IPL 10- Synopsis of best in Season

Indian Premier league-10
46 days of long gala
8 Teams
Champions: Mumbai Indians

Congratulations Mumbai Indians for creating history by becoming three time IPL champions,the best team of this season 10,Arguably the best team after chennai super kings in the Whole IPL across all seasons.

Credits to all the teams for playing out of their skin and has given us 46 days of non stop entertainment and inspired many millions across the world who aspire to become future cricketers.

So what is this IPL-10 all about?

Here are my brief views

Best Innings of the Season 10?

SRH vs RPS

SRH 1st batting  176/3
RPS 130/4 (17 overs)

Dhoni-25(22)*
Tiwary-5(2)*

Bhuvi in 17th over has taken the wicket of stokes and almost took the game away from RPS despite dhoni still being not out as required run rate has gone high.

47 required from 3 overs.

What Dhoni did?

Before this match Dhoni was not the best of form in season 10 and Bhuvi being in red hot form.but then what happened was truly unbelievable.Though Dhoni was one of the  best finisher in world cricket but this finishing was very special to pune team and all dhoni fans.This innings was not just Dhoni's well known sheer power hitting,it has calculated shots,placement shots and also the best running between the wickets and all these things happened in span of final 3 overs and RPS emerged as a winner successfully.

Much needed stat:
Bhuvi( The highest wicket taker and best bowler of season 10)final over went for 19 overs, his most expensive over in season 10. Dhoni hit 18 runs of just 5 balls in bhuvi over,

Dhoni-61(34)*

-Great comeback by Dhoni aka MSD*

Best over of the season 10?

Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat lions
GL-153/9
MI-153 all out

Match ended in a tie, but then result was forced through super over.

Mumbai Indians batted first in super over and scores 11 runs.
so, the target for GL is 12 runs in an over which is highly chaseable target at least in a super over as the best 2 batsmens will face it.
So, here the batsmen in business are Brendon Mccullum and Aaron finch.
Though Bumrah has rated as the best death bowler, he didn't start the over as best. Over started with no ball and then a wide before he bowled a second ball.
Bumrah has just given 3 runs in next five balls and as a result Mumbai indians emerged as a winner.
Bumrah has successfully defended a target of 12 runs against the mighty likes of Mccullum and Finch.
Though Bumrah is known as yorker specialist, he has shown great variation in super over.
Slower balls, yorker on off stump, half cutter.

So, This could be termed as a best over of the season-10

India has found a genuine death bowling specialist- Jasprit Bumrah

Best match of the Season 10?

Though we have witnessed many close matches and unpredictable results this season, i would like to rate two matches as the best nail biting finishes of the season considering the scenario and importance of those results.

one is
Punjab vs Mumbai Indians
High scored game and people have witnessed a run feast
453 runs scored by both teams in 40 overs

A must win situation for Punjab to be alive in season 10, but then its against Mumbai indians in Mumbai.

Despite great hitting by Mumbai batters especially hardik and pollard, one fine over from mohit sharma turned things around and sealed the game for Punjab.

The best run feast entertainer and nail biting finish.

Second is
The Ultimate final
Mumbai Indians vs Rising pune supergiants

Probably one of the best finals across all the seasons of IPL.
This time this is not high scored game but still this match is the best of the season because its bowler's game.
It doesn't happen often in T20 cricket that bowlers dominating the game and it happened in the final.
Not only high scoring games are entertaining but low scoring games can also be entertaining as well and can give the best thrill and this match was epitome for low scoring entertainer and thriller.

In my view its tie between both matches but as i have to rate one among them as best i would like to say it's final match between Mumbai indians vs Rising Pune Supergiants as the best match of season considering importance of this particular match.

Crazy Incident of the Season 10:

Eliminator 2
Kolkata knight riders vs Mumbai Indians
Bangalore

Match was going on between KKR and MI and its eliminator 2 but unexpectedly match was going in very dull manner  but then what happened?

The Chinnaswamy(Bangalore stadium) crowd got their voice out chanting "RRRR CCCC BBBB"
in absence of their home team. No words to say about Bangaloreans love towards their  home team.


My Best Playing IPL XI 2017

1)Warner
2)Tripathi
3)Rohit
4)Stokes
5)Dhoni( Captain & WK)
6)H Pandya
7)K Pandya
8)Naraine
9)Morris
10)Bhuvneshwar
11)Bumrah

Note: I considered both performance and also tried to bring balance to the team.Looked to make equal proportion of right and left handers among batsmens.

What was missing in Season 10?

Irrespective of every individual fanism towards their state teams, everyone missed Virat's Aggressiveness on field and also ABD 360' Batting.

We all missed RCB's Entertainment

Best Team of the Season 10?

With due respect to Mumbai indians and also all other teams, i would like to say the best team of this season is arguably Rising Pune Supergiants.

Prime reasons could be

1) Smith's brilliant captaincy

2) Great Bounce back after first four matches.

3)Wasn't so strong as batting unit nor bowling unit but proved very strong as a team.

4)Smith and Dhoni joint leadership

So, Did i forget anything to mention here?

Yes, It's MSD captainship as a non skipper and his magic behind the stumps.

Raising Pune Supergiants Deserves to be winner alongside Mumbai indians but so unfortunate to be on the other side, Anyway great end to the journey of 2 years for Rising pune supergiants.

And also Good bye for Gujarat lions as well for the end of their 2 years journey in IPL

But then Who Is Back?

