Delhi Daredevils are back!
The Grand Indian Tamasha (IPL) is back again! A couple of months of total entertainment, that's what it is. Hate it or like it, its here to stay! And to enjoy:)
I have been a follower of IPL almost since the time it started, more so since I was staying in Mumbai during that period. And when in des, its tough to not get involved in the whole hoopla. I have been a Delhi supporter since the beginning, because of staying in Delhi for a long time, plus being a Sehwag fan. Not because he is the best Indian batsman out there (he isn't) but just because there is no one like him out there.
To be fair, Delhi did perform well in the first couple of seasons too. Never winning the trophy or getting close to it, but putting in a decent effort at least! And so was a lot more fun following the IPL. Last year was different though, they sucked thoroughly, and were at the bottom of the heap. And with it, went through the window, my interest in IPL too! It's tough to follow so many matches when you don't really support anyone.
Glad to see though, that the Daredevils are doing well again:). Reading an article like this makes you want to get back to the show! So now IPL is on.. and glad to be back:).

Dilli has the best chance ever to win the IPL this time round...what an awesome batting line up!
ReplyDeletealso completely echo your comment on Sehwag...he might not be the best, but there indeed is no one like him :-)
touchwood!
Deletethey've never got close to the trophy, so don't want to get my hopes up high!!
yeah, Sehwag jaisa to bas Sehwag hi hai! despite his so many flaws, he's a treat to watch (on the rare event he plays that is!!)..
quite ironical that Sehwag has a better track record in Test matches than in ODIs/ T20s, considering that his game looks tailor made for the shorter version
Deleteyeah, that is very true.. he is very valuable as a test player.. but I think thats because he plays tests the same way as he plays ODIs and T20s:)
