Final of IPL 2009 - Deccan Chargers Vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

IPL 2009 is going to end today with a new winner. Making everyone astonished, the two teams in the bottom of IPL 2008 rushed to the final of IPL 2009. Rajasthan Royals, the 2008 champions were out early from 2009 and other top teams too couldn't make it to finals.

May 24, 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa
Start time : 14:30 GMT, 20:00 in India

Deccan Chargers lead by Adam Gilchrist with almost the same team as in 2008 is going be at least the runner-up of 2009. The only change in the team was handling of captaincy to Gilchrist from Laxman. But it was not actually a change as Gilchrist acted as the captain in most matches of 2008 as laxman was unfit. Deccan Chargers started the 2009 season with 4 wins in first four matches but then started loosing. Finally, they qualified with 14 points in 4th place ahead of Kings XI Punjab.

Bangalore on the other hand tried to make big change by buying Kevin Pietersen- the most expensive player in the team. But he proved to be useless and the players of 1st season like Kallis and Kumble proved to be vital. Kumble's Captaincy has too been praised. Jesse Ryder, the other big change in team was also a great flop. Kallis, Dravid and Kumble who were also in fist season helped the team in reaching the finals.

Finally,
Player to watch out in the fianal of IPL 2009:

Adam Gilchrist: Gilchrist is a man in tremendous form. His inning in the semis was superb. And remember the fact that when it comes to finals, Gilchrist shows his best performance. Remember the finals of World cup 1999, 2003 and the most important - 2009.

Manish Pandey: The man who smashed 114 runs in the league match against Deccan Chargers, Manish Pandey seems to be in great touch. He was also great in the semi-final against Chennai.

RP Singh: RP Singh is the highest wicket taker of IPL 2009. He has shown great bowling taking wickets in regular interval.

Jaques Kallis: Kallis is the highest runs scorer for Bangalore. It is mainly due to Kallis which has helped Bangalore win so many matches.

Along with great opening from players like Gilchrist and Hayden, IPL witnessed useful middle-order batting from players like Raina, Rohit Sharma, Dilshan, de Villers, Yusuf Pathan, Jayawardene and great finishing from batsmen like Dinesh Karthik. Hayden was definitely the best of all with more than 500 runs in IPL 2009. Here are a list of top batsmen of IPL 2009:

1. Matthew Hayden: The Aussie who has already retired from international criket proved that age doesn't matter when you are hungry for cricket. With 549 runs in 12 matches at an average of 55, Hayden was the best player for his team Chennai Super Kings as well as in whole IPL 2009.

2. Adam Gilchrist: Aniother retired Aussie who captained his team Deccan Chargers and took them to the final played a vital role in the development of team which was last in the previous version. His 82 in the semi-final in which he smashed 50 off just 17 balls was one of the best batting action in IPL 2009.

3. Tilakratne Dilshan: He became a complete surprise package and a bonus in IPL 2009 for his team Delhi Daredevils. He scored 418 runs in in 14 matches at an average of 42. Along with Villers, he played a vital role in leading the team to semi-finals. This Sri Lankan has been an unsung hero in world cricket for long.

4. AB de Villers:Villers scored 465 runs at an average of 52 in IPL 2009 in just 15 matches. He played superb cricket for Delhi Daredevils. His 105 not out became first hundred of IPL 2009 and one of the best innings. This South African showed great form in front of his home crowd.

5. Suresh Raina: Suresh Raina played great Chennai Superkings along with Hayden. His 98 runs inning was so exciting to watch. After making a comeback in Indian team, Raina continued a great form in IPL too.

6. Brad Hodge: Though Kolkata Knight Riders failed continuously in IPL, a batsmen i.e. Hode played superbly in almost each inning. He made 365 runs in 12 matches at an average of 41.

7. JP Duminy:The South African who has been in great form for his country continued his great from in IPL. He was the third most expensive player in IPL second season and he proved his team Mumabai Indians did the right thing by picking him.

Who do you think was the most exciting? Please leave your comment.

Kings XI Punjab VS Bangalore Royal Challengers - LIVE

11th match: Kings XI Punjab VS Royal Challengers Bangalore
Venue: Durban Time: 14:30 GMT, 20:00 India
April 24, 2009

Kings XI Punjab are at the bottom of the IPL league table and following them are Royal Challengers Bangalore at 6th Place. Win in the first match for Bangalore produced a lot of hopes but two continuous losses has reminded us of their game in previous season. Dravid seems to be the only person consistent for the team. On the other hand, in absense of Brett Lee, Shaun Marsh, Taylor and other key players, Punjab seems to be underdogs.

Super over in twenty20 cricket

To broaden the excitement in t20 cricket, the Super overs rule has been introduced. Though test and ODI match can end up in draw, super over prevents twenty20 matches from ending in draw. It has replaced the bowl out rule in which only the bowler had a part to play.

