IPL Buzz !!!

After 2 weeks of IPL 3.0 there's no clear favourites for the semi-final. However a few teams Bangalore and Mumbai are already termed as favourites because of their consistent performance and also being on top of the league table for the whole week.

• The match of the week, and so far of the tournament was the tied match between Kings XI and Chennai Super Kings. The latter choked horribly and screwed up the proceedings in the super over.
• The battle of toppers Mumbai v/s Bangalore the latter emerged as winners steered by good performances of Kallis and Vinay Kumar.
• Rajasthan Royals were back in limelight with hat-trick wins. They are still in the contest. With yesterday’s victory over Deccan Chargers they have definitely made a statement to their critics.
• Preity Zinta turns philosophical and says “It’s the journey that matters not the destination”. Looks like she’s already given up hopes of her struggling team making into semi-finals.
• The team to beat Bangalore Royal Challengers were beaten convincingly by rejuvenated Delhi Dare Devils.
• Jacques Kallis finally got his average as he was dismissed for the first time CSK’s bowler Laxmipati Balaji.
• It was a hopeless week for KKR and CSK as they failed to win even a single match.
• The Karbon kamal catch of the week was by DDR’s AB de Villiers. It was absolute stunner when caught Praveen Kumar attempted ‘DLF maximum’ just feets away from long-on boundary.
• The daemon of ‘team-selection” for T-20 was running over everyone’s head. Robin Utthappa was unfortunate to miss the bus but the biggest gainer was Vinay Kumar after his back to back good performances against Mumbai and Chennai. The 3-wicket over against MI, which in fact turned the match would have brought him under selectors microscope.
• The other talking point of week was auction two new teams for season-4. Pune(Sahara group) and Kochi(Rendezvous Group) emerged as winners
