First of all, Congratulations to RR. They deserve IPL trophy. Points to be noted in RR team; 1. Lead by an Australian (All know that they are the best) 2. Treated IPL as Cricket and not as Entertainment 3. Team work 4. Team is know by its players and not the franchisee Owner. (Any one know who is the owner?) 5. Young and energetic team lead by World class player

1ST POINT: THEY ARE THE BIG CHEATS. YOU SHOULD BE KNOWING THIS WHEN WE TOURED AUSTRALIA. IF THEY ARE THE BEST THEN WHY DECCAN CHARGES CAPTAIN THE AUSTRALIAN GILCHRIST LOST ALMOST ALL THE GAMES? SO YOU MEAN THEY ARE WORST?
2ND POINT: SO DO YOU SAY DHONI, TENDULKAR, ETC. TREATED THE GAME AS ENTERTAINMENT AND NOT CRICKET??????????
3RD POINT: OTHER TEAMS WON AND LOST ONLY BECUASE OF THE TEAM WORK. WHEN MUMBAI INDIANS LOST, IT IS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF TENDULKAR BUT THE WHOLE TEAM. DO YOU AGREE????? AS DHONI SAID WE LOST AS A TEAM. WHICH CAPTAIN HAS EVER SAID THIS? HATS OFF TO DHONI.
4TH POINT IS BASELESS. TELL ME WHO IS THE OWNER OF CHENNAI SUPER KINGS? MUMBAI INDIANS? ETC. YOU MUST BE KNOWING THE OWNERS OF PUNJAB AND KOLKATTA TEAMS. OTHERS YOU MUST NOT BE KNOWING.
5TH POINT: AS IF OTHER TEAMS DOESNOT HAVE YOUNG AND ENERGETIC PLAYERS LEAD BY GREAT CAPTAINS. CAPTAINS LIKE GANGULY, TENDULKAR, DHONI, GILCHRIST.
YOU MUST ANSWER ALL THESE NOW. THINK AND ANALYSE PROPERLY.

Dear Siva kumar, can you answer the question "why the trio (Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly( declined to play in T20 worldcup for India but immediately agreed to play in IPL 20-20 tournament?". They had passed lot of comments such as T20 is not good for cricket etc.etc....now it looks ok to them. If you honestly reply my question, you will get the answer for your 2nd point.

hi ashpal, I dont think the trio declined to play T20 worldcup. instead they were not selected in the squad of youngsters. They now play IPL as they got a chance. Yes somewhat i agree that they play for entertainment and they are included in the team for pulling crowd.

well i guess our batting legends trio are finished now they dont have any thing to prove now ...as sachin is unfit again ganguly is not that kind of form to get selected in national team instead of better performer like suresh raina and yusuf pathan infact he batted in 2 games only .about dravid he already had admitted that t20is not his kind of game

Sorry, bro. Please check the history. Before the Indian team selection, The trio declared themselves as not Available for T20 worldcup. hence, they were not in the team. Sachin's interview where he spoke against T20 format in cricket, is also live in my memory. These 3 are the best cricket asset India has. we cannot find good textbook cricketers such as Sachin and Dravid. Their attitude is questionable. that's all.

Hi shivkumar, thanks for your comments. First of all, I am talking about RR's success, rather than other teams failures.
I am not pointing at any of the great players like Schin, Ganguly. etc. Infact they are my favorite players.
Technically speaking Australians are good cricketers there is no doubt about it. May be their behavior is not good. I agree with that.
In case of Deccan Chargers, Gilcrist came very late in to the action. It was VVS who was leading team.
And if you think that by talking good about one person, I am critisizing other good players, then I am sorry. But you should understand that I am not doing so. Infact I have not taken any names in my comments.

Hey praveen,
good obervation.but totally ur wrong.i think nobody knows the owner of chennaisuperkings.
i think the winner of the IPL is fixed when the frenchise auction time.
they chose RR because to boost the frenchise auction money next time. u can see the same Yyousaf pathan performance in bangaladesh sure iam telling he canot scroe more than 10 runs. RR original strenth is wecan saw their first nmatch agaist DD where they lost in worst.
so u can see the yousaf pathan how playing in Bangladesh series.if he failed means can u belive IPL is fixed

Dear Shivakumar, I am surprised at your thinking speed and direction, Just now only you were talking about Dhoni, tendulkar etc. and now you are saying that IPL is itself fixed. Make up your mind bro. looks like you hate RR like anything. do you have any personal grevainces with RR team?
