June 23, 2009 at 02:35 PM.
Always wondered, what was happening that day? Tri-series? Shakib's climb to the top?

I always wanted to ask that too, also tried googling that date a while back. We didn't seem to have a match either. All that came up was a CI article naming Mash the captain right before WI tour.

Also, can we completely remove all the Shamim accounts/posts? MaharajaKohli/Blackcaps/Dutchguy etc. posts makes it look like you banned him because he was not a fan... People won't know he's a faker from the outside...
