Should be piece.

Well and good match there, who was the MoM?

 

[Aditya]

Player who's pic is at at the top of the update like in last update Brett Lee is the MOTM.

Brett Lee turned the match.
The best work is on kit again.

A few grammar mistakes in there, but overall a pretty good read so well done. Maybe the image of Lee could have been resized as it is a bit too big at the moment, but it is nothing major.

Great bowling by Lee though, especially in 20/20 where it always favours the batsmen, those are fantastic figures. Will be keeping an eye on this, I am impressed with your works

Gautam Gambhir at his very best!​

Gambhir's 90* helped Delhi to win their 3 out of 4 matches in this years ipl​

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected bat. They got off to a fairly good start of 43 but then they lost Imran Nazir. After sometime they lost Yusuf Pathan too and then even Waugh was not able to do anything special with the bat... Kallis and Clarke did very well to give innings some momentum and try to post a good total on the board.​

Kallis played a very good innings. He made sure that he doesn't allow to build pressure on other side batsmen,Clarke and mainly tried to hit boundaries surprisingly. In pressure we often see batsmen trying to take singles and get innings back on track but Kallis had some other plans. On other hand Clarke innings was completely different from Kallis he was making sure that he rotates the strikes because he knew Kallis is in good knick.​

Soon Kallis got to his fifty but after that he was not able to continue and lost his wicket. Clarke made sure that he stays at the crease at the end but no other player really made a good score and Chennai Super Kings were able to make 159 for 6. Daryll Tuffey from Delhi Daredevils bowled very well. 17 runs in 4 overs and 3 2 wickets is certainly a good figure and now the questions is can Delhi Daredevils chase this target?​

Delhi Daredevils lost their first wicket on 30 runs and they lost Chris Gayle and after Gayle wicket they lost two more quick wickets of Pietersen and Sehwag. But Gautam Gambhir single handedly won the match for his team,Delhi Daredevils. From the ball one he started punishing the bowlers and it was absolute treat to watch him playing. On other hand man who plays for England these days,Eoin Morgan played a very good innings along side with Gautam Gambhir and Delhi Daredevils won the match easily in the sixteenth over by 7 wickets in hand.​

Sudeep Tyagi again showed that he is improving his bowling and deserves to be in Indian playing XI side regularly. Gambhir showed that if you have the potential you can make runs in all three forms of the game. In the end Delhi Daredevils won comfortably and man of the match was no price for guessing,Gautam Gambhir.​

Maybe post some IPL news instead of just a match summary?

I'll surely do that mate. I just wanted to post few matches and after that off the field talks and etc stuff will be posted. Now as you have mentioned it from now i would add some extra stuff.

^I would like to see a fake IPL player for the losing team.

A surprise for me!​

I was sleeping at my house and the time was 5.00 am. My mobile rang "Tring,Tring" i picked up my mobile and the caller was Sehwag". Firstly i was shocked! But then i said Hello are you really Sehwag. He laughed :laugh Yes mate i am Sehwag. Remember i met you at Kotla stadium 6 months ago? I scratched my head and then i suddenly remembered and replied yes yes mate i remember we met while i was batting at the nets. Sehwag said right,See Aditya the thing now is that Gambhir is badly injured. Today he had an accident a major one but thanks god he is safe now but he needs 1 year bed rest. So remember i said you that i'm impressed with your batting. Now the thing is i want you in my Delhi Daredevils side don't worry i have talked to the owner and he agrees.Your age is 22 so you can certainly be in the side actually i want a new player who has not played till now in a first class match because bowlers don't know you and i know you would do something special do you agree? I scratched my head and said to Sehwag mate please let me know that are you saying a joke or are you serious? Sehwag said no mate i am damn serious let me know if you agree because we wont be able to get better play then you.

You told me that day we met at Kotla Stadium that you have got some training from Sachin and next day i asked Sachin about that and he still remembers you so i'm sure that you have some serious potential. I took a long breadth and said yes mate i am now ready to join your team. Sehwag said great now that's what i wanted. Its going too fast i know but see mate we have already played three matches so you would have to join our team today itself. You live in Delhi and we are in Cuttack and there is still some time left for our next match so it would be great if you can visit Cuttack till today evening. Don't worry one of the member from our team will visit airport to pick you up and with him you will come to the hotel. I said fine mate i will come till today evening but still i'm quite shocked after all its 5.00 am. Sehwag again laughed and said don't worry mate,Just think you are coming at Cuttack to do some batting practice. "I said fine mate will catch you at evening."

Well first of all, good job in trying something new but...
Grammar needs some serious improvement
Remember to capitalize I's
You've used incorrect punctuation for speech, either do something like i've done in my story for phone calls or use "quotation marks" and make sure you take a new line everytime someone talks instead of writing" then Sehwag said bye and I said bye back"
Try to do something like:

Hello
Hey Aditya, it's Sehwag
Is it really you?
:laugh Yes it is, remember we met at ...

or

I picked up the phone,
"Hello?"
"Hey Aditya, it's Sehwag"
I couldn't believe it, was it really him?
"Remember we met at Kotla..."

Screw you English Teacher!!

Nice update Aditya, but grammar needs to improve as mentioned by MaD

 

[Gaurav_7]

I took a long breadth

This was epic Aditya. It needs to be breath. A twist here, but not sure a good or a bad one. Good Luck anyways.
