IPL 13 Apr - Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kings

[Pranav]

Hope he continue this form throughout.

I doubt he'll be able to continue like this tough. He seems more like a 'one match wonder' to me.

Cant deny this though....

Many years back a Himachal Pradesh opener called Sangram Singh scored an aggressive hundred in the Challenger Series for the India 'B' team and all newspapers highlighted as though a star is born....

Never heard of him or his pyrotechniques again...

( However, now he might be playing for his Ranji state HP )

Wow, what a match! Loved the way he batted though. Punjab surely needed this spark to get going, hopefully they can pick up now.

CSK should take heart that they were languishing close to the bottom in the last IPL having to win almost all their remaining 6-7 games to qualify for the semis, and they turned it around and won the IPL. And its good that they get this kind of defeat early in the tournament and that too against a team that was called "weak". Next game is vs Bangalore at home. Hope Bollinger is ready for that game. I would play Southee and Bollinger and drop Morkel. I would also play Faf Du Plessis in place of Randiv (to shore up our lower order batting in the absence of Morkel, also Faf is a spinner replacement for Randiv). The rest will stay the same.

What about Michael Hussey? He also should be in for Styris.

Oh I forgot that. If Hussey is back, then Styris should be dropped for Hussey. Anirudha can then be dropped down the order with Vijay and Hussey opening the innings. But I guess Dhoni wont make that many changes. I guess he will bring in Bollinger for Southee and Hussey for Styris. His faith in Morkel is quite strong.

What a century by Valthaty.

I saw a photograph of Preity Zinta kissing Adam Gilchrist after their win over Chennai... She kissed the wrong person... Should have kissed Paulie...
