KKR should not lose heart.It is a good team and once Brett LEE,S/Hassan etc join it will be a team to watch.Most important thing for the team will be to shake off the past and start believing in themselves.In fact KKR should have won the match comfortably given that at half way stage they were cruising.That win would have been much more than just a win for that team that has been losing match after match and was the only team not to have made it to the semis in the last three version.It was so close, i was feeling sorry for the srk kids on whom the camera was panning again and again who must have felt disappointed yet again.Poor fielding further dented the side confidence and Gambhir got his strategy all wrong.He should open the innings w/o the fear of an early exit.He should not think that if he gets out rest will not be able to pull through.That is negative thinking.He should repose more faith in his batting side.
KKR can be rest assured tht their dreams of winning this edition will never be realised...Ganguly is the soul of KKR and he did a decent job ofpulling the team together out of the woods last season, not to mention the runs he had accumulated and a couple of daring catches... KKR simply chose to ignore him and they will will pay for this deed... KKR and shahrukh will only go down even further..

It's ok guys, anyway as long as Tamil cinima is getting high standard, no other language from any part of the world will get famous in our place. I agree with one fact they should have sung more Tamil songs than Hindi songs because people of Chennai could not able to understand the Hindi songs which ultimately resulted in opening ceremony flop.

there are many agendas behind this....the lobby need Hindi to get popularize in South. they are injecting this through Hindi Words in Cricket Commentary and After Games Analysis...., through Hindi ADDs....that is really bad in a Multi Linguistic Country....

worst part is that we - indians - are okay with and are ready to accept English which is not an Indian language but are not ready to accept other indian languages...
When it was started atleast 5-6 players used to be from the same state which the franchise represent. Now Most of the teams have max number of outsiders and forein captains. Look at RCB, No one from karnataka. Captain is not from India! It is pity that Indian audiance spend lot of money and time on this mindless joke called IPL. Go India go! All the money invested on players and profit made out of sponsorship will be recovered by you through price rise.
Jack Kallis got out at the crucial moment in the match with lolly pop catch. Yusuf got run out due to bad call for single by Jack Kallis when he was at 49. Also Gambhir bad captaincy is the reason to lost the match. Gambhir would have to colme at No.3 instead of Yusuf.

I think it was Pathan's call that got him run out. But I agree on bad captaincy from Gambhir.
Gambhir is reponsible, his irresponsible deceision & drop catch , take away the match from KKR. what he supposed to do at no.6 & Pathan who is good finisher came at no.3!!!!and the result as expected--Gambhir should learn from his mistake infact take lesson from Dhoni, how to win close match. It's really Dhoni the best captain in world & KKR management whom to blame, earlier it was Dada now no Dada in KKR team, bought Gambhir/Pathan with very high price & the result is big zero--
YOU WERE BEATING US BACK IN 90S ALSO IN WORLD CUP MATCHES, BUT PAKISTAN WAS A FAR FAR SUPERIOR TEAM BACK THEN THAN INDIA, 96 QF WAS A MISMATCH, BUT OUR PLAYERS WERE ALWAYS HUNGRY FOR MONEY TO GIVE IT AWAY TO YOU GUYS, CAPTAIN PULLING AT THE END ETC, TALENT IS TALENT, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEATING A TEAM OR ANYTHING. I WOULD PAY MONEY TO WATCH MESSI, EVEN ARGENTINA GETS BEATEN BY BRAZIL OR ANYONE ELSE. WHAT WAHAB RIAZ DID TO YOUR SO CALLED STRONG BATTING LINEUP SHOULD BE AN EYE OPENER FOR YOU TO TAKE THESE PLAYERS SERIOUSLY, AND AJMAL JUST MADE TENDULKAR'S REPUTATION LOOK RAGGED IN THAT BOWLING DISPLAY, YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT TALENT IS ABOUT NOT ABOUT JUST WINNING. ONE BALL HE BOWLS TENDULKAR AS AN ARNMER AND THE LITTLE GUY WAS PLUMB LBW, ONLY TO BE OVERTURNED BY A TWEAKED DRS, NEXT BALL HE MISSED THE LINE COMPLETELY TO BE ALMOST STUMPED, YET, YOU SAY YOU DONT TAKE THESE PLAYERS SERIOUSLY. BOWLING WISE INDIA IS NO MATCH FOR US, PERIOD. BATTING WISE ALSO PAKISTAN ALWAYS PRODUCED BATSMEN WHO COULD WIN US MATCHES UNLIKE PILE UP INDIVIDUAL RECORDS AS YOUR PLAYERS DO. INDIA MIGHT HAVE WON SOME CUPS HERE AND THERE FOR FLUKE, BUT SEE PAKISTAN WILL TAKE ON ALL WORLD CUPS COMING UP SOON INCLUDING THE 2015 WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL BACKYARD FOR PLAYING CRICKET UNLIKE COWARDS WHO RELISH ON HOME CONDITIONS.

pakistans real problem is now they posess dna of americans....noncricket players......and some afghans..again the same....
and brought back Macculum as Captain to humiliate Dada....
result KKR could win 1 match and was at bottom of the table
In 2010 KKR won 7 matches still Dada was humiliated in aconspiracy by fake SRK to not bid for him...
paki guy SRK has humiliated Dada ..but Souravs proteges like Yuvi,Sehwag,Zaheer,Bhazzi have sent packing SRKs favourite paki team crasing in world cup....good slap for SRK
