Dearest Brother
and Dear Priety Zinta
Congratulations for Kings XI Punjab bringing up the most dramatic or should I say miraculous and most unexpected kind of victory over Mumbai Indians..
There is strength in unity.. that is what a lesson we learned especially the old father calling his son to break the bundle of woods tied together and their failure at doing so.. and yet each could break the woods once separated.. I think it may seem awkward for some of you to find me teeling this story when brother wanted to tell about Nawabs..
The win was highly improbable as much as improbable as Rajasthan Royals pulled up against Delhi Daredevils or may be slightly more.. the kind of win that has just been crafted a few minutes ago was a great team effort unlike Rajasthan's win that came about from thunderbolt of an inning from Yusuf Pathan.. Punjab used all their resources.. I would say even an over by Mota was important to their scheme of things.. and that master mind move of giving the penultimate over to Chawla by the standing captain Sangkara or were they captains (Sangkara and Mahela) who first decided to go with Abdulla yet as a second thought Kumar called up Chawla to bowl the 19th over.. and he accounted for dangerous Harbhajan.. The catch that Goel took was the defining moment of Kings win.. earlier too Powar and Pathan and the rest of the bowlers did extremely well knowing that their backs were to the wall.. this win would be remembered for long long time in a T20 tournaments.. and everyone on the field was so electrifying.. They all deserve some special treatment from their franchisees.. One would understand the beating of Mumbai Indians on 16th May when they would in all likelihood be contesting for top honours in the Finals.. yes.. this Mumbai side is so well packed with stars and performers.. Duminy was outstanding even in the loosing cause.. His was the best knock from either side.. though Kumar too played an important role earlier for Punjab to be in a position to save their faces crossing the hundred runs mark while batting first..
My man of the match for this game could easily be the whole team.. such wins can not be achieved by a single contribution.. and indeed outstanding amongst those who count a lot would be Kumar, Pathan, Abdulla and Chawla (despite his first over went for 13 runs.. he not only kept his cool he readily came forward to bowl the 19th over of the innings and changed the course of the game.. completely in the favour of Punjab..)
More later.. It indeed is next day the 30th April.. my posts woukld definitely be on such hours.. and would be mostly related to IPL 2.. like it or leave it..
This is the first hand report and I would use it for my blog on IPL 2 a little later.. I have to now update the IPL 2 records page.. for my angelfire website..
