Curtains for IPL 2.0

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 0 comments

The second edition of cricketing extravaganza ended on last Sunday with Deccan Chargers emerging as champs. Eventhough this edition didn't have the novelty factor there was more masalas on the ground, thanks to many close contests. And the final standings were even more amusing . The teams which finished at 7th and 8th in season-1 became runners-up and winners respectively in season-2 :) The nail biting final match was follwed by closing ceremony featuring Bollywood bombshell Katrina Kaif.

Some thoughts about the league:

  • Off the ground the most controversial team was Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) first it was due to multi-captaincy theory and later part of the tournament it was because of FIP's - Fake IPL Player's insider story hilarious blogposts.
  • The venue was shifted to South Africa in last minute due to security concerns in India due to schedule overlap with Indian Lok-Sabha elections. So with respect to venue the event was essentially International Premier League.
  • According to Times of India report this time all the franchise are in green despite the fact there were losses due to last minute shift in venue. The following table sums up the things in detail.


So it's curtain for the week.. We will be blogging occasionally in this space about stuffs directly on indirectly related to IPL
