April 11, 2010 Chennai Super Kings scripted a pathetic performance which has left the side in the lurch, at a time when it had started to promise a lot to reach the semi-finals stage in the IPL 2010. Though cricket is game of uncertainties, the IPL 2010 has been throwing more uncertainties through the many twenty 20 games that have been staged so far in the Indian Premier League 2010 championship. Despite a spirited opening partnership between the macho Hayden and an aspiring Murali Vijay, which saw Chennai Super Kings race to 41 in just 4.4 overs, before Hayden was dismissed, the Chennai Super Kings failed to make the best of it, as it struggled to post 138/8 in the allotted 20 overs. Barring Suresh Raina, even the much touted Dhoni failed to make a mark let alone register decent performances in the IPL 2010 championship match against the Deccan Charger. Double digit individual score had become a peak unclimbed by most of the middle order batsmen of Chennai Super Kings. On their part,...

March 29, 2010 The IPL 2010 so far has thrown nerve tingling moments, adrenaline-pumping cricketing events and nail-biting finishes to push the cricket enthusiasts into frenzied fervor, as the IPL twenty 20 matches have almost captured the hearts and imaginations of the fanatics, who eat, breathe and sleep cricket. But not many are aware of the harm that the IPL 2010 is inflicting on the art of cricket, let alone on the future of the game. But it certainly has turned out to be a money-spinner wooing the best talent from across the globe. To look into the daily mode of life that we embrace as of today, we desire a fast turnaround in all our endeavors, with quality taking a backseat. We term it as fashion as we have opted all and sundry as entertainment medium without attaching importance to the artistic flavor that these mediums carry. This, to my knowledge, produces a greater effect on very many entertainment activities, as it has also produced its degrading effect on the art of cr...

Monday, March 22, 2010 In an encounter featuring Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab, the turn of events that gave Kings XI Punjab their first victory can’t be called a real cricketing thriller. In the name of novel ideas, the ‘Super Over’ to decide the winner between the tied contestants in this IPL twenty 20 match looked more of a satirical cricket comedy, though there are still people to swallow such peevish ideas. Be that as it may, the Chennai Super Kings chasing a gettable target of 136 in his IPL match came a cropper in the end, and the Kings XI Punjab has earned their first victory in the IPL 2010. Though Muralitharan wove another of his magical spell on the opponents to put Chennai Super Kings in the path to victory, further fuelled by a rollicking start provided by the tiny Parthiv Patel and the bulky Hayden, it was a shaming defeat at the hands of Kings XI Punjab that has pushed the Chennai Super Kings in a spot of bother. Yuvraj Singh enjoying adulation cricket wi...

Sunday, March 21, 2010 Mathew Hayden with his 43-ball blitzkrieg perked up the hopes of CSK XI fans, as the ex-Australian opener carries a huge burden upon his shoulder when he comes out to bat at the Ferozeshah Kotla against the Kings XI Punjab. The Hayden onslaught has been the cream of the big-hitting crop so far in this IPL 2010, as the Delhi Daredevils were ripped apart by the cannibalistic efforts of Mathew Hayden, whose innings reminded of the more graceful Viv Richards, who had the uncanny knack of tormenting world-class bowlers in their dreams. The Chennai Super Kings are in the driver’s seat even before the start of the IPL 2010 match that is to be played at the Ferozeshah Kotla, as the demoralized Punjab outfit will have to resort to all tricks to make a game out of this IPL 2010 twenty 20 match, particularly with Hayden in top spirits as well as in a big-hitting mood. Though the services of the captain of the CSK XI, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s was missed out in the previous e...
