Editor’s Pick (PSL T20): Multan Sultans - Quetta Gladiators.

By
PSL: 17

Multan Sultans are probably humming the song, “nothing’s gonna stop us now’. And probably nothing is stopping them at the moment. Playing PSL for the first time, this team has exceeded all expectations - even their own - and has come on top in a fabulous way. And they have beaten the defending champions, Peshawar Zalmi, not once but twice. So, if anyone had called their first victory a fluke or beginner’s luck; they have put that thought to rest.



The Sultans have also met Quetta Gladiators before and has defeated them. Humiliated them, rather. Karachi Kings have a prayer of a hope right now of defeating the new kids on the block. Time will tell.

Multan Sultans
Nothing more to say about them. Top of the table with nine glorious points. Has everything going for them. They will stick to their winning combination and winning ways.

Quetta Gladiators
Second last on the table. Meeting the team that beat the defending champions twice. And has lost to them as well. The gladiators need to rethink their strategy if they want to progress in this tournament. They do not want to be stuck at the bottom of the table like Lahore Qalandars.

Key Players
Multan Sultan
Kumar Sangakkara
Shoaib Malik
Imran Tahir
Sohail Tanvir
Ahmed Shehzad

Quetta Gladiators
Sarfaraz Ahmed

TNPL - A Brief Rundown

By
Based on the stupendously successful Indian Premier League is the Tamil Nadu Premier League. This Indian T20 cricket league has been established by the Tamil Nadu State Cricket Association to bring out more and more Natarajans and Washingtons who otherwise do not get a chance to showcase their skill and talent in the world of Cricket. The inaugural edition of the TNPL took place in 2016 and received unexpected and unprecedented success and love. There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL.

Venues 

India Cements Ground, Thirunelveli
NPR College Ground, Dindigul 
MA Chitambaram Stadium, Chennai 


Changes
The purpose of every organization is to make it bigger and better. TNPL is no exception. At the inaugural TNPL 2016, there were the traditional two semifinals and one final. This year will see a format similar to IPL. The finalists are decided by two qualifiers along with one eliminator. This format has proven to be more exciting.…

Editors Pick ( PKL)

Not much cricket happening for the next two days. More time for Kabaddi now. We are in the month of October. Closer to the next round. The status of the teams on the Pro Kabaddi table matter big time now. It is time for the teams to keep an eye on their ranks all the time now. No pressure :)

Let’s take a look at the table. The top three teams in each zone make it to the next level. The points were very close at one point and then apart. Some teams have been super consistent doing well and others, consistently at the bottom of the table. Team A has four teams who are fighting for the next level big time - Gujarat Fortune Giants, Haryana Steelers, Puneri Paltan and U Mumba. Jaipur Pink Panthers and Dabang Delhi are closer to the bottom and will have to do really really well to make a difference. Zone B - the bottom two teams - Bengaluru Bulls and Tamil Thalaivas are not looking too hot. The top four teams are Patna Pirates, Bengal Warriors, U.P.Yoddha and Telugu Titans.

In a crux, any o…
