IPL ..Some nerve breaking Moments as it gets closer to End..

My second post on IPL..

As i thought earlier that Mumbai Indians Or Delhi daredevils will win this years Tournament..Now after todays match result between those two teams ,i just got sure that one of those teams is now entering Semi-finals.. Thanks to Dinesh Karthik superb Match-winning Innings!! He was literally quiet in the tournament so far but came good today......But Why Against Mumbai !!

Actually i wanted both teams to be there in semifinals....and a possible final..

But now equations can go wrong for either of the team ...mind my word CAN!!

Still both the teams can enter Semifinal spots..How??

See how is it possible..

After todays win Delhi stands with 15 points after all their matches ...Thanks to rain gods which gave them 1 Crucial point for free against Poor Dada's Kolkata Team...


Chennai superkings are at 14 points with one match remaining against Deccan chargers on tuesaday..so they should loose their last match and end up with 14 points..

And Mumbai indians will play Rajasthan on Monday..so they should win...then they have their final match against Bangalore Royal challengers..which ideally they should be winning..because every Tom-dick-n-harry are beating this Poor(Rich!!) Mallaya's Team..

So if Mumbai wins both their matches they will go to semifinals comfortably..but if they loose one of those matches..then it becomes little tricky...
suppose Mumbai misses to win on Monday and Chennai wins on Tuesday...Then Its All bye bye for Us we Mumbai-indians Fan!!

So we(Mumbai-indians) have to win on monday against Warne's team to avoid all Ifs- n- Butts for chennai's tuesday match...and believe me we have Sachin who certainly gives Fearsome dreams To Mr Warne ...

And if chennai wins on Tuesday then we ll have to again win our last match against BRC.That ll be a tense match certainly...A virtual semifinal for us..

I think i have confused u all...So i try again my better for one last time..

Chennai wins on Tuesday..Mumbai MUST win both the matches..and delhi is out..
Chennai Loses on Monday..Mumbai Loses one of either match..then those poor mathematical Run- rates come into some use to decide between Mumbai or chennai both with 14 Points at the end...with delhi securing semifinal spot.
And finally which i want..Chennai Loses..And Mumbai wins both matches..and Mumbai and Delhi through to the finals. ya i correct..semi-finals!!

Anyways who cares which team Wins..They all are part of This Gr8 INDIA!! isn't it!

Ufff!! I hope u understand my Guesses...Nyways if not..just enjoy IPL..and Look at this years Big Marketing Event coming to an exciting end.

But Why i m supporting Mumbai and delhi both..simple..Keep reading!!

India is Leaguing Forward- "IPL" but not everywhere..Why?

I heard million times That "Only Change is constant" and possibly first time i am appreciating it so hardly and loudly and Proudly....For One thing IPL..

First season of IPL would have certainly overwhelmed Mr Lalit Mody and His Team.

As i studied Marketing,i am sure it is going to be a live case study in management colleges across India in near future and probably someday in Harvard!!(Surely Not An exaggeration :) )..Also a good topic for Group discussion for admissions into premier and Not-so Premier institutes.

Again Hats-Off To Mr Modi!!
(Mr Political Modi should thank this cricketer Modi for Bringing "Modi" in headlines for Good reasons)..and take a bet it's going to be remembered for Decades Now.

It s certain now Indians are Crazy ,Hungry,Thirsty,Mad ...Give me some better word...whatever it be.....They just love this game of Cricket.

Moreover ,some scientific study should be done to find out why people care so much about entertainment and especially Cricket and believe me if someone wins a Nobel prize someday for studying the Indian psychology to love this game so much..i 'm therefore supporting my argument that People die for sports like Football,Basketball,Baseball,Ice-Hockey,Tennis and so on..

They say Indian Culture is More than 5000 Yrs old and We have become addicted to this Game called cricket which came to us not long before but just 15o Yrs Max!!

....so what's the point??


Point is that ...India should be proud of the fact that we are now globalists not in terms of Businesses alone but Culturally also...We have adopted this game so well that We are able to revolutionize this game and take it further as some evolution is happening at our end...

Test matches to One day matches and Now this T-20 Cricket..

We are such a global power in Cricket now that players are now dying( Poor shoaib Akhtar and PCB) to play for this tournament..It's a another matter of fact that Stakes are only Money & Money & Money..

Because sometime back players used to play for their country to show their Love for nation , Patriotism, and in pre-independence era to fulfill their duties to British raj..

Game has changed Dramatically so fast(Literally!! Such is an Unpredicatable game of Cricket)....I feel sorry about those English County teams where test playing players used to go for practice matches and also to earn Dollars..probably Pounds..
also i can just laugh and thank to Britishers that they gave us another good thing after Railway which is CRICKET!!

It s certainly bringing FOREX to country and also putting back India on Road map of world- Sports as a strong nation ....Not at Olympic levels but surely as a global power at This sport at least.

As everyone knows T-20 is the future Now...so coming Seasons of Indian Cricket and also international cricket will define the Cricket in more meaningful manner.

When at international level various nations will host such a tournament like IPL in their home country and it will become so much competitive for EPL and UEFA cup to beat cricket Viewers hip...assuming this game is catching up in newer countries also.

we will soon have something like Asian Cricket League and Australian Cricket League..Just few wild guesses..Probably you know better leagues!!!

Only request to Mr Modi to join Indian Hockey and do the same magic..It s so strange and so sad that for a country like India Who was just Unbeatable (Like West-Indies in cricket)..now finds it difficult to qualify for Olympics...

Indian Hockey League (IHL) was not that brilliant success story as IPL is scripting now even though some People like me feel that if the entire concept is taken from there.

Anyways as Jack Welch also believed that it's not important that you come out with an Original idea but what 's important is that How well you can execute an Idea..and that's exactly Mr Modi has done .....

Only request to BCCI as governing body to not overexercise their powers and do injustice to other Cricket leagues like ICL and ruin careers of other good players ...

As it 's taught in Theory of Economics that Pure Monopoly is Bad for the markets and for marketers also..so if BCCI doesn't stop its monopolistic attitude then Customers like us will do the Justice in time to come!!

Till then IPL's first season is Just Rocking..And i feel Mumbai Indians Or Delhi Daredevils is Going to win this Tournament this year.
