The two new franchises for IPL 2011 has started off with flying colours. But today at halfway mark of the tournament both of them stands at the bottom of the table. Pressure is mounting on both the Captains of these new franchises. Pune warriors haa got one of the most attacking batsmen rerquired for a 20-20 cricket match. Still they have problem in chasing moderate targets say 155 as in the case against RCB. After winning the first two matches impressively they have been in a loosing spree of 6 straight matches. The media and former players are heavily criticising Yuvraj's leadership skills and field settings. While on the other hand The Kochi Tuskers have been the most inconsistent team in IPL 2011. After a mediocre show at first two matches, they came out with a bang winning the next three against MI, CSK and KKR. Then again they lost the next three. Skipper Jayawardhane is under pressure from his board for coming back for preperation for the next overseas tour for his country. This will make things more complicated for Kochi as their fortune depends on few individual players like Mccullum, Mahela and Jadeja due to their meagre batting resources. Both Yuvraj and Mahela has to do something out of the box to come out of this situation.
