The team plays its home matches at the PCA Stadium, Mohali. Since 2010 IPL, it has been playing some of the home games at Dharamsala. KXlP boasts of enormous potential, shining in patches, but fail to gather their act in crucial games. In the first season, they stormed into the semis at the back of strong performances, but were beaten comprehensively by Chennai. In the 2009 and 2011 seasons, they lost their last league game to miss out on qualification.
Under Gilchrist, the team blended into a competitive unit and challenged the best during the previous season. It is time they change their fortunes and aim to go all the way this time around. Squad: Adam Gilchrist (c), Rajagopal Sathish, Love Ablish, Amit Yadav, Bhargav Bhatt, Bipul Sharma, Piyush Chawla, Siddharth Chitnis, Paras Dogra, Ryan Harris, David Hussey, Dinesh Karthik, Praveen Kumar, Vikramjeet Malik, Mandeep Singh, Shaun Marsh, Abhishek Nayar, Nathan Rimmington, Nitin Saini, Shalabh Srivastava, Sunny Singh, Paul Valthaty, Stuart Broad, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Ramesh Powar, Harmeet Singh, Parvinder Awana, Azhar Mahmood, Vipul Sharma, James Faulkner, David Miller  |

| Tendulkar hands over Mumbai Indians captaincy to Harbhajan Singh: IPL 2012 Posted: 02 Apr 2012 08:26 AM PDT
The Indian Premier League (IPL), initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is a professional league for Twenty20 cricket competition in India. “Sachin Tendulkar in discussion with the management of Mumbai Indians has decided to hand over the responsibilities of captaining Mumbai Indians in Season V of the Indian Premier League to ace off spinner Harbhajan Singh,” a press release issued by Mumbai Indians stated.
“The Mumbai Indians is more than a team. It is like a family to me. At this point of time, I feel I need a break from the responsibility of captaincy of the Mumbai Indians. After due consideration, I discussed my intention to hand over the Captainship of the team to Harbhajan Singh, with Mukeshbhai and Nitabhabhi,” Tendulkar was quoted in the media release. Tendulkar further stated, “I was touched by the graciousness and wholehearted support they offered me while emphasising that they would accept any decision which helps me to continue enjoying the game. Harbhajan will have my wholehearted support as the senior most player in the team.” Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani termed it as a “difficult moment when Sachin expressed his desire to relinquish the captaincy.” “But we believe that Sachin is the best judge on such matters and hence, as always, we fully support his decison. I have learnt a lot during the last three seasons working with Sachin closely. Sachin is the soul of Mumbai Indians, and I am sure he will guide Bhajji as he takes on the responsibility of captaining Mumbai Indians,” Nita Ambani said. Harbhajan termed this as a “huge honour” as he thanked Sachin and Mrs Ambani for entrusting this responsibility. “Sachin paaji spoke to me about his decision of wanting me to take over the responsibility of the team. It is huge honour and I thank Paaji and Nita Bhabhi for the faith reposed in my abilities”, he said. “Mumbai Indians is a great team with explosive talent and promising youngsters. I am committed to do the very best and look forward to leading the team to play to its full potential during the season,” Harbhajan added. © PTI  |

| STAR wins BCCI Media rights for Rs 3851 crore Posted: 02 Apr 2012 04:43 AM PDT
Star Group beat competition from Multi Screen Media (Sony) to bag six-year broadcast and digital rights of India’s international cricket matches at home and domestic events like Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and the Irani Trophy. Star, in collaboration with ESPNCricinfo, bagged the broadcast, internet and mobile rights in India for a period of six years starting from July 2012 till March 2018. The Rupert Murdoch-owned company’s six-year contract is valued at Rs 3851 crore and will cover 96 matches in all. It would be coughing up Rs 40 crore per match on an average much higher than the Rs 32.5 crore per match that Nimbus was paying the BCCI before its contract was terminated last year due to default in payments.
