Sometimes watchin Sachin bat makes you wonder how are you gonna enjoy the cricket after he has retired. Yesterday against KKR he showed his brilliance by guiding his team to yet another victory. Mind you this was the first time MI were chasing a score in this year's IPL & I think Sachin has don the cap of being the finisher by staying there till the end.
KKR needs McCullum badly as he is the only batsman to whom nothing matters; neither the conditions, nor the situation. Even the Calypso king was a bit jittery in the beginning of the innings & took more than enough time to come to his true colors. Dada should know by now that this in all probability is his last IPL coz frankly I dont see anything that KKR can gain out of him; he should quitely quit & become the coach.
MI are the most balanced team of this year & the way they executed their plans of bowling yorkers to Gayle was amazing, i had never seen so many of them in 20-20; even bhajji bowled around 18 yorkers out of his quota of 24. Now thats what I call the commitment of the team, making a plan & executing it to perfection.
The only positive to come out of the match for KKR was Dada's stupendous catch; it would be interesting to see if he has completed his quota for the tournament in fielding or not, he he he...
Sachin's strokeplay reminded me of the late 90's when every bowler in the world feared him, his straight drives, cover drives, backfoot punch & some slogs over mid wicket; this innnings had everything. You deserve to win IPL this year MI just for the sheer brilliance of the little master. Lets keep the fingers crossed
