My Favorite IPL Team for the Indian Premier League 2010!
Mar 10, 2010 Sports
Friends as you were aware (http://www.inewsindia.com/2009/04/18/my-favorite-ipl-team-for-this-session/) that last year I supported Delhi Daredevils, although they did very well and stand the number one team as far as the points table was concerned (IPL 209 Points Table), but they were unable to hold the trophy.
Twenty 20 cricket is really unpredictable game, and Indian Premiere League is really the best of the thrills of the fatafat cricket. Both the winners of the earlier versions of IPL, i.e. Rajasthan Royals of the IPL 2008, and Decccan Chargers of the IPL 2009 were underdogs and no one predicted them as the champions before the beginning of the tournament.
As you all know that my favorite team from the session one was Kolkata Knight Riders, in spite of the fact that they performed poorly in the IPL 1, they were the favorites for me in the year 2009 too. But I removed them from my list of favorite, just because of the insult of my favorite player Dada (Saurav Ganguly). I won’t have any objection with McCullum as the skipper of the team, but the manner in which Dada was removed and the influence of the coach on the team management was worst and so I did not watched a single match played by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the year 2009.
But this year they once again called Dada as the skipper of the team, and hence they are my favorites once again. Other than them, if you really ask me, then Mumbai Indians have fare chances in this version of the Indian Premiere League. With Sachin Tendulkar going through his best form of career, they have the advantage over other teams of the tournament. Probably he is the only player at the moment, whose batting is enjoyed by the entire India.
Every Indian feels proud to see the superb batting of the Master blaster. So in his case only no one think about the team which they are backing in the tournament. Other than him, Mumbai Indians are having the likes of Sanath Jayasuriya who himself is a destructive player, while in bowling department they have the Harbhajan Singh, the number one off-spinner bowler of the present Indian team. Although this format of cricket does not has fair scope for the bowlers, but still Bhajji plays a crucial role in the smaller version of cricket.
Other than these two teams Delhi Daredevils is the toughest side in the tournament. With the likes of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, they can defeat any team of the tournament.
Well we all know that it is really difficult to predict the winner of the Indian Premiere League, hence we can only back up the team which is our favorite. So I am excited to back the KKR in the tournament which will begin on 12th of March 2010.

Jun 5, 2009 Entertainment, India, Sports
Hey friends, I am creating this post for you people to wish a warm Best of Luck to the Team India. As you all are aware that 12 cricket playing nations India, Bangladesh, Ireland, Pakistan, England, Netherlands, Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sctland are going to fight for the World Cup in the Twenty 20 cricket format which is beginning today at England.
As you all are aware that Team India is the defending champions and other 11 countries are going to challenge them for the trophy. India is placed along with Bangladesh and Ireland in the Group A, while Pakistan, England and Netherlands are placed together in Group B. The most toughest group of the tournament is the Group C which contains Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies, while the Group D is containing New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland.
At the moment Team India is looking highly capable of retaining the Title. The team at the moment is a bunch of some highly talented youngsters along with some multi talented guys and captained by the Mr. Cool M. S. Dhoni. If you look at the top order then dashing opener Virender Sehwag is there with much talented Gautam Gambhir. This opening pair is the best of all the teams which are playing there. If you give an eye on the middle order then you can truly find India as the World Champions. Middle order of team India is having the firepower in the form of the King of Six Yuvraj Singh, most attacking batsman Suresh Raina, very dependable Rohit Sharma and the skipper himself. Along with them the team has the superb all rounders like Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja and Irfan Pathan. Now if you see the bowling attack then it too have the balance which is very much required for a World Champions team, the seam attack department is there in the hand of Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, highest wicket taker in the IPL 2009 Rudra Pratap Singh and much reliable Praveen Kumar, and then the spin attack is there in the hand of Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha. Remember the team has two batsman who can bowl brilliantly at crucial time, I am talking about Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma, Both has shown their talents in the IPL 2009 by taking the hat-trick in the tournament. Yuvraj Singh took 2 hat-tricks while Rohit Sharma took 1. Now if your team is having these type of players how can you assume them not to retain the trophy. Only thing which can damage the performance of the team India is the overconfidence, which they will have to take care of.
So friends, here is the space where you can wish the best of luck to your favorite Team India especially in your own style. You can post the comment here and this will show them how much you love them and how much you care about the world champions.

We are waiting for a victory in New Zealand from last 41 years, every time whenever Team India visited New Zealand they faced the defeat. Can the Dhoni brigade be able to make history this time?
Tons of expectations are following the current Indian team, but as the conditions in New Zealand is not at all favorable to the teams of the subcontinent. The bouncy pitch and fast wind all these things are against the subcontinent batsman, as they have practiced on a slow pitch and they are having the history of failure on bouncy pitch.
So the Team India under the captanicy of Mahender Singh Dhoni can be able to tackle the fast balls and bouncy pitch. One of the most eagerly awaited cricket series in New Zealand over the last few seasons gets underway tomorrow with the first of two Twenty20 internationals.
The second Twenty20 is scheduled on 27th February. Then there are five One Day Internationals between the two country. After the ODI series three test matches are also scheduled between the two countries. When last time Team India visited New Zealand, Kiwis defeated India in both the format of the game.
This time Team India is with some of the great in form players like Sehwag, Gambhir, Raina, Yuvraj, and the skipper Dhoni himself. In bowling department too India is having Zaheer, Ishant, and Harbhajan, and this is the second half of the summer - which is generally warmer and relatively free of rain, so the conditions can favor Team India a bit too.
So the war is beginning from tomorrow and you can check the Latest Cricket News and live Cricket Updates from these sites.

India Faced an Embarrassing defeat in only T20 match between India and Australia!
Feb 1, 2008 Sports
India faced an embarrassing defeat in the only Twenty 20 match between India and Australia. Australia bind up the World Champions for a lowest total of 74 only.
India won the toss and elected to bat first, lost his first wicket in the very first over in the form of Virender Sehwag for a duck, who was the most experienced among all the batsman.
Then the line came up and Pathan was the top scorer by scoring 26 runs. A target of 75 in 20 overs to the ODI and Test World Chaps, was not so big.
Australia easily achieved the target by just loosing the only wicket of Adam Gilchrist. This was the last appearance of the veteran batsman wicket keeper in the form of T20.
