After two weeks of Intense cricket among mostly balanced teams,IPL 2010 looks to be going to
neck close finish at the end of the first round of matches.with Rajasthan Royals opening their account with a win against kolkata in a clinical fashion and Kings XI punjab winning a humdinger against Chennai in a match that went the only way for a chennai win till the 30 overs of the match.
With all the teams getting equal as the initial momentum gained by Kolkata and Delhi brought down in the last week of the IPL,the Points table is bound to be more volatile and lots of permutations and combinations are going to come in the next few weeks.
The One team which has the services of Mr.Consistent Kallis are right now looking an inch ahead of all team with their balance as well as with the South African Allrounder.He is the Orange Cap holder for most runs and he is way ahead second placed sehwag at this point of time.And the Icing point on the cake is that his 265 runs have come without getting out in all the 4 Innings he played as a opener.Copybook Cricketing Shots combined with Muscle power is the hallmark of all his innings and it has proved wrong that he is too aged for Twenty20 and also T20 is not all about slam banging the ball.
To add to all the above,he has bowled some crucial spells with the ball getting 4 wickets and bowling 15 overs in a quoto of 16 overs for 4 matches is itself a speaking point that he is also such a vital member of RCB’s bowling arsenal.
It is quite a surprise that this guy with multidimensional capabilities was left out of the Inaugaral T20 worldcup and that too at his homeland in south africa.Boy didn’t the southafricans miss him during the Supersix tie against India when they were knocked out by a huge margin.
