IPL 2010 – Royal Challengers Bangalore thrash Kings XI Punjab; Placed second in the IPL 2010 Points Table

April, 2 2010

Since the start on March 14, IPL 2010 has witnessed some adrenaline-pumping twenty 20 matches, as the clash for the title has further geared up to offer an entertaining climax. In a match against the Kings XI Punjab, the Royal Challengers Bangalore scored an emphatic win, with Kevin Pietersen and Virat Kohli coming good for the RCB, and in effect guiding the RCB side to a victory to occupy the second place in the IPL2010 points table, next only to the Mumbai Indians.

As the thirst for the IPL 2010 title is hotting up, Mumbai Indians with 12 points seems to be the hot favorites with the RCB securing 10 points staying close behind the heels of the Mumbai Indians. The Delhi Daredevils also with 10 points from 8 IPL 2010 matches scores over the RCB in the Run rate, as it also rates its chances high.

The IPL 2010 is sure to throw further excitement, as the Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Deccan Chargers as well as Chennai Super Kings have been resorting to all sorts of tricks to clinch the fourth spot for the IPL 2010 semi-finals. Whatever be the outcome, and regardless of the mighty team that is going to walk away with the winner’s tile in the IPL 2010, this tourney has certainly been a run-feast for the twenty 20 maniacs, and it has also unveiled some big-hitting innings from the blades of powerful and lusty hitters, of which some were even cannibalistic, and still has a lot in store to excite the modern cricket-viewing fanatics.

As we lay in wait, Mumbai Indians, has stayed as clear favorites to emerge as champions in the IPL 2010 twenty 20 cup.

Ash, Batters Despised Your ‘Mate’ Call

Check, mate was a bugle call from that Grand Master. The batters turned pawns, and he the captor. My Tribe. And when someone from your tribe shatters the illusion of off-spinners being not intelligent and sharp, you owe him, or certainly I owe him an ode to an off-spinner, our tribe. My tribe has done the cricket world proud, time and again. Ash, Ash Wednesday, it was. Remarkably, a reflection perhaps of how off spinners have defied the notion of them being orchestrators of damp squibs. Or of repentance of my tribe as not to have set the score straight with their brains deceiving the brawn with flight. Your clarion call may have come out of the blue, denied you the solemn farewell, and may have invited thunderous denunciations. So, what? You will find succor to know that your tribe celebrates you – one of the hallowed sons of the tribe. Your display of cognitive superiority, mind-game thrillers, and the stamp of off-spinning authority on the field puts you there among the pantheons. Th...

A Little Bird Told Me

The sound of clickety-clack in no way overpowered the urge to take a peep into the gorgeous M.A. Chidambaram stadium. As the train whistled past the stadium, the glimpse of the sanctum-sanctorum with the lush green outfield and the 22 yard strip was just the sight the tired eyes were yearning for. My spirits soared at the mere sight, but did not peak as it should have for the moment of truth was far away. The wait at the stadium for this moment of truth is a nerve-racking ordeal. Minutes, perhaps seconds, would mean a whole day at the stadium waiting for the action to begin. The excitement begins only when two men walk into the field, signaling the start of play. The limelight they hog, for minutes, virtually falls on the men in white as they make the entry. Their tribe counts more sticks thrown at them than the carrots that come as a pittance. Judgmental errors, lack of control, misuse of authority, intoned bias have been the curse for some men of this tribe who have paid a ...

Camaraderie to Come Dearie

The thwacking of the ball echoed across the parking lot. As one soaked in the aura of Lords grounds, some energetic boys plying their trade of cricket were setting up a drama of intense action. There was this little-Dhoni at the batting crease packing all the punches into his shot making. That he had to knock off 8 runs in the last over meant the boy had to carry an old head upon his young shoulders. Cricket and pressure-cooker situations walk hand in hand these days. The thunderbolt from a lanky kid took our little-Dhoni by surprise. The extra bounce did him in. The ball took the faint edge of the blade and the keeper did his thankless job. Little-Dhoni didn't budge, stood his ground and dismissed the idea of the faintest nick. He had made up his mind to win at all cost. That was serious sport indeed. George Orwell's primer on sports came up as the apposite match for this situation. Serious sport and fair play can never meet, said Orwell, and went as far as to say th...
