IPL 2011: News

Lessons learnt, MI will improve

Fifty-days of non-stop cricket have come to an end, but we didn't achieve what we would have liked to in terms of results. It was a 'so-near, yet-so-far' kind of feeling for the Mumbai Indians and we have only ourselves to blame. Harbhajan Singh writes.

Reports on my pullout from the WIndies tour bizarre

It was amusing to see some of the television channels report that I pulled out of the West Indies tour because I didn't want to play under Raina. Do I need to state that I play for India and not for a captain? Yuvraj Singh writes.

Never got this sort of respect in Windies: Gayle

He came, saw and all but conquered the IPL but Chris Gayle, the face of this T20 season, is hurt that he is rarely treated with the warmth that he has been shown in India.

The link between US presidents and CSK cheerleaders

What do the male cheerleaders of the Chennai Super Kings, the only team that lets boys shake pom-poms, have in common with former US presidents Dwight D Eisenhower and Franklin D Roosevelt?

Does the Board even care who's in the team?

The inevitable consequence of the greed of those responsible for governing cricket in India is increasingly threatening international cricket. The profits that the IPL has generated for the Board and the rich and powerful corporates who have filled their coffers are at the root cause of this club versus country debate. Pradeep Magazine writes.

Gauti shoulders club-country row

As the club-over-country debate rages, the man in the middle of the latest row, Gautam Gambhir, has dismissed suggestions that he could put his Indian Premier League team ahead of India. Gambhir says

The shirt takes

Chennai have MSD edge

The IPL season is in its last four days and by Saturday we will know the winner. We would have loved to be a part of the playoffs but we didn't play well enough.

New-age game thrives on old techniques

Team fortunes have fluctuated every season; champions have nosedived while no-hopers have soared in the next edition. Amidst all this, the only thing that has remained constant is the performance of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Sanjjeev Karan Samyal reports. 

Look how they shine...

Does the colour of a sporting team's attire have any say in the final outcome? Folks back at the fag end of the 19th century certainly thought so. Rohit Bhaskar reports. Mantra for success | Different hues

IPL: The big ticket... or the empty seat show?

When the Royal Challengers Bangalore took on defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the first qualifier of the IPL IV playoffs at the Wankhede stadium on Tuesday it wasn't the sound of delirious fans that greeted the players, but rather the sight of empty stands. Rohit Bhaskar reports.

Wanted: A suitable partner for Tendulkar

Throughout the group stage, the Mumbai Indians played a game of musical chairs with the second opener's spot, with as many as five players walking out with Sachin Tendulkar to start the innings. Abhijeet Kulkarni reports.

Sudden impact: Gayle a regular season MVP

In just nine matches, Gayle has had unmatched impact, leading his side to eight victories and helping them script an amazing turnaround from bottom of the points table to the top. Rohit Bhaskar reports. Most Valuable Players

Warne rules out coaching in IPL

Rajasthan Royals' captain-cum-coach Shane Warne ruled out the possibility of a full time coaching job in the IPL saying he was only looking for "consultancy" opportunities. HT reports.

Bangalore will treat the first playoff like sudden death

We will be playing in Mumbai on Tuesday, and that it will be against the Super Kings is in many ways good for us because Sunday's victory has come as a big morale-booster. Anil Kumble writes.

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?
