TENDULAKAR AND DRAVID STILL GOT IT

The Indian Premier League produced one of the closest matches and a very exciting one at that between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab . Mumbai should have won this game but for last minute brilliant fielding from Yuvraj Singh on behalf of Kings XI . Tendulakar scored 65 off 46 showing that he has still got a lot of cricket left in him , but despite that Kings XI Punjab beat them by 1 run , Marsh ( 81 off 56 ) and Pomersbach ( 79 off 50 ) were the highest scorers for Kings XI .

After the match Yuvraj complained of the crowds behaviour towards them . What do you expect - you are in Tendulkar's home ground .

In the second match between Chennai Superkings and Banglore Royals , Dravid was the higest scorer with 47 off 39 , The scores were low with Banglore finishing at 126 for 8; giving the victory to Chennai on a platter but except for Flemming ( 45 off 39 ) no other player really performed and Banglore reduced Chennai Superkings  to 112 for 8 restoring some pride for Banglore .
