his face shows that he is doing some sort of favour or forced to be on field makes all sorts of faces and never pepup his team ... good player but definately a worstcaptain
in a situation like chasing target beyond 160 you need good opening. and the best man to do that is Uthappa. Yuvraj should have promoted Uthappa to opening and should have brought himself up in one down position. He foolishly promoted some bad hitters and now searching for reasons. It is bad captaincy that caused Pune's loss.
Pune need to work more on meltal and professional approach.After first two matches I thought Pune will reach top 4. They lost their way. Harsha sum it up well. They have good players but they fail to put up a good team. Individually there are at least 3 or 4 match winners but failing to click as team. They need to look at roles and responsibilities more clearly and Yuvi cannot bat below number 4. He is the best in the team . If they clean up their mind and have a professional approach they can beat any team in the competition. The best utilization of resources in this contest I have seen is done by KKR . Doesn't look like a threatening team but winning consistently
Playing cricket non stop in 40 degree for 45 days after such a long season is gonna burn out most of these international players.This tournament has to be rescheduled for late September & only once in two years.The over doase of cricket is bad for game, however, Indians love it as this offers them more time to waste & avoid work which is our favourite past time.
I think Rahul Sharma should take tips and consult Anil Kumble. Anil bhai also used his height to great effect with his guile. I think Rahul Sharma can eb the next Kumble

Many came and many went; Legends are made not only by performance but also consistency and durability
had malinga been bowling for any other side in the IPL, he would have been called, for delivering balls from below shoulder height.since malinga is in sachin's side everything is ok.rayyadu is off the field due to injury,but comes back to keep wickets, despite the rules saying otherwise. sachin is given benefit of two lbw decisions by umpire reiffel(hawk's eye showed the ball would have hit middle stump on both ocassions) in the kochi match, for getting a century. that is the advantage of playing in sachin's(god)side. this IPL trophy is the one trophy missing from sachin's cupboard.

Doesn't make much sense other than showing hate on Sachin. Malinga is international bowler cleared by ICC. More over his action is legal. It is just round arm and is with in ICC rules. Yesterday he bowler great delivery to get rid of Yuvi. If possible appreciate the talent rather than putting some unreasonal comments against Sachin. In current form he is the best T20 bowler in the world like styen in tests.

Can you ever see beyond that ? He is not able to captain well does not mean he likes to be lavish. funny fellows.
Will Pune Warriors who paid huge amount of money of around 1500 crore is worth the money spent on the team ... Poor Yuvraj seems no where by saying that he doesn't understand whats happening... wherever he goes, his old days of Punjab follow him..
Yuvraj has unwittingly hit the nail on the head . PWI is performing poorly BECAUSE the captain has no clue . The batting order is senseless . Their most destructive T20 batsmen come in at 5 and 6 after the top order has wasted a lot of balls . Ryder may be mercurial , but why pick Smith when he has been in such poor form . Why not pick a bowling allrounder like Parnell and pick a domestic batsman like Mishra instead of a domestic pacer ? Yesterday the Pune team while chasing 161 were 45 for 3 after 10 overs and there seemed to be no urgency at all .

Certainly, he is a poor captain . not everyone has the taste or competence of becoming a leader, Yuvi is among them ..