The Best team of IPL till date 
C for Consistency in Game   - C for Chennai
S for Supremacy in Game          - S for Super 
K for Kings in Game as well      -K for Kings

Welcome back CSK

(I know i have shown my fanism towards CSK)

The team known for making stars and most underrated team as well

Rajasthan Royals    - The First Ever Champions of IPL

Welcome back RR as well

What's ahead of Season 11?

The ever waiting auctions, as per the current scenario, all players are in to auction and season 11 could turn out as interesting as season 1.but then all IPL teams are looking forward to retain 1 or 2 players and have forwarded their proposal to IPL committee. It would be interesting to see whether all players are in to auction or franchises can be provided with an opportunity to retain few players.

Time has to say about it.

Wait & Watch

Marathon-My First Experience

Sunday, Feb 19th, NITTE Mangaluru 1/2 Marathon

Morning 5.30 am

I woke up by morning 5am and went to the location

Crowd looked like sea of people,place was surrounded with lot of spirit and enthusiasm

i started observing all the people around,everyone around me looked very cool and few people r busy in taking selfies, few people busy in doing warm ups.

There was a prior announcement of  cash prize for 1,2,3 winners in marathon but what i observed is none of their faces looked like they really bothered about it.

And i was busy in thinking about how i can win the cash prize with having so much of leg pain and every thought made me feel so nervous

And there the race started and before revealing about how far i succeeded in marathon, i would like to share my pre preparations for marathon.

I registered two weeks before for marathon and i thought i should go for practise daily but i ended up practising only for two days but daily i thought a lot about how to win the race.

At that point of time for me winning the race is winning cash prize.

Now coming back to my experience during marathon, for the first 2-3 Kms i was among top 10 runners and then slowly many people started crossing me and all of a sudden i realised i cant win it and at the end i completely lost and went back to room by getting very disappointed.

Even though i went back to room my thoughts still around marathon race only and then i started doing post marten of where i went wrong and how i lost it.

I realised the only reason i lost is because of my mindset.

I found few differences between myself and the other runners in the race

1)I participated to win the cash prize whereas others participated because they wanted to experience the marathon

2)I ran for money and others did it out of passion

Even though i didn't win but it had changed my perception towards marathon.

Before participating in marathon i have seen it like a sport and as i'm a bit passionate about sports, as like every sport i participated in this also and tried to win.

Off late i started reading about other peoples experience of marathon just to understand their perception towards it and then i have found this quote by Emil Zatopek

“We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon.” – Emil Zatopek

Yes, Marathon is not a sport to win.It's an experience ,Next time i will make sure that i participate in marathon to have a better experience and to enjoy but not to win cash prize

Beauty of Sports-INDIA

INDIA was well known for its culture

But , the two things make Indians crazy is Sports and movies.

Well here the discussion is abt what makes India united ....

Movies r well divided in to their own industries such as Bollywood,Kollywood,Tollywood etc 

And about sports I feel it s d one which makes all Indians United.

Jst a day back I have realised a classic example of such unity among Indians and I'm quite inspired about the beauty of sportsmen 

Before talking about the classic example I would like to share an open incident well known to everyone.

Three,four months ago,

Cauvery issue which has a history of more than 100 years made two state people go on neck to neck and more over it has created a dispute between two states common people. I saw kannadigas trolling Tamilians and vice versa. Well people who r not affected by that incident in any way also started trolling all d common people and at the same time even movies also can't unite two state people. Vikram starrer "Iru Murugan " release was stopped in Karnataka and in return Kannada movies r stopped in tamilnadu . Adding more even people started saying like Sir Rajinikanth  is our kannadigan and Dr.Abdul Kalam is our Tamilian (ofcourse Dr.Abdul Kalam is not film star).So dis simply conveyed even movies can't unite Indians.

But,

 Classic incident:

Test match 5: India Vs England

Two Karnataka players Rahul and Nair who scored high in d match which happened to b in chennai (Chidambaram stadium) got applause and standing ovation from the chennai crowd. From outside view dis incident showcases Tamilians applauding Karnataka players effort, but Reality is no one bothered abt which state dey belong to because they represented team INDIA and whole India applauded them.

An example which showcased Sports bring the Unity among all the Indians.

Proud to be an "INDIAN"

I have read his post in die hard cricket fans and I prolonged my idea which was inspired by his post mentioned about the match incident.

Demonetisation of Old Currency-Is it a right move????

November 8th evening around 8pm, Media was informed earlier that there will be an announcement by PM Narendra Modi by evening, everyone expected PM may announce war on Pakistan,(Because of the hype created by media).

But the same day evening an announcement came regarding Demonetization of currency probably a news as big as war against Pakistan.

The intention behind the idea of demonetization is good in all the ways, but why so much of opposition to that?

Implementation of a great idea went wrong in every possible manner and the end result is common people suffered big time, though the intention is good but there are no particular precautions taken.

This move by the government can b a great move if they had implemented properly, and to make things more worse the later announcements made by the government as precautions to the demonetization effect has gone wrong.

Many of their moves post demonetization lack in clarity.

I Never heard any poor person complaining on rich people becoming rich, if someone(Leaders) wants India to b developed, Make Poor people Rich. I mean to say provide the comforts of living to all the people equally.

I do not support this move by the government because v r in the world where money rules people.so, corruption and black money seems to be undercontrol(Because of some sudden moves like this) but, as long as people are there , there will be an existence for black money and corruption.

MY VIEW ON IDEA

Are there Good/Bad IDEAS?
@November 26,2014

There is no Good or Bad idea......Its all depends on how we implement the idea which we got....If we implement well it can be a good idea or else there is something gone wrong in implementation of your idea........so don't differentiate an idea into good or bad,if we start differentiating.....it will lead to  lack of ideas......

                                      An IDEA can change EVERYTHING
