KKR won the 4th match of the IPL 5 against RR and now they have won 2 matches in a row after they have lost first 2 matches.It looks they are back in the grove and they will win more matches in IPL.And it was the way around for the Royals as they have lost 2 matches in a row after winning the first two matches,so now they have to work hard to get into the winning ways.
In today's match the man of the match went to Sakib as he played brilliantly and there were some good performances from batsmen as well as KKR won the match in the last over.But I thought they may have won the match much earlier as they had wickets in hand but it was the killer punch from Sakib as he hit 6 in the penultimate over and took the knight riders close to the win and in the last yousuf who is known for hard hitting played such an eligent shot that he himself was happy with the shot.And now the KKR had climbed the ladder in the points table and are 4th in the table.

Hi Sud,
KKR are now carrying their momentum well till the end.They have won 2 matches in a row.It will be a great uplift for them.Rajasthan began their campaign well but have failed in their last two games.Now the tournament is wide open for all the teams.KKR got their combination right with foreign players.That has brought success for them.Rajasthan scored low total which was not enough to defend against KKR.Shakib truly deserved man of the match award for his all round performance.He was selected by his leader Gambhir by having faith in him over Mccullum.KKR may climb up the ladder for certain times but they must keep it going on.

Yes they have a good combination of foreigners as they are having 3 all rounders in the team who are foreigners is the greatest plus point for Gambhirs men.Lets see how far they play well in the rest of the matches as they do have a good potential as the lineup of KKR is great.

It was a bad loss for the KKR as they could have won the match and would have got 6 points but in the end Punjab held their nerve and won the match.I think the Kolkata team is going down in the same way as the chennai super kings and royal Banglore as they were the teams which made it to the Semi finals ion the last years IPL.Leaving Mumbai out rest of the teams have not performed well.

I think this IPL is already turning out to be better in cricketing terms. With most teams being competitive and results going either way the competition is beginning to get exciting. I think more than the razzmatazz what the fans was is even exciting contest on the cricket pitch and this times results seems to indicate that.
I thought KKR were very good with the ball in the first half and had done the home work in the first half itself.
Cheers!

This years IPL has become interesting as there is no team who is clear winner till now just leaving the Mumbai Indians out as they have shone good cricket.But the rest of the teams are equally poised.
