If you ask me the two most united teams in this IPL, I would say that they are locking horn today. Delhi Daredevils has been the most consistent lot of this year's IPL till now. So there is no reason that they should look otherwise. But its different in the other case. Their campaign started with a public spat between their two international recruits capturing the imagination of the nation. While the true cause behind this is still unknown, but one thing the onlookers were sure about was how serious it was as they saw how furious one of the player was during this incident.
With 3 wins and 3 losses before their last game against the same opponent, they looked like an enigma team as they were last year. But one thing changed the USP of this new Franchise was one wicket. This one was crucial. The way Virender Sehwag and KP were going, it looked like that PWI will end up with the statistics of 3 win and 4 losses. But But But.......There is always something in cricket that changes the game in a matter of seconds. It might be an unbeleivable catch, or an explosive sixer or a pathetic mix up during running between the wickets. On that day it was a wicket. That too a clean bowled.
Sure people gets out a lot in IPL clean bowled. But this one is different. This one is the wicket of the dangerous KP by none other than the Lion Of India. When the other bowlers were getting hit like naughty kids in school, he brought himself on to the challenge. Well for a split second I cursed him for this poor decision without remembering his heroics with the ball on numerous ocassions not to forget the Sahara Cup in Toronto. Yes you are right, the ball stayed low and KP got undone by the wicket. But what captured my imagination was the celebration. This was Awesome!!!!!!After that it was a walk in the park for Team Pune which I am sure they will continue in today's encounter too, which is going to happen in about 22 minutes. Well Best of Luck Delhi, Because the Happy Bunch is here!!!!
