From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Testand One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies; Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs,Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhaiand Everton Weekes have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, while world-record holders Brian Lara and Sir Viv Richards were both West Indies Test players.As of 19 June 2009, the West Indian team has played 457 Test matches, winning 33.26%, losing 32.38% and drawing 34.13% of its games.

The history of the West Indies cricket team began in the 1890s, when the first representative sides were selected to play visiting English sides. The WICB joined the sport’s international ruling body, theImperial Cricket Conference, in 1926, and played their first official international match, granted Teststatus, in 1928 thus becoming the fourth Test nation.

Although blessed with some great players in their early days as a Test nation, and beating England for the first time at Lord’s on 29 June 1950, their successes remained sporadic until the 1960s when the side changed from a white-dominated to a black-dominated side. By the 1970s, the West Indies had a side recognised as unofficial world champions, a reputation they retained throughout the 1980s.During these glory years, the Windies were noted for their four-man fast bowling attack, backed up by some of the best batsmen in the world.

The 1980s saw them set a then-record streak of 11 consecutive Test victories in 1984 and inflict two 5–0 “blackwashes” against the old enemy of England. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, however, West Indian cricket declined, largely due to the failure of the West Indian Cricket Board to move the game from an amateur pastime to a professional sport coupled with the general economic decline in West Indian countries, and the team today is struggling to regain its past glory. The West Indies are currently ranked 8th out of the 10 Test playing nations, and 9th in the One Day International rankings, which likewise only cover the 10 Test playing nations.

In their early days in the 1930s, the side represented the British colonies of the West Indies Federation plus British Guiana. The current side represents:

National teams also exist for the various different islands, which, as they are all separate countries, very much keep their local identities and support their local favourites. These national teams take part in the West Indian first-class competition, the Carib Beer Cup (earlier known as the Busta Cup, Shell Shield and various other names).^[10] It is also common for other international teams to play the island teams for warm-up games before they take on the combined West Indies team.

Most cricketing nations use their own national flags for cricketing purposes. However, as the West Indies represent a number of independent and dependent states, there is no natural choice of flag. The WICB has therefore developed an insignia showing a palm tree and cricket stumps on a small sunny island. This insignia, on a maroon background, makes up the West Indian flag. The background sometimes has a white stripe above a green stripe, which is separated by a maroon stripe, passing horizontally through the middle of the background. Prior to 1999 the WICB(C) had used a similar insignia featuring a palm tree and an island, however there were no stumps and instead of the sun there was a constellation of stars (Orion).

The following eleven stadia have been used for at least one Test match. The number of Tests played at each venue followed by the number of One Day Internationals and twenty20 internationals played at that venue is in brackets:

Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad (56/56/2)

Recognised as the ‘Mecca’ of West Indies cricket, The Queen’s Park Oval has hosted more Test matches than any other ground in the Caribbean and first hosted a Test match in 1930. The ground is considered one of the most picturesque venues in the world of cricket, featuring the view Trinidad’s Northern Range. It has a capacity of over 25,000.

Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados (45/28/1)

Kensington Oval hosted the region’s first Test match in 1930. It also played host to the first-ever Test triple century, Andy Sandham’s 325. Its capacity has been increased from 15,000 to its current 28,000 for the 2007 World Cup. It hosted theWorld Cup final.

Bourda in Georgetown, Guyana (30/11)

Bourda first hosted a Test match in 1930. It is the only Test ground in South America, and the only one below sea level and with its own moat (to prevent the pitch from frequent flooding). It has a capacity of around 22,000.

Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica (44/29)

Sabina Park first hosted a Test match in 1930. The Blue Mountains, which are famed for their coffee, form the backdrop. Sabina Park played host to Garry Sobers’ then world-record 365 not out. In 1998 the Test against England was abandoned here on the opening day because the pitch was too dangerous. It has a capacity of 15,000.

Antigua Recreation Ground in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda (22/11)

Antigua Recreation Ground first hosted a Test in 1981. Three Test triple centuries have been scored on this ground: Chris Gayle’s 317 in 2005, and Brian Lara’s world record scores of 375 in 1994 and 400 not out in 2004. The historic stadium was removed from the roster of grounds hosting international matches in June 2006, in order to make way for the island’s new cricket stadium, being constructed 3 miles outside the capital city expected to be completed in time for its hosting of matches for Cricket World Cup 2007. However, after the abandoned Test match between England and the West Indies in February 2009 at the new North Sound ground, Test cricket returned to the ARG.

