IPL 2011: News

Batting has let us down

We are getting ready to play our last league game in the IPL season this year. Suddenly, it's a do-or-die game for us. We never expected to be in this position, but that's the way it is and we need to back ourselves to get out of this situation. Harbhajan Singh writes.

Hills are alive with the sound of music

When not practicing, days are spent exploring the beautiful locales of the hilly town. McLeodganj and surrounding areas are the hot spots while the Mc'LLo pub is the favourite watering hole. Sanjjeev Karan Samyal reports.

Aiming for the top slots, and nothing less

I don't want to get into outrageous mathematical possibilities because as far as the KKR are concerned, we will be involved in the knockout stages of the tournament after our win against the Pune Warriors on Thursday. Jacques Kallis writes.

Last two games good wakeup call

The last two games were tough for the Mumbai Indians. After doing reasonably well for almost a month, we faltered a bit and now the time has come to get the momentum back. Harbhajan Singh writes.

Warne bows out of cricket on a low

We are playing Warriors, not just Sourav

Now it's up to us to keep Kings XI out of the race

Two games to go until the playoffs and we need to win at least one to make sure we qualify. The Pune Warriors, like every team in this tournament, can be devastating on their day. Hopefully, today is not their day. Jacques Kallis writes.

We kept repeating mistakes

It's really hard to pen down my feelings after the last defeat. Whatever little hope we had to make it to the final-four was shattered by another defeat. Yuvraj Singh writes. Yuvi says

The defeat has come at right time: Kohli

After Royal Challengers Bangalore slumped to second-largest defeat in IPL against Kings XI Punjab that ended their seven-match wining streak, skipper Virat Kohli said that the jolt has come just at the right time.

Greig wants India's grip on cricket to end

Ending India's "domination: of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and dismissing the "nonsense" idea of having a window for the Indian Premier League (IPL) would top Tony Greig's agenda if the former England captain is given charge of cricket's world governing body.

Valthaty, Rahul are the surprise elements this time

In less than a week from now, the play-offs of IPL IV would have got underway, with four teams still in the mix and the rest reflecting on the campaign gone by. Javagal Srinath writes. Srinath says

Objective attained, now on to the next task

When IPL 4 started, the first aim of the teams was to finish among the top-four and make it to the play-offs. The thinking within the Royal Challengers' camp was no different. Anil Kumble writes.

Warne rages @twitter

Hours before the Rajasthan Royals faced the Kochi Tuskers in Indore on Sunday, Shane Warne told his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley that he is ready to ‘expose’ Sanjay Dixit, the Rajasthan Cricket Association secretary with whom he has had a running feud. Khurram Habib reports.  Etcetera

At last, some balm on our wounds

Two wins followed by a three-day break. This was needed after the non-stop grind of seven losses. The wounds may not have healed but they are in a better state.  Yuvraj Singh writes.

See the ball, hit the ball, it’s as simple for them

When it comes to power hitting, Sehwag and Gayle have a lot in common. Aakash Chopra reports. Aakash says

Overhaul FTP or be ready to witness players making choices

Is the BCCI unfair in expecting its marquee players, in whom they've invested so much, to represent the country in an international game? Or, are the broadcasters unreasonable in insisting that India play their star players each time, since revenues plummet the moment Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni abstain?
