IPL 2011: News

KTK lacked consistency in the tournament: Jayawardene

All but knocked out of the Indian Premier League after the six-wicket loss to Kings XI Punjab, Kochi Tuskers Kerala's dejected captain Mahela Jayawardene conceded that his debutant side lacked consistency in the tournament.

Kings tame Tuskers

Plenty of fours, plenty of sixes and little or no regard for bowlers, all to the accompaniment of cheers and blaring music. It was all anyone could ask for from an IPL match as the Kings XI Punjab beat the Kochi Tuskers by six wickets at the Holkar Cricket Stadium here on Friday. Vinayak Pande reports. Scorecard

Kochi Tuskers post 178/7 against Kings XI Punjab

Sent into bat, Kochi Tuskers Kerala scored a challenging 178 for seven against Kings XI Punjab in their Indian Premier League match here today. Scorecard

Kings out to hunt Tuskers

Will the Kochi Tuskers Kerala feel like a fish out of water when they take on the Kings XI Punjab in the first of their two ‘home’ games at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Friday? Vinayak Pande reports. Match box

Thinking of home and beyond

When HT caught up with the temperamental paceman, he was busy scanning through books on interior decoration at the Kochi airport bookstore as his team Kochi Tuskers Kerala waited to board the flight to Delhi for Monday’s match against Delhi Daredevils. “I’m building a house,” he says. Debjeet Kundu reports.

Delhi Daredevils hopes go beyond the boundary

Kings XI Punjab skipper Adam Gilchrist had dubbed the contest against the Delhi Daredevils at the Ferozshah Kotla ground a six-hitting contest after both the sides crossed 200 thanks to short boundary on one side. Subhash Rajta reports. Scorecard

Bring them on, again!

The Delhi Daredevils have largely appeared a one-man army right from the first match this season. Halfway into the tournament, the new-look team hasn’t done anything spectacular to shake off the less-than-flattering view. Subhash Rajta reports.

Bandh, ticket pricing keep crowds away

Everytime Kochi Tuskers have played here, the home fans have turned out in large numbers. But on Saturday afternoon, it wore a deserted look because of a  Kerala bandh the previous day.  Debjeet Kundu reports.

Battle of the wounded

The Ishant-hurricane that hit Mahela Jayawardene and Co. has left some severe bruises. And the body language of the Kochi Tuskers team is testimony to that. But what seems to have hurt them most is the way their own backyard has turned into a graveyard.

Ishant rips through Tuskers' lineup

Deccan Chargers' Ishant Sharma returned a sensational five for 12 to rip through the Kochi Tuskers lineup, eventually leading to a 55-run victory. Somshuvra Laha reports. Scorecard | Warriors wince again

Ticketing issues cause rift in Kochi

Ticket prices and entertainment tax levied on them have driven a new wedge between the Kochi franchise and the local franchise.

Past is passé for the table-scrapers

The Kochi Tuskers and Deccan Chargers don't have a choice. After doling out easy wins in their previous matches, the onus is on them to engineer a turnaround, and fast. Somshuvra Laha writes.

IPL turns friends into foes

Friends and teammates, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara were like peas in a pod, scripting their opponents' downfall and the ascent of the national side in the last decade that has seen Sri Lanka reach the World Cup finals twice. Somshuvra Laha reports.

It takes two to tango for Tuskers

Sunday was one of those rare days for Kochi Tuskers Kerala when nothing clicked. They were asked to bat first by Rajasthan Royals just after Brendon McCullum pulled out with a shoulder injury, leaving skipper Mahela Jayawardene the task of steering the innings.

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?
