It was once again a fitting final to an extravagant event as it should be. Similar to the previous edition’s final this one also went down to the wire to a close finish. It was expected to be an exciting contest as both these teams met prior to the semis and even that match proved to be a nail-biting contest. The most interesting part about this year’s finals is that it was between the teams that were at the bottom of the points table last year.

The highlight performance of the finals however was that of losing captain Anil Kumble’s effort of a four wicket haul. This restricted the Deccan Chargers to a meagre total of 143-6. Also for the Deccan Chargers Herschelle Gibbs carried his bat with a brilliant 53 when wickets were tumbling around him. But the credit goes to the Deccan bowlers as they packed the Royal Challengers for a meagre 137 to win by 6 runs. The pick of the bowlers were Pragyan Ojha who bowled a superb spell of 3-28 off 4 overs and all the three wickets were crucial ones at crucial junctures. To add to the Royal Challengers’ agony all the bowlers gave away nothing and everyone chipped in with wickets. Above all Gilchrist’s captaincy has to be lauded as he motivated a bunch of young and experienced side from a poor show the previous show last year to winning the title!

On the whole the final was a perfect finish to end the great tournament of cricket.

In earlier days we used to have separate places to purchase vegetables, cosmetics, stationery items, clothing etc. But with increasing in the purchasing power and urbanization we see many big shopping malls and supermarkets coming up where we can get anything and everything under one roof. This has suited the urban people and the working class as they find it hard to spend time to buy each thing in a separate place.

Similarly when it comes to booking tickets online they would surely benefit if they are able to book tickets of any sort under one roof. This is a boon in disguise for people who find it hard to stand in long queues to book their tickets and that too they can book any ticket like sports, concerts and theater. Sports range from Auto Racing to WWE, concert tickets range from folk, jazz and pop/rock. It is also possible to book tickets for theater like Opera, Las Vegas shows, children/family shows. Another fascinating thing is that we are provided with FedEx delivery which ensures safe and quicker delivery. Also we can track our tickets from the time it was ordered to the time it is delivered, by going to My Ticket Tracker and entering the order and pin number received in our confirmation mail.

So the queue is dead and now ticket booking is not a headache anymore.

It was a stunning start to the first semi of the IPL2 between the Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers during the first half-an-hour. The favorites for the match Delhi lost its openers in the first over without score on the board. Gambhir was bogged down by Ryan Harris as he gave no width to the left-hander. So he decided to go over the top and got caught by R.P Singh at third man. Similar case was that of David Warner, he fiercely cut the last ball of the over only to find Gibbs at backward point. On another day these two shots would have gone to the ropes, but those two wickets going to the Chargers showed that the match was poised to be a bit one-sided.

But it was Sehwag and Dilshan who came to Delhi’s rescue by putting on a worthy partnership and guided them to 83-2 till the strategic break. But soon after the break Delhi lost Sehwag to an uncharacteristic paddle sweep off the bowling of Symonds and was adjudged leg before wicket. After that Delhi just managed 153 off their allotted 20 overs with Dilshan being the sole performer with 60.

Delhi would have been a bit confident with their bowling as they had a decent attack that performed consistently throughout this series. But their dreams and aspirations was shattered in just one over by veteran opener Gilchrist. He smashed 5 boundaries off that first over of Nannes and Delhi never recovered after that. He went on to make 85 off 35 balls. After this it was just under 5 runs per over for the batsmen to come and the damage was done early.

So it was a fitting opening semi-finale of the IPL2!!

They were one of the semi-finalists in the last year’s IPL but this year they are out of the semis. They are one of the strongest teams in this year’s IPL and had an awful rather unlucky start with two matches being washed out by rain and they lost them by the Duckworth-Lewis method. But somehow they came back strongly to win on some matches and there was a stiff competition between 5 teams like Mumbai, Kings themselves, Rajasthan, Bangalore and Deccan Chargers for the third and fourth spot in the last few games as Chennai and Delhi had already got the first and second spots in the table respectively.

The main reason for the King’s XI exit is as their skipper Yuvraj told, they were haunted by many injuries to many players in the playing eleven. To add to their agony, their batting flopped when their bowling clicked and vice versa. Yuvraj failed to fire throughout the series as he was weighed down a bit by captaincy. The likes of Jayawardene and Sangakkara started finding the touch only in the later part of the series which didn’t help much to their cause. Bowling was mediocre and performance was unpredictable.

On the whole, they were deprived to gain their momentum early in the series by washouts and later when they gained it was all over. But their unpardonable performance against team Chennai in their last league match cost them their berth in the semis.

It’s all over for the defending champions of the Indian Premier League. In this year’s edition they never seemed to be in full flow. During the last year’s edition they lost just the first game against the Delhi Daredevils very badly but after that they never looked back. Under the captaincy of Warne and all-round efforts from the likes of Watson and Yusuf Pathan they were just the best of the tournament last time.

