DLF Indian Premier League

JOHANNESBURG: Kings XI Punjab captain Yuvraj Singh though backed himself at a decisive moment that suited in the match, claimed a owned hat-trick, kept his better cool under pressure in the death over to thus stop Rohit Sharma from pinching a better second fairytale victory in two days that in the DLF Indian Premier League here on Sunday.

Yuvraj Singh’s second hat-trick that of the tournament, straddling though two overs, saw him a claim the wickets of Herscelle Gibbs, and Andrew Symonds and Venugopal Rao to star a  in his team’s successful defence of their below-par score that of 134 for seven in 20 overs. Of course that  Irfan Pathan emerged hero too by bowling Rohit Sharma that with a slower one in the final over.

The result that allowed Kings XI Punjab stay in the hunt for a semifinal place right with 14 points from 13 matches, the same as Deccan Chargers. Kings XI Punjab have that  game on hand against Chennai Super Kings (May 20) while in IPL 2009 Deccan Chargers’s final game will be against Royal Challengers Bangalore (May 21).

Cape Town: Sachin’s innings that against Chennai Super Kings in just opening game of the DLF IPL Season 2 was entirely fantastic. Considering that the Newlands pitch and also about the weather, I personal think that his innings was more imperative. It obviously deserve the man of the match award cause. Given into the way the pitch has behaved for the next first six overs, Sachin had to just carry his bat all the way through the innings particularly after Sanath Jayasuriya was when dismissed.

frequently in a Twenty20 game the pitch and also the conditions don’t matter so much but Saturday was so different. There was malleable bounce and the ball was also stopping and coming. The CSK bowlers be supposed to have got wickets in just those conditions but they did not get so enough. MS Dhoni had opened the bowling with Thilan Tushara and Manpreet Singh Gony hoping just that the helpful conditions would thus make help even his lesser bowlers. In theory, he was right but the reality is that everything went against him. His batsmen batted when the conditions were better and yet failed to get to the target.

It was so special match for player both MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar. It was that moment Dhoni won the Twenty20 World Cup and next it was here in the South Africa that Sachin Tendulkar scored more runs than anybody else to take India to road to the World Cup final in 2003.

After a huge pressure from the IPL and the ECB that is expected to offer a three week window right after the end of the West Indies tour also and before the start of the summer series that against the same opposition. The IPL are also demanding the window should be available for 2 years at least, and a demand likely to be get agreed. But will the IPL stint assist for it the England players? The evidencethat surely is clear that the IPL will assist ipl players. It has donegreat so for the Indians who are competing in these event

There is no doubt that it would improve their chances in the twenty20 world cup, but how would it affect their from in other forms of cricket. The IPL stint means that players won’t have played a first class game in England this year before the West Indies Test series. Looking at the quality of the position that shouldn’t be a problem. Ahead of the Ashes you would want to play as much competitive cricket as possible, which would help more, a twenty20 tournament or county Championship games. The players believe the IPL stint will provide more benefits
