But crossing all barriers, the IPL Commissioner Mr.Lalit Modi made sure that the IPL-2 took place and runs smoothly. It was a great relief for all the cricket fans.
There have been a lot of changes in the team chemistry's of almost all the teams. Some main changes are-
i)Kevin Pietersen bought for 1.55m$, the most expensive player, replaces Dravid as the captain of the Royal Challengers team.
ii) John Buchanan, the coach of Kolkata Knight Riders, has come out with a new theory....the will now be having more than 1 captain playing together, thats interesting.
iii)A Gilchrist is the new captain of the Deccan Chargers team.
Let the game BEGIN!!!
the first match was between the MUMBAI INDIANS and the CHENNAI SUPERKINGS.
Everyone was expecting CSK to win the match seeing the teams' previous season's performance.
The start for MI was a bit shaky but Tendulkar and Abhishek Nair's knocks helped the team get 166 on the board. It wasnt a very big total and CSk was expected to achieve it easily.But due to some brilliant bowling and some help from the pitch CSK were able to score only 147 for 7.
This was the the first shock of the....the second, which was between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers ended in an exciting finish. RC, batting first lost 2 wickets in first 3 balls of the game. Then the new captain Kevin Pietersen with the former captain Rahu Dravid steadied the ship and scored a decent 133 runs in 20 overs. Chances of winning were quite less, that too against RR who won the inaugural IPL T20. RR also lost quick wickets.Their scoring rate was less than 3 rpo till the 7th over. Under pressure batsmen couldn't perform started getting out .the side was all out for 58 runs. It was humiliation for Shane Warne's team and time to rejoice for the Challengers.
It was an exciteful and unexpected first day of the IPL-2. Hope better action in the coming days.
