Indian Premier League (India)

Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders, T20

Well well well, people will talk about how Saha or Hussey must be feeling, or how relieved will Pathan be feeling after this match. But I will talk about the person who actually made the difference. Think about Ishant Sharma who gave away 21 runs off the last over and which eventually turned out to be the crucial factor of the match. But it was indeed a great game of cricket, in fact it was a great day of cricket with two excellent games of cricket. We have another double header lined up tomorrow. The first game might as well see Sachin Tendulkar making his debut as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Daredevils. The second game will feature Rajasthan Royals taking on Chennai Superstars. Do join us for all the action. Till then it is good bye and good night from all of us. Adios...
