Delhi dare devils fail and so do Chennai
RECORDS are being set in this wanderfully organised Indian Premier League .
Sohail Tanvir the first bowler to take a six wicket haul in the IPL ( in fact in the history of Twenty20 ) Rajasthan Royals , the only team with no coach and the only team with a non-Indian captain and consedered the under-dogs have now had five straight wins to get to the top of the table . WELL DONE RAJASTHAN ROYALS .
Shoiab Akhter has been given a window to play in the IPL by the Pakistan Cricket Board , They have conviniently lifted the ban on him until the next hearing which is to be held on the 4th June . This now lets IPL let him in and Akter will now play for Kolkata Knight Riders ( subject to fitness ) They will have a combination of Akter and Ishant Sharma - maybe their skills will turn Kolkata's fortune . How will Shoiab play under Saurav Ganguly ?
Mumbai Indians easily beat Delhi Dare Devils in the 23rd Indian Premier League match . For Delhi , Shewag was the only one who gave a respectable performace with 40 off 20 but 133 for 10 was never going to be enough and this was easily accomplished by Mumbai Indians with Jayasurya and captain Shaub Pollock scoring at 2 a ball to take the Mumbai Indians to a win .
In the second match today , the 24th in the Indian Premier League , Warne's Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kngs comfortably . Chennai Super Kings could only manage 109 for 10 with A Morket scoring the highest at 42 off 33 while Rajasthan Royals easily scored 110 for 2 in 14.2 overs .
Graham Smith ( 35 off 44 )and Asnodkar ( 32 off 30 ) took them onto a win ; Asnodkar is a very impressive player .

There is no doubt that both teams played good cricket. But I think that it was Sehwag’s wicket that helped Mumbai Indians win the match. Otherwise it would have been the other way. I am sure that DaredDevils would certainly bounce back. With Sehwag’s captaincy and the perfect team combination they will win the IPL. btw they also have their own blog where they blog about their team players and matches. http://www.delhidaredevils.com/blog/
