Players to Watch….

Chris Gayle

                        If The Jamaican Giant starts to smash, the opponent should set the boundary line up from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

His Off-Spin will be a handy one.

J Ryder

                        A Busty Wellington batsman who opens well for the Pune warriors till now, waits to smash the bowlers over the cover.

Trivia

Ø      Virat Kohli, with 227 runs to his name, is 43 short of claiming the orange cap

Ø      Rahul Sharma's 6.04 an over is the fourth-best economy-rate among bowlers who have bowled a minimum of 10 overs. Daniel Vettori, Yusuf Pathan and Doug Bollinger are ahead of him

Mic Testing 1...2...3...

Yuvraj Singh - "We didn't apply our brains while batting. We kept on making the same mistakes again and again."

Virat Kohli - “In earlier games we did try pinch-hitters (Asad Pathan and Zaheer Khan) up the order and I told the coach (Ray Jennings) that there was no need for that. I maintain that there is no need to change the batting order. Instead of thinking what the opposition thinks, it is better we stick to our plans and the batsmen should be good enough to handle what the opposition does at this level,”

Pitch Conditions

Ø      Not easy to field under the lights.

Ø      Chasing is the best one.