Rules of super over in 20-20 cricket:
1. Each team decides a bowler to bowl and three batsmen to bat during one over named as the super over. The same ball used in the match will be used in super over.
2. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the super over.
3. Team A will score some runs in the first over and team B needs to chase it successfully to win the match. In case, it is unable to chase, team A wins.
3. In case scores are level, the team hitting maximum sixes in the match will win. If its also same, the teams with maximum fours win the match.
4)In case two wickets fell, it is counted as all-out and the total made before loosing the wicket is final.

It has been brought to twenty20 cricket from Standford twenty20. The first international twenty20 in which tie was ended with a super over was New Zealand vs West Indies. In IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight riders, this rule as implemented after with Rajasthan won Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Rajasthan Royals
10th match of IPL at Cape Town - Apr 23, 2009
Match scheduled to begin at 16:45 local time (14:45 GMT).

The defending champions Rajasthan Royals are struggling somewhat after they lost in first match. On the other hand KKR is balanced with 1-1 loss and win. Don't rely on the first match as Royals can comeback easily as they did in the first season. Though they don't have the bowling of Sohail Tanvir and all-rounder Shane Watson, they are famous for the unpredictable results.

Delhi Daredevils didn't have much of play till now in IPL 2009. Only one match was played by them and was not a full match. Delhi beat Kings XI of Punjab in the match played at 19 April. Due to rain the win become comfortable for them but its due to their great play only.

Both the teams are now lead by their new captain and new coach with lots of new enthusiam than in the 1st season of IPL 2008. And their changes seemed to have worked where they were able to register win in the opener of the season IPL. Deccan Chargers were seemed to be in great form going after their 1st match in 2009 where they beat KKR by 8 wickets. The team was performing from every aspects of the games and the boys seemed to be well prepared for the challenges.

RCB who finished 7th in the innugraul IPL season have also started well with the new captain Kevin Pieterson. Bangalore defeated last season's champion Rajasthan. But they lost their second match against the Chennai Super Kings. In the both match played batting seemed to be a great problem in the side who have very great names in the paper. Bwling was tremendous in the 1st match but it came down in the 2nd one. So Bangalore requires the most win here in IPL 2009 to show that they have more than they got in IPL 2008.

Last Say for the Day:
For Bangalore the match is very necessary to win as they have to be with others in IPL 2009. Captain have had some starts but no real magic which is much expected for the day. Some more performance from the payed players like Steyn and Taylor. Ryder could replace Taylor. What about playing Mark Boucher but replacement could be problem.

Deccan Chargers have great batting and bowling line-up and no changes of team can work for this match too.

Points table of IPL 2009

Indian Premier League IPL has kicked off with surprising results along with action packed cricket. IPL has finished its first seesion and except Kolkata Knight Riders everyone seems to be somewhat equal. Deccan was the leader from front but it has now dropped. The IPL standing has been shown by the following league table:



Teams Matches Won Lost Tie/NR Points NRR

IPL Delhi 14 10 4 0 20 0.31

IPL Chennai 14 8 5 1 17 0.95

IPL Bangalore 14 8 6 0 16 -0.19

IPL Hyderabad 14 7 7 0 14 0.20

IPL Mohali 14 7 7 0 14 -0.48

IPL Jaipur 14 6 7 1 13 -0.35

IPL Mumbai 14 5 8 1 11 0.29

IPL Kolkata 14 3 10 1 7 -0.78


From this point in Indian Premier league, one cannot easily expect the end. Any four from the teams may advance to the semi-finals and finally grab the trophy. Kolkata Knight Riders with similar performances will not be able to reach the semis definitely. Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians though leading from front are currently not in great form. Rajasthan Royals after poor opening in IPL has rised up. Delhi seems to be brilliant. Chennai and Punjab too are in some touch.

Shahrukh Khan in Indian Premier League - IPL 2009

Though IPL is cricket, no one can deny that king of bollywood, Shahrukh Khan is one of itsmajor attractions . He is the owner of Kolkata Knight riders which was the most profit-gaining team in IPL 2008. Arguably, this was due to Shahrukh's presence in the team.

Though other bollywood stars like Preity Zinta, Juhi Chawla and Shilpa Shetty are owners of different IPL teams, Shahrukh will remain the no.1 bollywood star in IPL. Apart from being shown in Knight Rider's TV ad, he will be seen in the cricket ground in their matches. More than 100,000 fans had arrived to Kolkata last year to see Knight Rider's matches and him in the ground. This time it is in South Africa but his presence in ground will certainly attract more fans in the matches.

Shahrukh Khan and controversies in IPL:

In IPL 2008, Shahrukh was involved in a lot of controversies including his dispute with Sourav Ganguly, also rules of ICC and the one regarding Rabindranath Tagore. In 2009, the multiple captain theory has brought Knight Riders in news before the start of series. Shahrukh was later involved in the controversy after his reactions about Gavaskar's comments on the theory. Later, SRK said he apologized with Gavaskar.

Shahrukh's presence in IPL is certainly beneficial to cricket as it would attract a lot of bollywood fans. Apart from this, one can never deny the fact that his presence will bring a lot of controversies.. It would be interesting to see his relation with captain Sourav Ganguly, the coach and other IPL players in the new season.