When the Royals sit down to ponder about the reasons for their early exit this time around, they would cite the lack of a good opening combination. Smith was not in the best of his form and Asnodkar couldn’t get going. Also they missed a good all-rounder like Shane Watson who was away because of national duty. Also a lot was expected out of a single man-Yusuf Pathan, he was to do the opening bowling in certain matches and also to carry the burden of scoring heavily in the later overs. They were partially good in their bowling department with Munaf and Siddharth Trivedi doing well in some matches. Also they lost a good fast bowler like Kamran Khan due to injury and he was also suspected for his action.

On the whole it was a very mediocre performance by the Royals in this edition of IPL.

Life is a mad rush for everyone these days and we don’t have enough time to do our routine chores. Even regular eating and sleeping habits have taken a back seat.

In the first edition of the IPL they lost their first four matches but came back strongly towards the end to finish fifth in the table. But this time it was the other way around for them as they started their campaign with an emphatic win over the Chennai Super Kings which also happened to be the opening match of the second edition of IPL.

The prime reason for their early exit this time would be their inefficiency to keep up their momentum to win matches on a continuous basis. They enjoyed the great starts given by Sachin and Sanath early in the tournament but in matches where they got out soon, they struggled very badly and ultimately lost such matches. In the bowling department similar case happened as Zaheer Khan had to sit out due to injury and Lasith Malinga operated as a lone warrior. Harbhajan was totally out of sorts this IPL and was not his usual self. 

It was a bright opening and a dull end for the Mumbai Indians in this year’s IPL.

When we think of who has shone well in this edition of IPL, the answer will be instantaneous – bowlers!!! Though we see scores of around 160s and 180s, the bowlers have made the times of batsmen miserable. In particular the slower bowlers have seen the peak of success.

For the Chennai Super Kings, it has been Murali, Jakati and Raina who have slowed down the rate of scoring when the fast bowlers are leaking runs enormously. For Rajasthan not to mention they have the world’s best bowler as their skipper, Yusuf Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja to give enough variety to the spin department. For Delhi it has been Daniel Vettori who was exceptional at the start of the tournament but started going for runs in the last couple of games. Team Delhi will hope that he would soon be back with a bang. For Deccan it has been Pragyan Ojha and he is consistently among the top contenders for the ‘purple cap’. Harbhajan has not yet clicked for Mumbai Indians and that’s a case of worry for them. Last but not least Anil Kumble is the pick amongst the spin bowlers as he was the one who showed that spin bowlers could be handy and effective this time around with a match winning effort of 5-5 in the second match of this year’s IPL against team Rajasthan.

It is expected that the pitches will get slower and slower as the tournament progresses and the slower bowlers will continue to hold the key.

Right from the start of this season the team had not got good start. First the team’s coach raised many an eyebrows by his idea of multiple captaincy. It was criticized by many cricket pundits and only a few acknowledged it. It was actually felt by many that it was a plan to dethrone Ganguly from the captain’s seat. But to add to the speculation Buchanan and Ganguly attended a press conference to “just show” that they had no issues with each other regarding captaincy. But giving the captaincy to Brendon Mccullum has neither helped their cause.

They started with an awful performance against team Hyderabad and they were thrashed to defeat in that encounter. They tasted a bit of success in the rain-interrupted game against team Punjab where they won by Duckworth Lewis method. But after that they have not won even a single match. The only match they came close was against Rajasthan Royals which ended in a tie and Yusuf Pathan got the match away from them in the Super Over.

The trump card for KKR has been Chris Gayle but his absence is hurting them even further. The batting strength is very mediocre with only a very few batsmen to mention like Mccullum, Brad Hodge, Ganguly, Van der Wyk. The bowling department has Ishant Sharma who has no support from the other end. Spinner Murali Karthik has not got his break yet. The fielding has been there biggest worry as they drop on an average of 2 catches per match.

The team members should put their chin up and play to their potentials atleast for the rest of their matches.

The Most Valuable Player is what that MVP is. And any guesses who will be adjudged the MVP of this year’s IPL??? There has already wild guesses and some possible guesses made around on this issue.

Rajasthan Royal’s Yusuf Pathan is nominated as the strong contender for this coveted title this year as he has won many close matches for his team so far both with the bat and with the ball. His captain has immense confidence in him that he is repeatedly asked to open the bowling and also he was the one chosen to open the batting in the Super Over against team Kolkata in the tied match. But still two men could also be considered as among the front runners. They are Mathew Hayden and Suresh Raina from team Chennai. Both of them are consistent with the bat and Suresh Raina is proving to be a great asset for his captain with his ball too. Suresh Raina has also been outstanding in the field and on the whole he has put up a very good an all-round performance.

