Gilly ka "baangda"....

     This is what I like about this man, Adam Gilchrist. Aggressive, violence, and passion....He is still young even in his 40s. Only Gilly can play such an innings ( I dare even Sachin can ). While on the other end Shaun Marsh in his own style....Both of them really "ruined" Bangalore Royal Challengers keeping Punjab Kings XI still in the hunt. Today Punjab Kings XI thrashed Bangalore Royal Challengers  by 111 runs.

Gilly de DHAMAAL....

     It was not Christopher Gayle or Paul Valthaty who cracked Darmasala sky as we all hoped. Truly cricket is a gentleman's gameas the prominent gentleman of modern day cricket really entertained the crowd as he smoked nine sixes. But the the beginning Kings were chocking as they  scored only 30 runs for one wicket in six overs after they decided to bat first. A short ball from Mithun helped Gilly to kick start his whirlwind knock. He also produced the longest six in the tournament, a huge 122 meters of  Langeveldt in the 10-th over o fthe match. With that he fully opened the flood gates. Bangalore become in real vein as Marsh also began his assault in the 15-th over as he smashed Van der Wath for 30 runs. Van der Wath also became the most expensive bowler as he conceded 50 runs as he was well "backed up" by Langeveldt by 48 runs. Adam Gilchrist completed his second IPL century in the third ball of the last over ad was out in the penultimate ball. Till then he scored106 runs of 55 balls and Shaun Marsh scored 79 of 45 balls. Both of them had a highest  partnership in any wicket of 226 runs and that to in 99 balls.

Sachin Tendulkar and Ambati Raydu celebrates Mumbai Indians' win

 

 

 

 

        But in comparison,Bangalore had a completely different approach as they were pondered to 19 for 2.Even though Dilshan could a score a half century he was only his shadow.A Bde Villiers also scored some interesting 38 runs but was misjudged to Pollard.This gave chance for Saurabh Tiwary to free his arms and also was able to put Malinga and Harbhajan to the boundaries.Dilshan woke up only in the 20-th over to hit Mallinga a six and posted a fighting total (as expected but it never to be) of 140 runs.But as Sachin and Raydu played some magnificent and unbeaten 110 partnership whipped away the target from the screen....
