Gilchrist and Deccan : Made for IPL

Wanderers become the witness of the miraculous performance by the hyderabadi boys. It was a cheerable moment for the Gilchrist and teammates when Royal Challengers couldn’t make the last 6 runs needed on the very last ball of the Final game in the IPL 2.

It is the successive year when the team that is considered out of the tournament, have won the game and rose to the sky heights. In 2008 , Rajasthan Royals were nowhere in the race and finally they made it by winning first ever IPL trophy to their name. And this time in the year 2009, Deccan Chargers that stands 8^th in the last year, have won the IPL season 2.

Congratulations to Gilly and his boyz for becoming the IPL champions. Nobody can forget the great knock played by Gilchrist in the semi-final against Delhi Daredevils. 85 of 35 deliveries, Amazing……..Keep it up Deccan.

Rajasthan Royals back in form, beaten Delhi Daredevils

Rajasthan Royals are hitting it hard this time after the match with Delhi Daredevils on 28th april. Again the Royals are back in form exactly when they were supposed to be out of the tournament. In the morning Sehwag won the toss and took batting first. Again a bad open for the Delhi Daredevils, both openers were gone till 25 on the scorecard. AB de Villiers and the tail enders took some charge and finally AB de Villiers could manage up to 143/7 in 20.0 overs.

Chasing a low total, Rajasthan Royals were also not good in the start of the game. But from one end, Graeme Smith was holding line, who made 44 of 46 deliveries. And then comes the finisher, the superhero of 2008 IPL, Yusuf Pathan hit 61 of just 30 balls. These 61 includes the really big six sixes. Thus the score was 147/5 in 18.3 overs. Rajasthan Royals beat Delhi Daredevils by 5 wickets.
