She left for Bangalore last month and is now based in her host city, Hyderabad from where the cheerleading squad travels to various cities where the games are being played.
If you are a supporter of the Sunrisers Hyderabad cricket team currently taking part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) you will know all about the Orange Army. That’s what the team’s eight fabulous cheerleaders are called and one of the firm favourites (judging by the cameraman’s focus) is Kayleigh-Anne Thompson who hails from Ramsgate.

Dancer Kayleigh (23) has been selected as a rah rah girl for the second year. She left for Bangalore last month and is now based in her host city, Hyderabad from where the cheerleading squad travels to various cities where the games are being played.
Kayleigh says although many hours are spent rehearsing they have also had time to visit the country’s many tourist attractions.
So far she has made 10 flights across the country and will no doubt notch up many more air miles before the tournament ends on May 19.
“I am loving my time here, it has been an amazing experience,” said Kayleigh.
