The Trend and pattern of this year’s IPL would make it a bigger,brighter and bolder hit and would become the talk of the Media and BCCI bigwigs once it ends with the tournament semifinals and finals at Mumbai.Mumbai Indians are doing well this season as they are now at the top of the tree among the 8 teams and the way they are shaping up in the league matches and with a strong crowd support,it seems that they are highly likely to get to the semifinals.And this should add more crowd to the already expected full houses in semifinals and final.
Delhi Daredevils beating Bangalore and the yesterday’s Rajasthan win against Deccan chargers,who seemed like gaining momentum has now brought the IPL to a more level playing field.Chennai,Punjab and Kolkata are the teams that need to play the catchup cricket to bring more spice and competitiveness at the pretty long league stage of this tournament.
Rajasthan Royals who looked hopeless in their opening matches have won three matches in a row and its quite surprising,how with much depleted personnel and no big stars this team has been coming back from behind in all the three tournament and giving a real run for the money to all top teams.
Yesterday’s win against Deccan Chargers all but confirms one fact that if the pitch is low,slow and turning like a typical indian wicket at the end of the season,Then Royals always seems to have the extra edge in their attack going against any team.Oh boy did yusuf pack a punch with 8 sixes and he made the match a no contest by winning the match around 15th over itself.This made sure that they have now moved to the third position in the points table.Royals have a very definite chance of making to the finals with their clear advantage at home where they can beat any team with high chances.Warne bowled with a purpose ,Tait with the real speed and his fullness of length and the Indian contingent is shaping up nicely in their backyard for the Royals.Let’s hope they keep this run going which would only add excitement to the already available flavour.
