IPL 2011: News

Beware of Gayle storm

Wednesday will be Shane Warne’s swansong in Jaipur. Going by the way things have panned out over the past few days, the must-win game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore will be a sad exit for one who has come to be recognized as the Pink City's face on the cricket field. Khurram Habib reports.

Learn to keep batsmen guessing

Chris Gayle has been the flavour of the IPL so far, with two spectacular hundreds in his first four innings since joining the Royal Challengers. It's almost as if he is determined to make up for lost time, writes Javagal Srinath.

Rampant Gayle brings frenzied fans to the stadium in droves

Bracing a late hot afternoon, thousands of die-hard fans flocked to the Chinnaswamy stadium today to watch the tall West Indian Chris Gayle of home team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) swing his heavy bat for sixes and fours against Kochi Tuskers Kerala (KTK) in the Indian Premier League.

Things will go out of control if you stop discussions

In Twenty20 cricket, you don't know when a break is essential and so from that perspective, it's good that we have a few days to put our feet up, reflect on what has been and look ahead to the second half of the IPL, writes Anil Kumble.

Not good, it’s going down to the wire

Nothing seems to be working for the Pune Warriors at the moment. We are trying our best to get back to form but things are not going our way, writes Yuvraj Singh.

Nothing to beat the atmosphere at Chinnaswamy

Almost anything can happen in Indian Premier League-4 (IPL) — a team winning a game, losing a game, winning again and then losing again, writes Ab de Villiers.

Virat attack leaves hapless Warriors scurrying for cover

Exhilarating batting displays by Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle powered the Royal Challengers Bangalore to a 26-run win over the Pune Warriors India at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday. Rohit Bhaskar reports.  Scorecard

Zaheer's return to form a good omen

The Royal Challengers made heavy weather of what ought to have been a routine run chase. But, overall, it was a good result, especially, considering we were playing away from home. Anil Kumble writes.

Delhi boy returns home, nails Devils

Led by Virat Kohli's half-century, Challengers sneak to a pulsating 3-wicket win. It was RCB's third win from 7 games while Delhi have just two wins from 6 outings now. N Ananthnarayanan reports. Scorecard | Local tunes

Wake up Zak! urges coach Jennings

Dilshan issue causes IPL flutter

The possibility of newly-appointed Sri Lanka skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan leaving a week earlier than agreed for the country’s players in the IPL created a flutter on Monday. HT reports.

Play to your strengths, results are bound to follow

Although things didn’t go to plan against Bangalore in the last game, we are still well-placed at this stage to push for a semifinal place, writes Jacques Kallis.

Who is the greediest of them all?

In the country versus club debate, which is the inevitable consequence of the way IPL is structured, we fail to address one simple fact, writes Pradeep Magazine.

Gayle force fine, but Zak needs to fire

It was quite a sight to watch Chris Gayle at work on Friday night. Purely from a bowler’s perspective, it is also a relief that I am retired from all forms of the game, and don't have to bowl to him anywhere except in the nets, writes Anil Kumble.

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?
