IPL final, Lalit Modi Exit and and gain , loss of IPL 3.0

IPL Final- MI v/s CSK , D.Y.Patil  25 Apr 2010

It took me 24 hours( 25 Apr to 26 Apr ) to sunk the lost in final as Mumbai Indian supporter against Chennai Super Kings. It was heart break, we played so well through out the tournament , we were the most consistent, balanced and inform team of the tournament and tipped to Win the tournament , but in Final where it most matter  Mumbai Indians Team management made tactical blunder, wrong strategy execution rather than wrong strategy (cause if Harbhanjan would have been clicked as no 4 batsman , it would have been master stroke , so its execution that failed) and they lost the match which they should have won.

Match started wiht most anticipating riddle getting resolved as Sachin Tendulkar step on the field for toss with MSD , and 55,000 people gathered in stadium were thrilled to see him on the field. CSK won the toss and elected to bat first. Both team selected same playing XI from semi final match. MI maintian their dominance till 10 th over. Turning point of match , which cost MI heavily by dropping Suresh raina twice in the span of 2 overs and CSK ended up with score of 168.

MI needed good start of the inning but they started on bad note. lost early wicket and CSK bowlers kept pressure on MI batsman. Sachin played some exhilarating stroke play in between. His host making, placement and execution of shots didn't showed any evidence of five stitches  to right hand.Thats true sports person.

Run rate kept climbing and reached almost 12 per over. They tried to accelerate the score , lost wickets in between with batting order changed cost MI daunting task of scoring 15 an over is last few overs. Sending pollard too late in the innings became talking point of discussion. He came and gave scare to CSK bowlers but it was too late for late flourish. Eventually MI lost the match and MSD won the IPL trophy after 3rd attempt.

In the end , it was wonderful tournament, it displayed new 20-20 talent from INDIA such as Tiwary, Ryadu, Kohali. One of the disappointment of the tournament was Yuvraj singh's display. Hope he regains his form  in world T-20.

LALIT MODI EXIT as IPL COMMISSIONER

Lalit modi's Suicide twetting  landed him losing job as IPL commissioner. He showcased wonderful tournament but late controversy regarding financial aspect, credibility of IPL body raised few eyebrows. BCCI has challenging task in hand to make sure that IPL as a brand (management term) is not hampered and still IPL remains the most anticipated event in cricketing world.

On final note , would like to wish Sachin Tendulkar MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY and turning 37 on 24 Apr. people have written too many things about him , i will not write anything on that. So ,I would like to highlight one incident which will be prefect tribute for him and special mention for his birthday. 

I met one of my British friend's parents. When she introduced me  as Sachin to her parents, their  reply stunned me. Her mom replied "SACHIN - DA LEGEND"  , i was shocked , and i said  "I just share the name , nothing else."