Arnos Vale in Arnos Vale, Kingstown, St Vincent (2/20)

The Arnos Vale Ground a.k.a. The Playing Fields first hosted a Test in 1997.

National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada (2/16)

Queen’s Park, Grenada first hosted a Test in 2002.

Beausejour Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia (3/17/1)

The Beausejour Stadium first hosted a Test in 2003. It has a capacity of 12,000. This was the first stadium in the Caribbean to host a day-night cricket match. The match was between the West Indies and Zimbabwe.

Warner Park Stadium in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis (1/10/1)

The Warner Park Sporting Complex hosted its first One Day International on 23 May 2006 and its first Test match on 22 June 2006. The stadium has a permanent capacity of 8,000, with provisions for temporary stands to enable the hosting figure to past 10,000.

Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana (1/10)

The Providence Stadium hosted its first One Day International on 28 March 2007 for the 2007 Cricket World Cup and its first Test match on 22 March 2008. The stadium has a permanent capacity of 15,000, and is to host Test cricket instead of Bourda.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua and Barbuda (2/6)

The Sir Viv Richards Stadium hosted its first One Day International on 27 March 2007 for the 2007 Cricket World Cup and its first Test match on 30 May 2008. The stadium has a permanent capacity of 10,000, and is to host Test cricket instead of the Antigua Recreation Ground.

Four further stadia have been used for One Day Internationals, but not Test matches. The number of One Day Internationals played at each venue is in brackets:

Albion Sports Complex in Albion, Berbice, Guyana (5)
Mindoo Philip Park in Castries, St Lucia (2)
The old ground of Queen’s Park in St George’s, Grenada (1)

Windsor Park Stadium in Roseau, Dominica (2)

Windsor Park is another major cricket ground in the West Indies and home venue for the West Indian team. Construction first started on it in 2005, and it finally opened in October 2007, too late to serve as a venue for the 2007 Cricket World Cup. It hosts first-class cricket but is yet to host its first test, however it held its firstOne Day International on 26 July 2009. It has a seating capacity of 12,000.

Rajasthan Royals (Hindi: राजस्थान रॉयल्स) is a franchise cricket team based in Jaipur,India that plays in the IPL. The team represents the city of Jaipur which is the capital of Rajasthan. The team is captained by Shane Warne for all the seasons. The team’s mascot is a Lion named Moochu Singh . The team anthem, ‘Halla Bol’ is sung by Ila Arun. They became the champions of the inaugural IPL tournament in 2008. The IPL had terminated the agreement with Rajasthan Royals on 10th October 2010 along with Kings XI Punjab for violations in agreement and breach of contract on the part of the franchise. This decision was challenged by the respective teams and BCCI lost court cases against the Royals and decided to stop legal action and allowed them to participate in IPL. 2011 along with Kings XI Punjab

The Rajasthan Royals franchise is owned and chaired by Manoj Badale. Other investors includeLachlan Murdoch, Aditya S Chellaram and Suresh Chellaram. The Group acquired the franchise for $67 million. Incidentally, this was the least expensive franchise in the Indian Premier League and probably the least fancied team in the league at the beginning of the tournament. Bollywood actress and Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty and her business partner (now husband) Raj Kundra paid approximately US $15.4 million for a 11.7% stake before the start of IPL 2 in early 2009, therefore valuing the team at $130 million.

It made a pre-tax profit of $7.5 million in 2009.

Prior to the start of the inaugural IPL season, many considered the Royals as possibly the weakest team in the IPL, giving them little chance of competing well in the tournament.Evidence of the latter opinion seemed to be confirmed when the team lost its first match against the Delhi Daredevils in a 9 wicket loss.However the Royals won their next game by defeating the Kings XI Punjab and continued to win the next five games in a row. The Royals built up an impressive 11-3 record after their fourteen premilinary round matches; this included a consecutive 5-game and 6-game winning streak with an undefeated record on their home ground and a spot at the top of the points table. They were also the first team to book a place in the semifinals with their 65 run win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Shane Warne’s captaincy and simultaneous coaching was praised and well received by everyone, including opposition teams.In addition, many players of the Royals team had consistently played well. The Royals secured a place in the finals with a victory against the Delhi Daredevils.

