Karaikudi Kaalai is one of the most catchy team names we have seen. People from across the country are scratching heads as to how to pronounce the name, or what it actually means. It scores brownie points for its uniqueness, and its ability to pique interest.

The team is owned by Chettinad Apparels Private Limited, and the owners decided not to include their brand it the name. ‘Kaalai’ means bull in Tamil and they have done well to use the local term for it, instead of the very popular ‘Bulls’.
