IPL so far

By
If there is a world outside of cricket, we have no interest in it what-so-ever. At least not right now, thank you very much. It is all happening here and it has been great so far, hasn’t it?
The IPL T20 league tournament has always been a big event so to speak. This year is the tenth edition. It is all the more special. The concerned authorities have made it all the more special with a bigger budget.  With eight opening ceremonies, they have pulled out all the stops to make this year a truly memorable one.

Let us see what has happened so far.

Eight teams – Hyderabad, Kolkata,  Punjab, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, and Gujarat – are part of this extravaganza this year. This specific order is taken based on the current points table. One of the best parts of the tournament is that you do not have to wait for the final for a close and thrilling match. We have had a couple of thrillers and it has been just five days since the first match. We have a lot to look forward to, don’t we?

In the very first match that was played on 5th April, Hyderabad beat Bangalore by 35 runs. Considering that this is the shortest version of the game, a 35 run margin is quite large. One of the most one-sided matches was Kolkata versus Gujarat. Kolkata won by ten wickets. And then again, they were also part of a thriller last night that they lost to Mumbai where only one ball was left.

Seven matches are over. There have some brilliant catches, and not so brilliant drops. Tahir, who was unsold at the auctions turned out to be the magician with the ball. Pollard Power took over for a session. Rashid Khan, the player from Afghanistan, surprised all with three wickets and a run out. Chris Lynn, Steven Smith, and Gautam Gambhir are amongst the top scorers. Shikhar Dhawan not only showed his batting skills but also flew through the air to pick up an astounding catch.

 A lot of skills are being displayed. A lot of money is at stake. It is fun. It is stressful. It is exciting.
A lot more can be expected. Don’t forget to choose your players on our fantasy app before every match.

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four.  Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four.  Key Points  MI has never won their opener since 2013. This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League  DRS used in the league for the first time  Bravo : It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for
