Current top 4 teams will go into the semis. Delhi, Chennai, Hyd and Mumbai.
Rajasthan has lost shane warne, that will be a big -ve. Bangalore can fight, but not enough to move to top 4. Punjab have decayed drastically.. it will be very tough for them to get any momentum now. Kolkata.. the least spoken the better.. Why are they even playing??

Chennai will rock and other Semi Finalists will be DelhiDaredevils Royal Challengers Dark Horses for winners with Chennai and possibly MUMBAI INDIANS
A point most of us wud've noted by now is the composition of the MI team.It hasnt used/bought any english player in this vesion of IPL.(Duminy is a south african!!)by english player i mean,players of english origin i.e aussies,kiwis or frm england.yet they r fairly succesful.i mean nt in the dumps like KKR.its bankin solely on the experiences of sachin,jayasuriya n bhajji.but its fringe players like bravo n duminy n raje n nayar r doin gud jobs 4 the team. the lesson 2 learn(if MI makes i 2 the semis...) here is homegrown ranji heavyweights shudnt b overlukd in comparison 2 the foreigners!specially 2nd rate aussies like warner n katich.i think all the team owners barring Ambani consider the english origin players 2 b akin 2 gillis n symos. Luk at the condition of over rated Jessy Ryder!a classic example.
Chennai (- over confident team) Mumbai (- inconsistent) Punjab (- not playing as a strong unit) KKR (- world class players, - stupid coach, - stupid captain, - owner absent from most of the matches)
I think Chennai and Mumbai are going to loose all their matches (expect the one between them).

Dont worry VickyIsBad ... will give u treatment for free.. u r in beginning stage .. cool VickyIsBad
Yes yes MI have done what India did in 1983, have come from back !!! the team seems to have found the rhythm !!!
However on practical side, i feel Deccan, Delhi and Chennai are going strong .....so on that perspective, though i want MI to take the cup, i would say if MI makes to Semi its achieved the target.....as far as wining the cup i think Delhi seems to be strong so far !!!
Agarkar believes in give and take.. he tells the batsmen before bowling to him that where he is going to bowl the next ball and where his players are will be standing.He does it 3 time in each over.This is the secret of his success
