IPL got off to a great start
IPL aka Indian Premier League got of to great start at Chinnaswamy grounds on Friday.The opening match between kolkata Knight riders and Bangalore Challengers was a one sided affair with Knight riders winning the match by a comfortable margin of over 100 runs.
The special about that match was Brendon McCullum ’s Superb 158 which included over 12 sixes and as many as 7 fours.
The next match between Chennai Vs Punjab was somewhat a close contest by Twenty- Twenty standarads.McCullum’s record of century in 53 balls stood only one day as Hussey (Elder one) scored a century of just 50 balls for super kings.Bandrinath and Raina contributed with useful cameos and in the end Chennai reached 240 in 20 overs.Punjab got of to a good start with James Hopes scoring 79 ,but most of others failed to contribute substantially with the bat which resulted Punjab losing the match .
The next one between Rajasthan and Delhi was a one sided affair with Delhi romping home with 9 wickets to spare in 15.2 overs.