Star and Multi Screen Media (Sony) were the only two companies to make the bids but a total of five had filed the tenders. “The BCCI is very happy with the deal. Now the media rights have been fully evaluated and fully priced with Star coming out with such a deal,” BCCI President N Srinivasan told reporters while making the announcement. The second highest bidder was Multi Screen Media (Sony), which bid Rs 3700 crore. “Following a transparent process of verifying the eligibility of each bidder, the winner was chosen,” Srinivasan said. Star Group’s India CEO Uday Shankar promised that the company would provide good telecast of the matches. “I thank the BCCI for giving Star the broadcast rights. In collaboration with our partnbers ESPN, we will do a commendable job,” he said. “We have already got channels. But the option of launching a channel if number of matches demand that is always open,” he added. ESPN-Star already have the rights of all ICC events and also the rights of domestic cricket in England and Australia. The BCCI’s marketing committee had set the price for category A games at Rs 31.25 crore per match (approx USD 6.1 million) plus Rs 1 crore (approx USD 0.2 million), while category B games were set at Rs 34 crore (approx USD 6.67 million) plus Rs 1 crore. The board failed in its attempt to sell the internet rights separately last year, as the initial base price of Rs 3 crore and the subsequently reduced price of Rs 2 crore found no takers. The matter has subsequently been referred for arbitration, with the Bombay High Court ruling that Nimbus must deposit Rs 305 crore (approx USD 60 million) with the court as security for the amount the BCCI claims it is owed by the company. Nimbus has also made a counter-claim of Rs 600 crore (approx USD 118 million) from the board. © PTI  |
| Sri Lanka Vs England 2nd Test, Colombo, 3-7 April 2012: Match Preview Posted: 02 Apr 2012 01:53 AM PDT
Sri Lanka hope to celebrate 30 years in Test cricket by toppling England from the number one ranking when the second and final Test starts in Colombo on Tuesday. Sri Lanka, who won the first Test in Galle by 75 runs, are determined to scalp the tourists again at the P. Sara Oval and clinch their first series victory since 2009 when they beat New Zealand 2-0 at home. Andrew Strauss’s spin-wary England will slip to number two behind South Africa if they lose or draw the Test on a traditionally sporting Oval wicket that offers assistance to both batsmen and bowlers. It was at the same venue that Sri Lanka played their inaugural Test in February 1982 against an England side led by Keith Fletcher, which won by seven wickets inside four days.
Strauss will look for a similar result from the tourists, but his Sri Lankan counterpart Mahela Jayawardene wants to settle for nothing less than a win in the landmark Test. “I’ll be very proud to be on the field on Tuesday and even prouder if we can claim a series victory,” said Jayawardene, who hit a brilliant 180 in the Galle Test to put his side on top. It was a morale-boosting win for sixth-ranked Sri Lanka, who have struggled in recent times in Test cricket following the retirement of their world bowling record holder Muttiah Muralitharan. The Galle victory was only their second, and the first at home, in 18 Tests since Muralitharan quit in July 2010 with a record 800 Test and 534 one-day wickets. The other win came in December, when Tillakaratne Dilshan’s men thumped South Africa by 208 runs in Durban, but went on to lose the series 2-1. Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath, who claimed nine wickets against South Africa, destroyed England in Galle with six wickets in each innings to earn the man of the match award. Jayawardene was delighted with the way 34-year-old Herath has shaped up and was confident the spinner will continue to build on his 132 wickets from 36 Tests so far. “Herath has been around a long time and is a class act,” the skipper said. “He’s the most experienced bowler I have right now and he’s taken the responsibility to shoulder the attack.” Sri Lanka will be bolstered by the return of all-rounder Angelo Mathews, who missed the first Test with a calf injury, but left-arm seamer Chanaka Welegedara has been ruled out with a groin strain. England, meanwhile, were left to ponder a new bowling combination after Stuart Broad returned home for assessment on a calf injury he sustained in the first Test. Tim Bresnan and Steven Finn are standing by to replace Broad, but both could play if England decide to drop spinner Monty Panesar and leave Samit Patel to share the spin attack with Graeme Swann. England are desperate for a turnaround after their fourth consecutive Test defeat in Galle, following the 3-0 series hammering by Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates earlier this year. While Pakistani spinners Saeed Ajmal and Abdur Rehman claimed a combined haul of 43 wickets in the UAE series, Herath and off-spinner Suraj Randiv grabbed 18 of the 20 wickets in Galle. Jonathan Trott’s determined 112 in the second innings and Ian Bell’s 52 in the first were the only signs of resistance by the tourists against the turning ball, while Strauss is struggling to find form. The England captain has gone 23 innings without adding to his 19 Test centuries, averaging a poor 28.52, and has managed just one three-figure knock in his past 48 innings. Teams: Sri Lanka (Probable): Lahiru Thirimanne, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene (c), Kumar Sangakkara, Thilan Samaraweera, Dinesh Chandimal, Prasanna Jayawardene (wk), Suraj Randiv, Rangana Herath, Suranga Lakmal, Chanaka Welegedara. England (Probable): Andrew Strauss (c), Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Matt Prior (wk), Samit Patel, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Monty Panesar. Time: 10:00 local (10:00 IST)  |