The Rajasthan Royals became the winner of the first IPL tournament, when they defeated the Chennai Super Kings by 3 wickets in the final played on 1 June 2008. With the scores level with one ball remaining, Sohail Tanvir scored the winning run and therefore prevented the match from being decided on a bowl out.

Each player and representative on the team was awarded a medal and the team was presented with the DLF Indian Premier League trophy along with a cheque for US$ 1.2 million prize money. Many of the Royals’ players also took home individual awards for their performance during the tournament;Yusuf Pathan claimed the Man of the Match award for the final match, Sohail Tanvir finished the tournament in possession of the Purple Cap (the IPL’s leading wicket taker) and Australian all-rounderShane Watson was declared the Man of the Series.

The Royals did not have a good start during the 2009 season. In their opening game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who were second last in 2008, the Royals obtained the lowest score in the tournaments history. Rajasthan started to gain momentum slowly with Yusuf Pathan’s explosive performances in victories against Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils giving hope to the Royals and their fans. However, inconsistency became a major factor; much was expected of South African captain Graeme Smith who was playing in front of his home crowd and who in last season’s scored 441 runs, he together with Swapnil Asnodkar were not able to string together strong consistent performances. The absence of previous year’s stars Sohail Tanvir and Shane Watson was also a major factor. Tanvir was not eligible in this season due to the political strain between India and Pakistan, and Watson was called up to play for Australia in the series against Pakistan in the UAE. Many also considered the sending of Mohammad Kaif back to India a poor decision as his batting could have contributed to the team’s batting performance. The Royals failed to make it to the semifinals after losing their last two matches against Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rajasthan started the season looking to emulate their success in 2008 but suffered a three game losing streak at the start of the tournament. They bounced back well with a four game winning streak but they were knocked out after a defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their final game of the third season of the IPL.

Rajasthan Royals were the least active franchise during the players auction. The team didn’t have a designated icon player, which saved a lot of cap space for the franchise. However the franchise was surprisingly low key during the auction, and in the end got penalized by the IPL committee for failing to meet the minimum bidding criteria of $3.3 million. The highest bid by Rajasthan Royals was for the Indian middle order batsman Mohammad Kaif, who came off the board at $675,000. Shane Warne was named the coach and the captain of the side. The Royals were unique during the 2008 season as they were the only side to have an English cricketer in their squad, Hampshire’s all rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas who only played one match, against the Delhi Daredevils in Jaipur on 11 May, before returning back to England. The Rajasthan Royals also selected Justin Langer and Morne Morkel in the player auction, but both declined to instead play county cricket. In 2009 Season the team has cut down six Indian players from the previous years squad. They are batsman Mohammad Kaif and other relatively unknowns Dinesh Salunkhe, Anup Revandkar, Srideep Mangela, Ashraf Makda andAzhar Malik.

Hayden said he had decided to give back to the city where he had practiced playing on turning tracks ten years ago on Australia’s 2000-01 tour to India.”About a decade back, when I came here to practise on turning tracks, I told myself standing in an empty Chepauk stadium that I would score a century for Australiaone day,” Hayden told the Times of India. “I did that, and now this is a way of giving something back to the city from where I have got so much.”

Kolkata Knight Riders is one the 10 franchise teams taking part in the Indian Premier League. It was bought by Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with Juhi Chawla Mehta and her husband Jay Mehta for a price of USD 75.09 million.

The Kolkata Knight Riders made a good start to the season by winning their first two matches againstRoyal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers. Kolkata Knight Riders’ opening batsman Brendon McCullum scored 158 runs in the first match, which is a record for the most runs ever scored by a batsman in a Twenty-20 match. However, the team began to experience failures and lost the next four matches. The team managed to stage a comeback of sorts by winning the next three matches, helped by strong performances by Sourav Ganguly and Shoaib Akhtar. But their performance dipped again and they lost the next three matches. These included their match against Mumbai Indians, in which they were bowled out for 67 runs, the lowest score by a team in the IPL 2008 season.When their match against Delhi Daredevils was washed out due to rain, they lost any chance of making it to the semi finals. The Knight Riders ended their season on a winning note by defeating Kings XI Punjab on their home ground..

