Dadaji played a captains knock for KKR, he even scored 3 boundries in his knock of 33 in just 29 balls and what a boundry dadaji hit, even the fielder couldnt not hold it and it went for four. Dadaji also tried to hit sixes but the boundries were a little far away. Dadaji is a gr8 batsmen and this can be proved by the consistent top edges dadaji hit to short balls. Only dadaji is capable of hitting top edges consistently cause he is a gr8 batsmen, unlike Gilchrist, Hayden etc who are older to him. By the dadaji is 37 years 255 days old, Hayden is 38 years 142 days and Gilchrist is 38 years 126 days. Though Dadaji is a year younger to them, but yet he is dadaji !!!!
This time for SRK to lament; he is deeply engrossed with the wild thoughts that he shouls have taken all Pak players in the KKR and Afridi to lead the team
T20 Team headed by Sourav Ganguly can never make more than 150 and therefore has no place in IPL. Sourav should handover the captancy to some junior team member now for a change! Also, the fast bowler Ishant Sharma should not play in T20 or even in 50 over one-day games as his bowling style always help batsman to hit for 4 or 6.
T20 is a fast game of power, strength and strategy. Sourav has only skill (strategy) & not the other two! So, KKR need to do the necessary changes in the interest of the Team.
john buchanan must be smiling somewhere..and rightly so.nothing worse than a sagging oldie leading the team.A captain who cannot inspire is not worth at all.poor srk is being taken for a ride.buchanan was neutral.come on guys he has done a lot of good for aussies - 1 worldcups is not a joke..he cannot become a bad coach suddenly. infact towards the end of last season kkr had started doing good.still he got the boot due to the strong saurav lobby.soon, he would get injured and give the slip.those have been saurav's tactics for ages. same with mumbai 1-2 good performances is not enough - consistency is needed and that is possible only if you give more opportunities to the youngsters and not hogging all limelight by opening in this format.the indian oldies are not up for the modern game.atleast rcb are smart and they bat dravid down the order, unlike kkr and mi.no wonder they are doing good. whereas for kkr and mi is same old story..good at start then the slide..

Helloo...mister...keep ur comments up to nonperforming captain and player like ganguly and to some extent struggling sachin...but not for dravid....gem of a player still in 20-20 format....dravid takes challenges and according to team needs plays at different batting order...he is not the one who plays with in his comfort zone like gangu and sachin, but takes responsibility to bat at important position in the team according to team needs....any one can open in 20-20 format n throw his bat for quick runs but what's important is batting in the middle overs and finishing the game while setting the target or chasing it...that's where dravid is good at....that's what team depends on dravid....sachin still cant play this kind of a role for team india or for MI team....u got it..!!!!! carefull abt commenting on dravid...better know what roles he can play for his team rather than selfish 50's and 100's frm so called "masters " and "blasters"..

I think u still have the different yard stick for indians and foreigners. Whatever they do are good whatever we do are bad. So do us a favour why don't u settle abroad if u already not done that
I was a terrible defeat and to get up from this KKR wil need Gayle magic...... Ganguly is was good captain in first two matches but later on he is lost it...he plays as if he is no longer interested.....giving 160 plus to RR when Pathan did not click is a crime...the way Brad Hodge played looks as if even he has lost interest in criket....I think ganguly should retire and be coach of the team... Y r they wasting so much money on a coach asstnat coach bolwing coach when u have all the internationally experiance players i dont undertstand and paying 750000 for a foreign player is a blunder and tht to to a old pacer bolwer like shane bond is madness

The batting of KKR is becoming listless except for some exuberance shades of Manoj tiwari who seems hitting of big score....or at least have guts ....no other kkr player seemed to exult POWER.....they play to wait for slog overs n then lose wickets so that NEXT player will score !!!! Shame ....we want KKR to do some magic ...the way KKR catapulted to Dhoni's Chennai Kings shows...........
the problem is lying among themselves...if the people who supported dada and made him captain ...if he was not captain then cricket board could have dropped him for a match or 2 but now they are in hopeless situation...by the time mccullum is in india they would be already disqualified to enter best 4 teams..as the way the other teams r winning...Looks like last year DC,RCB,CSK & MI(instead of DDR) will make to top 4
