Its time for the BIG one!


Ipl with all its unexpected twists and turns has come to an end with Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings becoming the champions, after defeating Sachin's strong team Mumbai Indians. A highly controversial season, IPL 3 had all action on and off the field. On one hand, we had the cricketers playing the right games on the field, and on the other hand, IPL chairman Lalit Modi has been in action off the field too. From the Kochi franchise case to charges of Match Fixing against him and then his suspension on the final day of IPL has not ended and Modi still hasn't had his final match. His innings seems to be a long one and he has to face all balls with the googly, yorker or a full toss.

As BCCI and Modi figure out the basics of their match, its time for our Indian team now to give their hundred percent. On April 30th, starts the big tournament, the T20 World Cup. Again led by Dhoni, the Indian supporters are hoping the captain to give the same result as he did to his team in IPL. Though Dhoni and company are still muddling around fitness issues and less rest time, the current form of certain Indian players in the IPL is giving him the confidence that his team will do it.

With so much action happening in the cricket fraternity, the cricket fans have no time to blink their eyes. They are glued to their TV sets observing all action ball by ball and hoping for their team's ballistic performance in T20 World Cup 2010.

Here is wishing Dhoni and his men Good Luck for the BIG one! Go get it Guys!

The winning streak is back with the captain for DD!


Delhi supporters have all the reasons to smile as Delhi has won three games consecutively, after Gauti's return and have made quite a comfortable position in the points tally. They currently stand at No.3, with 10 points and if the winning streak continues for another couple of games, they'll be through to the semis.

If we notice, this winning spree started as soon as Gautam Gambhir got back from Sri Lanka. Though in the first win, he wasn't playing, but was back and watching the match closely. So, is Gauti a lucky charm for DD, or is he such a great captain that the team misses him so badly in his absence that they lose matches. Well, whatever the reason be, the regular skipper is back and in the last game against Rajasthan Royals, he played quite a sensible innings with Dinesh Karthik batting in a ballistic manner at the other end.

Considering, that the wins started when Gauti got back, it won't be wrong to say that the captain got the winning streak back for his team and now, Delhi supporters ask for more wins and see their team on top. Delhi has been twice unlucky after reaching the semis and this year, they would like to not just make it to the finals but also be the champions of IPL3. But this IPL has become completely unpredictable, with each team giving the other one a tough competition at every level. Each match is changing the team positions in the tally table. Thus, each team still has a lot to do, including Delhi Daredevils!
