IPLT20.com goofs up
IPL has so far witnessed 6 matches. I am not sure where Daredevils played 10 matches. This is a goof up on the IPL’s official website IPLT20.com. Please check the picture below.
The politically correct term for this goof up is typo or typing mistake. But I like goof up better.
Rajastan Royals win in style
Shane Watson sent the ball packing to boundary and Punjab team to Uppal, Hyderabad. Commendable batting display from Watson and the young Ravindra Jadeja. Punjab was short of 20 runs atleast. They dont have to go too far to look at what went wrong. Answer would be found in Yuvraj Singh and his obsession with the sweep [...]
Rajastan Royals chase is on
I have almost written this team off the competition. Boy, was I wrong. Royals came back strongly from the humiliating defeat from Daredevils. This is a good sign for the competition. This actually opens the competition wide open. My predictions went wrong earlier and I am not predicting anymore.

Sree, Shanth Ho Ja

Now, Kaif was out to a nick off Sreesanth’s ball. What surprised me the most is Sreesanth’s antics (should I call it gig) after he [...]
Pathan drops Pathan
Irfan Pathan of Kings XI Punjab dropped his brother Yousuf Pathan playing for Rajastan Royals of what seemed to be a simple catch at the international level. It did not make a difference as Yousuf Pathan was out for a low score.
What are brothers for.

Disappointed Deccan Chargers, ecstatic Royal Challengers
That’s two predictions that went wrong. I thought Deccan Chargers will win. They did not. I thought Royal Challengers will not win. They did.
That’s the beauty of Twenty20 cricket. There is no clear winner until the last ball is bowled and there is no clear favorites to the tournament. Though I still feel Deccan Chargers [...]
