Well, what can I say about the team from Bangalore except as you sow, so you reap. There was almost unanimous opinion in the media circles about the sustainance of this team during its selection. Rahul Dravid and folks did make sure that the predictions come true and in turn, cooked up more controversies than [...]

This post is a brief account of my experience as a spectator in the IPL match between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Delhi Daredevils held on 19th May 2008 at Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.

The match between the Royal Challengers and the Deccan Chargers the other day was very interesting to watch the other day. Both the teams are out of the tournament, and they were playing for “pride”.

Dravid is in trouble. Deep trouble. It looks almost inevitable that Mallya is going to do everything he can to dump Dravid at the end of the season, his “icon player” status notwithstanding. Mallya has become increasingly outspoken against Dravid’s captaincy with every loss that the Royal Challengers have had to suffer, and in his [...]

Say good-bye to the Deccan Chargers! The defeat on Sunday at the hands of The Kolkata Knight Riders has ensured that the Deccan Chargers will not make it beyond the league round of the IPL.
