May 21st, 2008 | By pazz | Category: Top Stories

The Rajasthan Royals did it again. For the ninth time out of eleven matches they ended up on the winning side taking their points tally to 18. With that, all the crazy, highly unlikely mathematical scenarios of the Rajasthan Royals not making it to the semis have gone for a toss. And speaking of mathematical [...]

After being in the will-play-won’t-play situation for more than a month, Shoaib Akhtar made his much awaited IPL debut for the Kolkata KnightRiders, and what a debut it was! Akhtar just ripped through the Daredevil’s top order, taking the first 4 wickets for just 11 runs! He seemed to be in full fit form, [...]

IPL Tickets at Eden Gardens go on sale, damp response

Apr 7th, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: News

The tickets for the 7 matches at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens went on sale today, but were met with less than enthusiastic response. Admittedly, the tickets were on sale today only to the association members, but there are still 31,000 of them. Only 239 of them showed up.
This may also have to do with the legal [...]

With less than 2 weeks to go for the kick off of the IPL, things are not looking good at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, home of the KnightRiders. First, there was this problem over the issue of the tickets, and now comes the latest news that the stadium itself has not been confirmed for the matches.

SRK dragged to court over Kolkata IPL tickets

Mar 27th, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: News

It seems SRK should be named “Should Remain Kontroversial”, ’cause controversy seems to follow him everywhere. The latest news is that SRK has been dragged into controversy involving the tickets at the Eden Gardens for the IPL matches. Cricket Members Forum of Bengal, which is the bunch of elitest members of the Eden Gardens, basically [...]

Mar 25th, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: News

The Kolkata police want to send SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment that owns the Kolkata team a bill for organizing security for all the IPL matches that will be played at Eden Gardens.

Bipasha Basu and Rani in Kolkata Music Video

Mar 24th, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: News

SRK is really bringing bollywood to cricket. He’s apparantly convinced Bipasha Basu and Rani Mukharjee to do some jhatka-matkas in the new Kolkata KnightRider’s team video. I think I would like to watch this ad, instead of the silly zombies-with-viking-helmets-playing-football ads that the Kolkata team has running these days on Sony.
But I think this is [...]

Mar 22nd, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: Teams, Top Stories

What can be said about the KnightRiders? I’m going to resist the very obvious temptation to talk about the name, the burning-viking-helmet from 325 B.C. and the absurd advertisements. Instead, we’ll jump into the technical aspects.
I’m going to come out and say the controversial: The batting lineup looks shaky. Sourav Ganguly is the only recognized [...]

“Knight Riders”? Really?

Mar 12th, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: Teams, Top Stories

I know this is really immature and all, but KnightRiders is an absolutely ridiculous name for a cricket team. It sounds so kiddish. Do you folks remember the serial KnightRider that used to come on DD in the 90s? The one with the talking car? So cheesy. And I can’t imagine why SRK would go [...]
