Chennai & Rajasthan prevail !

That it is a mind game is proved by Shane Warne. He won the toss, put Dravdis' men to bat and bowled them out for 138. Their game plan was class. Dravid, Chanderpaul and Kallis were held in the deep. Except for some lusty hitting by Ross Taylor (44) and Praveen Kumar (34), none of the other batsmen could excel. Munaf got 2 wickets, Trivedi 1, Warne 1 and Watson 2.

Shane Watson was as solid as ever, playing the sheet anchor role and scoring 61 not out. Graeme Smith became successful for the second time and scored 49. Yousuf Pathan scored only 21, but the innings was embellished with 5 fours.

In the other match, Dhoni's men proved to be formidable. Jacob Oram took both the wickets of McCullum and Ponting to reduce the Knight Riders to 32/2, from which they never recovered. He also took the wicket of Karthik ang got the Man of the Match award.

Laxmi Ratan Shukla played well for his 42 and the innings folded up at 147/9.

A glorious stand of 66 by Parthiv Patel and Hayden saw the Super Kings on to a solid start. When Patel perished for 21, in walked Dhoni and both Dhoni and Hayden saw the Super Kings home with some excellent batting !

Sangakara pulls, cuts and lofts Punjab to victory !

Magnificent batting by Sangakara and great bowling by Kings XI saw Punjab home in the match against the Mumbai Indians.

The 182 scored by Punjab was a competitive score, and the Punjab bowlers bowled superbly. Brett Lee bowled well and took one wicket, Chawla 2, Sreesanth 2, VRV 1 and Pathan 1.

This is the third consecutive defeat of the Mumbai Indians and they have to win the rest 4 matches to be in the reckoning.

Here we give a list of the 8 sites of the teams. May them become the Manchester Uniteds and the Chelseas of Cricket

Deccan Chargers
Royal Challengers
Rajasthan Royals
Punjab Kings XI
Mumbai Indians
Chennai Super Kings
Kolkotta KnightRiders
Delhi Dare Devils

Rajastan Royals win in thriller !

Now all teams are scoring more than 200 and 200 has become the standard of the game.

Yesterday saw a lot of records rewritten. The fastest hundred off 47 balls by Symonds, the fastest 50 off 21 balls by Yousuf Pathan ( who incidentally got the Man of the Match ) and the fastest 100 in 51 balls or 8.3 overs, by Rajastan Royals !

Deccan Chargers palyed well for their 214/5, with Symonds scoring 117. Magnificent support from Rohit Sharma, who scored 36. You will think that 214 is a formidable score, but the Rajastan Royals eclipsed it with 217/7 !

Yousuf Pathan belted six sixes, scoring 61 off 28 balls ! Graeme Smith scored 71 and then in walked Shane Warne. Off the last over, RR needed 17 runs to win. Shane belted a four and 2 sixes and Royals won the game royally !

This will go down in history as one of the best thrillers ever seen !

Chennai once again prove to be formidable !

Edging out Mumbai in a thriller, Chennai proved that they are one of the best teams in the tournament, even though it is too early to say so.

Hayden blasted 81 off 46 balls, Suresh Raina 53 off 37 balls and Dhoni 30 off 16 balls, as Chennai scored 209 runs in 120 balls !

Century partnership between Raina and Hayden was well received by the Chennai audience, numbering more than 30000. Crowds went into ecstacy, as the Super Kings crossed 200 for the second consecutive time. A score above 200 is considered mighty in T20 !

Chasing a mammoth 209, Mumbai fought well. Uthappa, Bravo, A Nayar and Bajji contributed, but fell short by 6 runs ! Joginder Sharma and Muralitharan, bagged 2 wickets each.

IPL is a huge hit in Australia. Channel Ten reports that 800,000 people saw Hussey score 116 not out ! It is a mega hit in India, with 300 million people glued to their TV sets at night. All are making money, the BCCI, the 8 investing teams, the players etc.

Now the teams on form are Chennai, Kolkota and Delhi. It is too early to say who is going to come out tops. The other teams have not found their rhythm yet. Deccan Chargers, Royals and Indians are all powerful teams, but have not found their touch.

Chennai is a formidable team with Hussey, Hayden, Raina, Badrianath, Dhoni, Patel & Oram. They have not scored less than 200 in any match ! Deccan Chargers, with a formidable batting line up, with Boom-Boom ( Afridi ), Gilly, Symonds, Gibbs etc get a chance to show their formidability today.

Rohit & Sehwag dazzle !

A magnificent 94 not out off 41 balls by Sehwag saw the Daredevils home by 9 wickets.

Earlier great bowling by McGrath, Asif and Mahroof had reduced the formidable Deccan Chargers to 60/5. The Hour findeth the man and the man for the Chargers was Rohit Sharma !

4 sixes flowed from his bat and out of 36 balls he had scored 66. What an innings.

This innings was later ecliped by the 94 not out by Sehwag.

This IPL is a mega hit. BCCI should be congratulated for arranging this event. All franchises will do well. This is a great boon for the players. Now players like Dinda, Salunke, Saha, Jadeja are in the limelight. This is Cricket's most glorious moment.

Shane Watson, Man of the Match and R Royals win !

Yuvraj' s Punjab got a shock, when they were trounced by Rajasthan Royals.

RR was totally a different team today. There are many who say this is a batters game ( Mark Boucher ). Ian Bishop differed from that view, stating that the bowler has equal chance in a T20 format. As the batsmen go on taking risks and choose the aerial route, the bowler can take wickets at any time ! Depends on the skill of the bowler.


The latter view was proved right by the Royals. Shane Warne came in to bowl and he took 3 wickets. Salunke the other spinner foxed M Jayawardene, as he lunged forward to hit him off the ground. He was stumped. Warne had Hopes lbw for 16, caught and bowled Sangakara and had Yuvraj lbw. Bowlers win matches, whether it be in a Test, ODI or T20 format !

Yuvraj played well for his 57, embellished as it was with 4 sixes.

Sreesanth drew first blood by removing Kaif !Even though Sreesanth, Lee and Hopes bowled well, the target of 165 was not enough. We have seen matches with scores of more than 200.

In other words, both Shanes, Shane Watson and Shane Warne starred in the Royals win. It was a professional approach, the Aussie approach.
