Yet another eventful IPL week

IPL 4 lacks the spark of IPL 3, and no I am not talking about the post-match parties, well not only about them. :P This past week of IPL saw many Indian cities clashing on the cricket field, a series of good performances and as expected, a series of disappointers. While it is clear that Gambhir needs to draw some inspiration from his name, Virat needs to raise the standards of his game. Warney dear and his Hurley dear have, I should say, been the most attractive and beautiful parts of the IPL so far. The affairs of the rich and famous, sigh!

Anyway, Mumbai Indians have emerged this time as a very organized team, a formidable side. It snapped Chennai, Deccan Chargers, Pune, Bangalore and also made Delhi a victim. Delhi managed a win after three easy losses. It got the better of Punjab in an easy match only after falling down to Deccan Chargers, Rajasthan and Mumbai!

It’s interesting how IPL teams show completely different colours in each season every year…. It is not so easy to draw theories about them, and in these ever-changing colours, IPL teams also display how colourful really the game of cricket is and why we love it so. Among the new teams, Kochi is the one that is grabbed eyeballs. It is the only team to have beaten Mumbai Indians this season.

The same people we expect a lot from have made us proud again – Chris Gayle blazed it up with a century off 55 balls and Shakib shot 22 off 9! SRK.....well...i did tell you virtually to take Gayle...never mind...things will go well

This looks like a healthy IPL…one that as always promises nice incomes to the players who don’t otherwise get a chance but are not least talented. J
Ho IPL!
