Hi all,
Hope all the Cricket fans are suffering from IPL fever this year too! For all those serious followers who never missed a match from the beginning of this season, You people would have come across the unexpected fluctuations of the teams except of Delhi DareDevils. Like, Kochi Tuskers Kerala didn't perform well at the starting of the season. They lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Pune Warriors but later on they won 3 matches consecutively and now in 4th rank in standings. Likewise, Chennai super kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Pune Warriors, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals started of well but now suffering. Delhi daredevils didn't enter the season so far, they are giving out very poor performances. Mumbai Indians, Kings XI punjab and Deccan Chargers are maintaining their standings.

Being a CSK fan, I am bitterly disappointed with how they have gone about defending their title this season. They have lost a few close ones, but the team seems to be lacking something. I think they need to start knitting some wins pretty soon or they will be out of the tournament pretty soon.
Cheers!

Ya, Me also from Tamil Nadu and a serious supporter of CSK. But felt very bad of them when losing to Mumbai Indians. Losing against Mumbai Indians is atleast bearable because they've got great talents when compared to last year and best fielding side this IPL. But Losing to Kochi Tuskers Kerala is something very bad. They are rookie for IPL. When Pune Warriors were able to win against them, CSK also can with ease. I don't know what's happening to them. May be I feel we are missing Makhaya Ntini very badly. It's alright! Anyways, Chennai Super Kingsku oru vizil podu!!!!!!!!!That's all we can do!

Yes, it is like snake and ladder game. You cannot predict anything before. Let them play Twenty 20 and lets enjoy it. The top four will play the semis. Actually the teams who can stay in the top four after playing 14 matches will qualify. Now if reached, they need to maintain till 14th matches. Else better luck next time. MI and some teams are overall okay. Rests are either forwarding or backwarding. Good Luck to all the teams.

The main problem has caused after adding two more teams which makes total 10 teams. Earlier, when there were 8 teams only, they had to play with each other in home and away, which means each team had to play 14 matches. Now, according to 10 teams it should have increased to 18 matches per team. Which will lead total number of matches in IPL to many, nearly 100. But many don't want it, especially players, franchises because for players too many matches and for owner too many expenditure. So IPL committee has decided to give each team 14 matches only. That means a team say KKR can play with five teams twice, and once with rest four. Which reduced the total number of matches. Same rule applies to other teams too. Hope you have understood now.

Its very much difficult to predict now. I thought this time of IPL will be quiet boring because of too many teams playing in this season. But i went wrong and now each and every day very difficult for me to predict. I don't know who will win this IPL it is too difficult to predict now. Every team is playing in its own way and earning the points.
