How many times have you seen a team chasing down 43 runs in 12 balls , making 21 runs in 6 balls and making 23 runs in the final overs that too in a single tournament….!! But this IPL has given such excitement just in its initial stage .All teams are giving their best in the field and every match have a culmination at the end.
IPL 5 seems to be a open tournament at the initial stage where all the teams have started their campaign well compared to the previous two IPLs where the champions were almost known to every one .Its unpredictability at its best this time both in the match results and the about the winner .If we look at the stats all teams equation goes head t o head and every team have potential to win the IPL .In every tournament we can predict a team who can win including 50 over world cups but this IPL is going exceptionally well and in fact that’s what T-20 is all about it has the history of giving the last unpredictable results .
The defending champions Chennai Super Kings might not have got best of the starts in the tournament but it’s a long tournament and they have the potential to bounce back although getting a good start is also necessary as it is also very difficult to bounce back also and get the right rhythm .Mumbai Indian the all time favorite of many to win seems to take a semi final berth with their top weapons Lasith Malinga and Sachin Tendulkar but still winning the title seems difficult time time also because of their inconsistent performance ,it is a good team no doubt but win matches on individual performance not by team effort ,for me it’s a team of 11 individuals !!!Pune Warriors India is also among the favorites this time with the DADA impact and so far it is performing well against a truly good leader ,it would be an achievement if they book their berth in semi finals . Royal Challenger Bangalore have the marauder Gayle with them ,their batting seems to be perfect but its their lack of fifth bowler which is causing trouble to them ,they are having a constant trouble since last season to deal with the death overs in the bowling department and in T-20 only these overs decide the result of the match ,so may cost them badly .Delhi Daredevils have every thing in their team ,a perfect balanced side with superb batting lineup and a descent bowling and they all the performing ,if they can keep that going they are surly going the title this time .Rajasthan Royals is also doing reasonably well this in this tournament with his assured batting performance hopefully they will be among the four semi finalist .Apart from that Kolkata Knight Riders , Kings XI Punjab , Deccan Charger have the potential but are very inconsistent with their performance ,so it seems difficult that any of them can go to the next stage of the game .
The tournament has now got the pace and its going to be interesting to watch how the teams progress from their on .We are surly going to many more memorable wins and powerful performances in the coming matches , no matter who is going to win this IPL but billions hearts will be won for sure with such cricket.
