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.

Key Players: India - England

By
When there is nothing left, you will play for pride. That is what India has to do tomorrow. Considering the fact that the match is taking place in Mumbai. Do it for them. Do it for us.  England and Australia will meet each other at the finals on 31st March. India and England are more than likely to go in with the same playing eleven.
India Terribly low on morale, the team will now have to give it their all. They need to know that they are much better than this.

England The team has been doing really well since day one. They will now consider this as a practice match. But they will want to win and go to the finals with confidence. They were thumped by Australia earlier in what can be called as a one-sided game. They want to win this tomorrow.

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

By
The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…
