Delhi Daredevils Vs Chennai Post Match Presentation IPL 2012

Posted: 12 May 2012 11:42 AM PDT


Hilfenhaus: It was nice to start well. I wanted to put them under pressure. Sehwag might not have enjoyed that delivery. We have played very well as a team and we chased professionally. I need to improve my death bowling. There was not much swing on offer.

Hilfenhaus is the MoM for his haul of 3/27 in four overs.

Dhoni: We did not talk much about the run-rate. The focus was on authentic cricket. We needed to negotiate the new ball and we had to play normal cricket. Michael Hussey and Vijay played very well. The ball was not swinging that much. There was no lateral movement after the second over and that is why we did not bowl Hilfenhaus out. He is a better death bowler and he can only get better. Albie is bowling well with him and he is giving a lot of spark to the side.

Sehwag: It was difficult to defend 114. The wicket was good to bat on. We did not score enough runs. Hilfenhaus bowled an unplayable delivery. We have three games to go and we hope to win some of them.

Kolkata Vs Mumbai Indians Post Match Presentation IPL 2012

Rohit Sharma: To be honest, there was no game-plan. I just wanted to go there and spend some time. The idea was to stay there and bat throughout the 20 overs. We were batting first so we wanted to put up a decent score. We knew that the wicket will be slow. 160-170 was our target in mind but we had wickets in hand and could post 180+. Partnerships are always crucial, in any format of the game. We always speak about getting a 100 run partnership in the meetings and we managed to do that. Gibbs and I wanted to bat the first 15 overs and then take it from there.

Rohit Sharma is the Man of the Match

Gambhir: It was an outstanding innings from Rohit. 180 was a tremendous effort. Can’t blame the bowlers, they have been fantastic in the series and it was just an off day. You can’t do a lot when someone plays like that, we just have to move on. We have to play Chennai and Mumbai now and we can’t keep thinking about this. The way Yusuf batted today was a positive. We still have 3 more games and if these 2 can continue their form, we’ll be the team to look out for.

Harbhajan: It’s nice to see the boys coming into form at the right time. Rohit played brilliantly and Gibbs was superb. He was responsible and batted through the overs. It was important to get Gambhir out and it helped that we got him in the first over. Every time we walk on the field we want to compete. Eden Gardens has always been special, it has been lucky for me throughout my career. It feels special to beat Kolkata here.

Dhoni: Run outs are something we want to improve on. We would like to omit them and move on. Every game is a fresh game and we need to get on with it. The biggest negative for us is our top order batsmen. They have not fired in this edition. We will bowl first, as the wicket will remain same throughout. Delhi are good chasers and we need to contain them. Only one change in our side, Jakati comes in for Yo Mahesh.

Sehwag: As a team we are playing really well. Now we are in the crucial stage of the tournament and we need to continue with our form. Morkel and our fast bowlers are doing their job pretty well so far. Our batting and bowling has clicked this time. Russell and Nadeem are not playing. Van der Merwe and Umesh replace them.

Harbhajan: Sachin has been a great inspiration for all of us. He is the reason why most of us started playing cricket. It looks like a good wicket to bat on, the history at Eden suggests that it is easier to score in the first 15-20 overs but after that it gets really difficult. It is quite hot and I think it is always bettter to bat first. Gibbs is fit and Munaf comes in for RP Singh.

Gambhir: When you come onto the field and play competitve cricket, you have to be excited. We just need to continue the way we are playing, we know winning is a habit and we want to keep that habit going. It is not about taking on Sachin it is about taking on the team Mumbai. Hopefully we can try and bowl well. Brendon misses out because of an injured finger so Bisla replaces him and Shakib comes in for Sangwan.

IPL 2012 Preview: Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Super Kings, 12 May 2012

Posted: 11 May 2012 06:30 PM PDT


They might be upbeat after a narrow win but defending champions Chennai Super Kings’ chances of making the playoffs are still far from good as they take on tournament-leaders Delhi Daredevils in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) 2012 match.

The four-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals last night came as a massive boost for the two-time defending champions, who are placed fourth in the table with 13 points with six wins and an equal number of losses from their 13 matches so far.

Even a win would not be enough for Chennai to make the next grade as five teams – Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab – have four more matches to go.

