On Sunday the Indian Premier League matches were supposed to be for the sake of playing only ,  but Saurav Ganguly , captain of Kolkata Knight Riders showed why he has been the most successful captain of India . He has a never give up attitude and scored 86 off 53 although he was running short of partners and took Kolkata to a win against Kings XI Punjab where only Sangakara amd Marsh manged to fire up . Kings XI scored 174 for 6 and Kolkata finished at 175 for 6 . If the team combination is managed well next year , Kolkata Knight Riders will be a team to watch out for . On a happy note , Shoiab Akhter has announced that the gold helmet presented to the players by the owner Shah Rukh Khan will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to charity . This is a helmet in 24 carat gold sighned by Shoiab Akhter and Shah Rukh Khan - so watch out for it on e-bay .

Dravid restored some pride for Banglore Royal Challengers by beating Deccan Chargers who have remained at the bottom of the league through out the tournament . I am sure players like Gilcrest and Gibbs will not tolerate this next year and will ( hopefully ) advice the owners to buy some good bowlers , because that is where they lacked . It is very surprising to see a team with Adam Gilcrest in it at the bottom of the table . Still by winning thier last game , Dravid proved that he has still got it . But the man who did it for me is Akhil who fired 27 off just 7 balls - where were you all this time ?

Who will join the final 4 - Mumbai have to win both their matches otherwise Delhi will edge in .
