Sixer by Karthik |
Chennai Super Kings dropped an easy catch – Dhoni under stress. He is a human.
Paul Valthaty – best innings in IPL 4 & one of the best in Indian Premier League.
Abhishek Nayar – Worst bowling & worst batting.
Shaun Marsh out. Sunny Singh is in. Morkel dropped 2 catches. Lucky Valthaty – it is your day.
Paul Valthaty: 2 fours & 1 sixer in one over. 45 runs in 21 balls. Absolutely sensational innings.
Mumbai cricketer Paul Valthaty hit 3 fours in 3 overs. Good start by Kings XI Punjab.
Chennai: 188/4 in 20 overs. Highest total in IPL 2011 so far.
Ryan Harris bowled wonderful last over. Dhoni out off last ball.
Badrinath scored a wonderful half-century. Praveen Kumar gave 22 runs in the 18th over.
Murali Vijay - 3 fours & 3 sixers in last 3 overs. Punjab lost the way due to poor bowling by Piyush Chawla & Abhishek Nayar.
Praveen Kumar: 2 wickets off 2 balls. What a bowling! Both
Praveen Kumar took wicket off first ball of the match. Anirudha Srikanth’s lack of technique was exposed by Praveen. Suresh Raina in.
IPL 2011 Prediction: Chennai Super Kings will defeat Kings Eleven Punjab.
Ratings for Captains & Teams:
Chennai Super Kings: Captain – 9/10 & Team – 8/10
Kings XI Punjab: Captain – 8/10 & Team – 6/10.
Absence of Doug Bollinger weakened Chennai bowling attack. Punjab neither has the strength of Mumbai Indians nor the passion of Rajasthan Royals.
Chennai registered narrow victory against KKR in the first game while Kings Eleven Punjab was the worst performer in the first round of IPL games. They dropped 3 crucial catches in their first match against Pune.
