CSK Pack Too Much Punch Against Hapless Mumbai Despite a Challenging Total

 April 19, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

For the second match running, Mumbai Indians batted first after winning the toss. But the script was the same. Their top order collapsed like it did in the previous match. This was the third time that MI’s later order batsmen came to the rescue after the earlier batsmen had brought the innings to a pathetic […]

 April 17, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

What looked like a straightforward match for Rajasthan Royals for most part, turned into a late drama and ended in the last-ball finish at Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam on Thursday. Rajasthan Royals had done everything right after winning the toss. They sent Sunrisers Hyderabad in and restricted them to 127, the […]

IPL Match 10: Scratchy Batting from KXIP Lends Daredevils a Win after 11 Consecutive Losses in IPL

 April 17, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

Except Mumbai Indians, the remaining 7 teams have won at least one match this season. Yesterday, it was the turn of Delhi Daredevils, who restricted Kings Eleven Punjab to 165, which wasn’t commensurate with the firepower that the KXIP team is packed with. However, they still had a good foundation in the 14th over with […]

Meandering Mumbai Mauled by Smith after They Commit Hara-Kiri Earlier

 April 15, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

What Steven Smith did to MI bowlers was an event that was a sequel to Mumbai’s own initial blunders and some misfortune. Rohit Sharma and Mumbai’s top-heavy think-tank decided to bat first. In all likelihood, if they had lost the toss, Smith would have asked them to bat first as well. That is a conjecture […]

IPL Match 8: Warner Wins Batting Battle Against Gayle as SRH Edge Out RCB

 April 14, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

Any IPL team playing against Royal Challengers Bangalore can come good if they take out Chris Gayle early. The cheap dismissal of the giant West Indian offers the opponents a huge psychological advantage because the guy is capable of wreaking havoc, when he is well-settled. It happened in RCB’s first match against the Kolkata Knight […]

Hard-Nosed Harbhajan Hangs on to Hinder Heavy Loss for MI in IPL-8’s Match #7

 April 14, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

Last year’s runners-up Kings XI Punjab scored their first victory of the new IPL season but contrary to early indications, the win didn’t come as easily as it first appeared. The visitors to India’s maximum city had to endure some seriously anxious moments as one man literally pulled the rug from under their feet. Mumbai […]

11th Straight IPL Defeat for Daredevils Comes in Last-Over Thriller Against Royals

 April 13, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

It was the one match Delhi Daredevils should have won. Dealing with Chris Morris and Tim Southee at finish was not the same as bowling against Rahane, Faulkner or Hooda but despite his vast international experience as a player and captain of Sri Lanka, Angelo Mathews could innovate nothing in his last over for Delhi […]

CSK Vs SRH and RCB Vs KKR: Explosive Batting from Big Boy Brendon and Galloping Gayle Ensure Wins for Their Teams

 April 12, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , , ,

In the 4th and 5th IPL matches played on Saturday, the results solely depended on the tear-away batting explosions from CSK and RCB openers; Brendon McCullum and Chris Gayle. In case of McCullum, his 100 not out off 56 balls was the cornerstone of CSK’s 209 runs and although Sunrisers Hyderabad began well with David […]

All-round Faulkner Show Take Rajasthan to Easy Win Over Kings XI Punjab

 April 11, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

The match between the Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab at the MCA stadium Pune on Friday was akin to the Australian World Cup winning stars splitting themselves in two groups and playing one another. Shane Watson was a non-starter as he picked up a niggling injury but the stand-in captain, Steven Smith has collected […]

IPL 8 Auctions: The Curious Case of a 2.67 Million Dollar Baby Called Yuvraj Singh

 February 18, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , ,

If Yuvraj Singh is really as good as his final IPL bid, then why is he not in Indian squad for the 2015 Cricket World Cup? The Punjab cricketer served just one season at Royal Challengers Bangalore, who bought him last year for ₹140 million but released him at the end of the season, why? […]
