The Build Up:
Is Sunil Narine now KKR’s weakness?
Defending champions. Gautam Gambhir’s side had gone on a nine-match winning run to lift the trophy last year. It was their second IPL title in three years. They, however, face a tougher test this term.
Just look at the numbers. An Australian has won the man-of-the-match award in one out of five IPL matches of all time-this despite only four foreigners being allowed in each XI. One-fifth of the overall runs-1,30,587 in all-scored in IPL history have come off Aussie bats. And when they haven’t been scoring runs and taking wickets, they have been busy scripting the success stories of the showpiece event.
IPL 8 opening ceremony: A mess for the masses
The Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata was all set to witness a spectacle before rain arrived and washed away all the hopes and expectations of the who’s and who at India’s football mecca. Talks of the ceremony being larger than life remained mere Chinese whispers as the event unfolded into a grand mess.
