In the 34th Indian Premier League match between Punjab Kings XI and Banglore Royal Challengers , Dravid's Banglore tean were thrashed , yet once again . Banglore Royals managed 143 for 8 whilst Preity Zinta's Kings XI scored 144 for 1 .

It is reported that Vijay Malaya has made statements to the effect that it was Charu and Rahul who made the choice of the team and he was not involved in this ( abondaning a sinking ship ? ) - Why were you at the auction ? The team's poor performance in the IPL is probably due to bad selection of team , although i feel that the combination is not so bad . It is just that the players have not been able to get the performance and possibly the right motivation . Rahul Dravid is an excellent cricketer ( world class ) and a superb human being , but he is just not the right motivator . In any case it is not fair for Mr Malaya to step away and put the blame on others . You are the boss and ultimately the buck stops with you .

Rajastahn Royals are very well led by Shane warne and are doing well beating Deccan Challengers and Delhi Dare Devils - confortably .

With Ganguly's 91 , he has brought some pride back to Kolkata Knight Riders ( and some hope to Shah Rukh Khan )