The Daredevils and Knight Riders enjoy the top two positions with 18 and 17 points, respectively from 12 matches each and these two would have lesser problems in making the semifinal.

Delhi had emerged victorious the last time CSK clashed with them but given that tomorrow’s match is a home game for Chennai, the result could be different.

Delhi are ruling the roost thanks to consistence performances by captain Virender Sehwag with Australian import David Warner adding to their firepower.

Even though Sri Lankan Mahela Jayawardane and New Zealand’s Ross Taylor have not been among the runs.

Home conditions and fans support will go in favour of Chennai, who boast of a better batting line up on paper and their bowlers have provided the required oxygen for winning matches.

Chennai seem to be better chasers and have played to their potential after bowlers succeeded in restricting the rival batsmen.

But if Sehwag, Jayawardane, Taylor and Warner fire in unison and post a solid total, Delhi’s bowlers Irfan Pathan, Nadeem Ahmed and Morne Morkel would hold the edge. (PTI)

Teams:

CSK (Probable): Michael Hussey, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Srikkanth Anirudha, MS Dhoni (c&wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Albie Morkel, Yo Mahesh, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ben Hilfenhaus.

DD (probable): David Warner, Virender Sehwag (c), Mahela Jayawardene, Naman Ojha (wk), Yogesh Nagar, Andre Russell, Venugopal Rao, Irfan Pathan, Morne Morkel, Shahbaz Nadeem, Varun Aaron.

Time: 14:30 GMT (20:00 local)

IPL 2012 Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians, 12 May 2012

Posted: 11 May 2012 04:30 PM PDT


Yet to seal their last-four berth, heavyweights Mumbai Indians would look to stop the Kolkata Knight Riders’ six-match winning streak in what promises to be an exciting Indian Premier League contest on Saturday.

Thanks to the scheduling, both the teams face each other for the first time this season despite the tournament already into its business-end.

It has been a contrasting journey for both teams as the Kolkata Knight Riders find themselves comfortably placed at number two with eight wins from 12 outings and virtually assured of a place in the play-offs.

They have lost just once in their last 10 appearances as consistency has been the middle-name of the Knight Riders, a team mired in controversies in its forgettable first three seasons.

On the other hand, the Champions League Twenty20 winners and pre-tournament favourites Mumbai Indians are yet to find consistency and have been slightly lucky with seven wins out of 12.

Mumbai Indians batting has looked ordinary with some domination in patches while their bowling — superbly led by Sri Lankan sling bowler Lasith Malinga — has been quite potent.

The Knight Riders too have been outstanding with their slow bowlers but it’s Gautam Gambhir’s aggressive captaincy and the way he has led from the front that has brought results.

With five half centuries — that included three man-of-the-match performances — Gambhir has not only led by example but has motivated the side.

The way he handed over his MoM award to youngster Debabrata Das (11 from 4 balls) for playing the finisher’s role in their spectacular five-wicket win in Chennai, speaks highly of the left-handed skipper.

At a time, the team’s star-studded batting line up of Brendon McCullum, Jacques Kallis, Yusuf Pathan and Manoj Tiwary was going through poor form, Gambhir showed faith in his teammates and backed his batsmen to the core.

In their last outing, Gambhir once again set the tone with a 21-ball 36 but it was Brendon McCullum who anchored the 154-run chase with a 44-ball 56, his first half-century this season.

The Knight Riders would be high on confidence after their win in Delhi and the much-needed four days’ break in between would have recharged their batteries, with four matches remaining in the league stage.

An interesting battle would be on the cards when West Indies tweaker Sunil Narine would look to spin a web around Sachin Tendulkar.

It will be exciting to see Tendulkar unravel the mystery of Narine who has been constantly troubling the batsmen in the shortest format of the game.

His contest against Knight Riders speedster Brett Lee would also give the sellout crowd a full worth of their money.

Mumbai Indians’ loss to Bangalore at their home turf in their last outing has meant that the battle for the last two spots has become more competitive as the Harbhajan Singh-led side would be keen on the upsetting the Knight Riders applecart.

Solving the opening riddle would possibly rank high on the Mumbai think-tank’s priority.

The team has struggled to find a partner for Tendulkar at the top as James Franklin has not yielded much results.

Barring Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma, no Mumbai batsman has displayed consistency. The team would look for the likes of Kieron Pollard to fire in the next few crucial matches. (PTI)
