this is the commitment of mallya, which indirectly hints that its not merely ckt all the way in these matches. just like all the politics and corruption in corporate world to go up the cadre, the same applies here in ipl and to win matches, many sacrifices are made to achieve the victory 'target'. ipl is masala fixed ckt.

What is wrong if VM is asking for some accountability. That is what every ordinary indian face in their work each day. Why not the cricketers?
We are paying them for our entertainment...if they cant then... shove off
In a country of billion we have shewags and tendulakars in every district.....only the oppurtunity which was lagging....is now going to be provided by IPL and its leagues

if you think that we have found abundant talent in ipl, then u r wrong. i dont think these players will be able to excel in intl cricket because of lack of technique...only slogging does not guarantee success.

Fat Warne may think he is a brilliant captain, but the fact is his team is riding pure luck. Yesterday, Watson was plumb LBW at 5 not given by umpire. Lolit Modi may have something to do with this also. But they are bound to fumble soon. Most of their wins have been very close games, helped on by umpires.

Modi's instructions is also indicated by the fact stupid umpire Steve something refused to call thrid umpire for Watson and only after Sehwag insisted he referred and Watson was found out. Hope this stupid guy does not officiate even a school game ever.

Mr Timepass, inb the mid of Jaipur chase, there was some technical issue relating to 3 rd umpire . it was corrected but not informed to the onfield umpire thats why the confusion took place. Swag himself told this during the presentaion cermony. so dont comment without watching the match completely
always goes for gambling some gives Malik last over and sometimes bowls himself out in fact being a bad bowler i want to say "sehwag gambling dhoni pe hi aacha lagta hai"

Sehwag thought Badrinath in the other end would not bat, so Malik was ok for Gony. But, Gony already had two sixes in 20 earlier, so Malik had to ask a 'mali' to retrieve the 1st ball.
Rajasthan team was my favorite team. But after the last match I feel that they are an arrogant team and stupid team who know only to cry and complain.In the last match, Shane Watson was easily short of his crease and run out.But that Stupid umpire Steve Davis did not refer it to the third umpire.But Sehwag persisted and got the decision in his favor.Now after nearly losing a close match, Rajasthan team is crying that umpire give that out.Sehwag's team played according to the spirit of the game by asking whether it was out or not.And for those who think that Shane is a good captain, well he is not.Wins doesn't make a good captain, character makes a good captain.Sehwag and Dravid are good captains than Warne bcoz even after losing they retained their composure and did not criticize the players.Sehwag gave the last over to Yo.Mahesh who went for 35 runs in his 3 overs.But he believed in him, and as a captain you have to believe in your players.Sehwag defended his players in the post match press conference and thought that the two drop catches made the difference.Sehwag you are the best captain that India never had.Warne is just a media-hyped captain and I pray to god that Rajasthan should not win IPL.

if you think that being a nice guy is all u need to being a captain then we should just go ahead and put nelson mandela as our team captain so that he can create peace and prosperity and so that everyone can live happily ever after. im sure dravid is a brilliant captain, whenever one of his team mates drops a catch he probably goes 'shabash beytey, tum ek din ek bahud badey khiladi banogey'

you really must think that we are numb skulls to actually believe the 'o i was a fan of rajasthan royals before but not anymore' stop trying to diguise yourself as a former RR fan you are obviously a fan of one of those looser teams that have lost at the hands of rajasthan royals. nyways i dont see any solid reasons as to why RR dont deserve to be where they are. for the people who dont think warne isnt a good captain then look at ansodkar, he brought a nobody and did the talented player a whole lot of good by giving him a chance and thus letting him gain confidence. your argument about sehwag and rahul dravid being good captains is an extremely flawed one as you can see that dravid has not been able to lead his side to more than 2 victories. being an indian i am able to look at this through non-biased eyes, I have no idea why its isnt the same with the many other indians out there, i repeat.... numb skulls..... demaag khokla!

Rajasthan has been riding pure luck for a while now and soon they will stumble. Teams which use up all their luck in early stages fumble badly later on. The team is not even balanced and Warne is a horrible captain. Watson was out plumb LBW at 5 and again a white umpire said not out.
KAIF SACRIFICED HIS WICKET FOR A BETTER BATSMAN SMITH. IT SHOWS THE TEAM SPIRIT AND THEY DO ANYTHING FOR SHANE WARNE AND RR. ONCE DHONI SAID HE WANT PEOPLE WHO CAN STAND IN FRONT OF SPPEDING LORRY JUST TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS.RR CAN EVEN STAND BEFORE A SPPEDING TRAIN