So let’s see whether these three keep up the good run so far and lets also wait to see who emerges as the MVP!!!

Talented, competitive and experienced bunch of cricketers under the captaincy of batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, they are actually one of the best sides in both the editions but still could not capitalize on it and finished 5^th last year and struggling for a slot in the top four this year. They had a very brisk start to the tournament winning the mighty Chennai Super Kings but a string of losses has put them on the backfoot.

They have good mix of batting and bowling. You cannot ask for better batting pair than that of Sachin and Jayasuriya who had revolutionized the game in the shorter version. They have the talented and young guns like Shikhar Dhawan, J.P.Duminy, Abhishek Nayar, Dwayne Bravo who can fill in the middle order. But a heavy dependence on the opening duo has made them vulnerable. When it comes to bowling they have the best fast bowlers in Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga and a world class spinner in Harbhajan Singh. Moreover Sachin could bowl himself, Jayasuriya, Bravo, Duminy, Nayar, so lot of options there for them provided they play as aunit and rectify the mistakes they commit in the death overs to win the close encounters.

So, Mumbai Indians are a team to watch out for in the later part of the tournament.

Team Punjab is one of the best teams in the Indian Premier League under the captaincy of prolific Indian middle order batsmen Yuvraj Singh. They are a strong batting side with a mediocre bowling department.

To start with their batting strength, their trump card is for sure their captain Yuvraj Singh. With Yuvraj on song any total is meagre and attainable. Next they have the likes of Simon Katich, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Ravi Bopara, Karan Goel and also Irfan Pathan who can bat a bit. When we look at their bowling strength it is weak right at the moment. They have some of the best bowlers in the world like Brett Lee, Irfan Pathan and Sreesanth. But to their agony Lee is out of form and nursing an injury. Sreesanth is also back from an injury lay-off and Irfan’s performance is not that consistent. They have too good spinners in Piyush Chawla, Ramesh Powar and even Yuvraj can bowl. But both Piyush and Powar are out of sorts as the tournament progresses but Yuvraj has set an example to both of them by taking a hat-trick against team Bangalore.

On the whole the team is expected to post a decent show this time around and might make the semis and it depends on how they perform as team.

Oh yeah! They are the Deccan Chargers team under legendary cricketer Adam Gilchrist. They were totally out of sorts last year as they finished last in the table. But this year they were resurgent to win the first four matches consecutively to top the table. Though after this a couple of games had gone out of their way, they are still one of the strong contenders for the top four slots in the points table.

The team has a balanced proportion of both batting and bowling. To mention about their batting they have some power strikers like Gilly, Gibbs, Symonds, Styris, Dwayne Smith and Rohit Sharma. The middle order is an issue of concern as the likes of Venugopal Rao and others down the order have to fire. When it comes to the bowling department they have two very good fast bowlers in R.P.Singh and Fidel Edwards and an intelligent spin bowler in Pragyan Ojha. Moreover the likes of Venugopal Rao, Rohit Sharma and Suman can also roll over their arms and prove useful as part timers. Rohit Sharma even recently claimed a hat-trick against team Mumbai.

So on the whole they are good mix of talented and experienced cricketers and are one amongst the strong contenders for the title this year.

As the tournament gets down to the wire, more and more nail biting finishes are on the charts for all the cricket fans. Also the constant change in the points table standings without a clear emergence of the top four teams has made the tournament exciting and worth watching barring the disturbances due to rain.

On paper the clear favorites are teams like Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Daredevils, Deccan Chargers and Rajasthan royals to emerge as the main contenders of the top 4 slots in the table. But with T20 cricket anything can happen. Out of these four teams Chennai’s main strength lies in its batting. Delhi has a very good mix of both, Deccan has a good opening pair but the middle order is worrisome. In the case of Rajasthan their captain Warne and Yusuf Pathan who hold the key.

Though team Chennai had a sluggish start to their encounter they are back with a bang with three consecutive wins and if they continue this momentum they are bound to win the title this year.

The champions of the last edition of IPL under the inspirational captaincy of legendary spinner Shane Warne have had a shaky start to the second edition of the second edition. They are also one of the hot favorites for the title this time.

The strengths of the team lie with the innovative captaincy of Warne and his bowling, the opening pair of Smith and Asnodkar, the power hitting of Yusuf Pathan which had previously won games for them single-handedly.

They also have a new find in the left-arm seamer Kamran Khan. The all-round abilities of Ravindra Jadeja and Mascarenhass add value to the lower order.

However there are certain problems clouded over this team as they have not got the ideal starts so far which they consistently managed to get last year. The unavailability of all-rounder Shane Watson has been a big blow to them. If Yusuf does not fire the middle order is left stranded. The bowling of Munaf Patel, Siddharth Trivedi has been an issue to ponder about.

If all the guys unite and play according to the plan under Warne, no one can stop them from winning the title like last year.
