Royal Challengers V Kolkata Knight Riders
The first season of IPL kicked off today and the 44 day showdown has begun, where all the International stars will battle for glory and cash, the atmosphere is electric, the stadium is jam packed , the first match is between Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Rider, Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected to field.
The first Innings is over Kolkata Knight riders have scored 222/3 in 20 overs, Brendon Mccullum rained sixes and fours all over the ground he scored 158 off 73 balls and hit 10 4′s and 13 6′s, the bowling by challengers was erratic the feilding was horrendous, the boundaries are extremely short even outside edges fly over the boundary so the score which looks too big in reality is not that big , but the challengers batting line up looks like a test line up they do not have power hitters on top, but they should comfort themselves that Shoaib Akhtar and Umar Gul will not be bowling for Kolkata as Shoaib’s appeal is still pending and Umar Gul is with the Pakistani team in Karachi. There is no match between the two teams and it will be an easy win for Kolkata.
