Players to Watch….

Kieron Pollard

                        A Tailor-Made T20 Player who bats well and his fielding was fantastic throughout this tournament. Hope he will continue his good run.

J Botha

                        An controversial off-spinner who turned out to be a top-order batsmen in this tournament and he did some good performances..

Trivia

Ø      In six matches, Kieron Pollard has got to bat in only three innings, has faced only three balls, and is yet to score his first run

Ø      Shane Warne has moved past Pragyan Ojha and is now second in the all-time highest IPL wicket-takers list. RP Singh, with 56 wickets, is three ahead of him

Once Upon a Time…

Munaf Patel(RR---> MI)

A Rahane(MI---> RR)

Mic Testing 1..2..3..

Harbajan Singh - "He(Rayudu) is definitely one of those guys who can fulfill the shoe of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman. This might be a slightly, I mean people must be thinking that what Bhajji is saying today but this is what I feel that he has got the capability to fulfill those big shoes," 

Ashok Menaria - "This will be the first time I'll play against Sachin. I'll try to have a word with him. It would be great, if I can pick up some tips from him."

Pitch Conditions

Ø      Helps for swing bowing.

Ø      Chasing is the easy one .
