PUNJAB-YEH TUNE KYA KIYA....

Yesterday the Kolkata Knight Riders team didn't went for the practice session at the evening.All the time they were there in front of the TV set watching praying for Dhoni's team's loss in that match.But even after scoring a huge total of 190+ Punjab can't kept Chennai from reaching the target.Now the result is that for Kolkata to reach in the semi-finals they have to beat in form Mumbai Indians for a high run-rate.The run-rate which could reach them +.3 to -.3. But Ganguly can relieve on the fact that His team's performance was improved a lot from the last year's IPL who was there in the last spot in last year.Any way they will be looking upon toady's match which greater enthusiasm to aim on a high which was very clear from skippers words "I work hard and am honest at my work.

DO OR DIE....

I'm sure today Kolkata will be in really a situation like this as a lose in this game will make them out of the semi-final hopes in the third edition of IPL.Toady Kolkata will be taking on Rajasthan Royals in their home ground of Eden Gardens.The good news to the Kolkata side is that they have won three out of five matches played in this ground and above the crowd support they will get in this field especially for the skipper Sourav Ganguly. KKR is having a good number of options even then they fail to find which is the best combination.The West-Indian star striker Chris Gayle had shown only some glimpses of his talent as he scored only...

KOLKATA ,GANGULY- AGAIN & AGAIN....

Now I know why Ganguly is so dear for 'Kolkatans'.Yesterday Ganguly continued his fine form to keep Kolkata Knight Riders in the run to semifinals.The win achieved by Kolkata was not only by Ganguly himslf but also by the thousands of crowd that cheered for Kolkata's win.A 99 run partnership between Sehwag(64) and Gambhir(47) could not fight against these odds and was fell before 14 runs ahead of the target.Earlier Ganguly (56) and Gayle(40) gave Kolkata a flying start as they reached 100 runs in ust 11 overs.Down the order Tiwary(26) and Mathews(46) played an important role in leading Kolkata to a good target of 181 in 20 overs.Delhi Dare Devils...

KOLKATA PLEASE....

Kolkata is now on the edge of "extinction" from 2010 IPL as today they will face a confident Delhi Daredevils.To be there in the context in the run for semi-finals Kolkata must have a desperate win on today's match.Kolkata skipper Ganguly have a unenviable task to lift the player's morale. Hopefully Newzealand's Brendon Mccullum and Ishant Sharma will be played in ths must-win match.This will add worries to Ganguly as he have to drop still not good David Hussey or Shane Bond.On the other side Delhi will be in a relieved form as their batting strength doubled with Karthik and Ganbhir too in form as they already have hard hitters Sehwag,Warner,Collingwood...