The rift between Sourav Ganguly and Shahrukh Khan took a new turn as Ganguly was removed from the captaincy in the 11th hour and replaced by Brendon McCullum. Rumours are that John Buchanan wanted Ganguly out. First, he floated a series of theories discussing “multiple-captains” before Ganguly was removed. Soon thereafter, a blog popped up on the web whose author was an anonymous blogger, who claimed to be a member of the team and seemed determined to reveal every team secret, warts and all. The posts described what the blogger claims are team meetings, arguments between staff and team members, post-match parties and pre-match strategy. It created a lot of media frenzy and bad blood within the KKR, but was eventually found to be a fake.

KKR also set up a Talent Resource Development Wing (TRDW) in 2009 to spot local talent nationwide. This was based on BCCI’s 2002-06 model which had discovered talents like MS Dhoni andSuresh Raina. The wing was headed by Makarand Wainganker, who had first initiated the TRDW concept for the KSCA. However, Wainganker eventually resigned after persistent disagreements with John Buchanan over team selection and Buchanan’s “multiple captains” theory.

They were the first team in IPL to select their cheer leaders by a talent hunt show called Knights and Angels, judged by Sourav Ganguly and Guest Star and hosted by Bollywood actor Purab Kohli. However, the winning team did not get a chance to perform at games during the 2009 season since local authorities only allowed South African cheerleaders to be used.

Kochi Tuskers Kerala vs Delhi Daredevils Cricket highlights 30 april 2011 36th match

Kochi Tuskers Kerala (Malayalam:കൊച്ചി ടസ്കേഴ്സ് കേരള) is a franchise cricket team that plays in theIndian Premier League (IPL) representing the city of Kochi, Kerala. The team was one of two new franchisees added to the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the 2011 season, alongside the Pune Warriors India. The team franchise is owned by Kochi Cricket Pvt Ltd., which is a consortium of multiple companies. Their first IPL match was against Bangalore Royal Challengers on 9 April 2011 and their first win was against Mumbai Indians on 15 April 2011

The auction for expanding the initial eight franchises for the Indian Premier League was held on March 22, 2010. The cities involved in the auction were Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kanpur, Dharamsala,Visakhapatnam, Rajkot, Cuttack, Vadodara, Kochi, Indore and Gwalior. Two new teams were selected out of 12 teams, which bid for 2011 IPL matches. Sahara Group made the highest bid in the auction and chose to base its team in Pune, at the cost of 1,702 crore. Rendezvous Sports World made the second highest bid of 1533.32 crores, and elected to base its team in Kochi. The two newfranchises were sold for a combined sum of money, which was greater than the combined purchase price of all the original eight IPL franchises.

With the Kochi team and Pune team joining the list of IPL franchises, all four southern states in India have an IPL franchise, while Maharashtra has two IPL franchises.

The franchise has been at the centre of many controversies since its inception. BCCI had given the franchise ultimatum to dissolve factionalism and infighting or face scrapping. After a series of lengthy meetings the company sent a letter to the BCCI requesting more time stating that the negotiations were in an advanced stage and they needed some more time to be sorted.

The BCCI announced that on 27 October it would decide the fate of the Kochi team and the BCCI insisted that the two cases of the Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royalswhich were expelled are different. The IPL Governing council decided to give them a 30-day termination notice which meant that the franchise would have to reply to the notice within 30 days and if the IPL accepted their agreement then the franchise would no longer face the prospect of being terminated The Kochi promoters submitted a letter to the BCCI officials with regard to the revised structure of agreement hammered out between them. The BCCI governing council meeting was held on 28 Nov 2010 at Nagpur to decide the fate of Kochi franchisee. BCCI president Shashank Manohar said the board needed more time to discuss the issue and to take legal opinion and that the final decision on Kochi Tuskers Kerala will be taken on the BCCI governing council meeting at Mumbai on 5 December 2010. After much speculation it was finally announced by the BCCI that it was satisfied with the agreements signed by the franchise owners and the team would participate in the 2011 IPL Season.

Kochi team management had announced “Indi Commandos Kerala” as the original team name in February 2011. The name and logo received much negative response from the fans worldwide.Things got worse by team management’s further decision to drop “Kerala” from the team name and the reported move to Ahmedabad as the home ground; comparatively high entertainment tax in Kerala (36%) was cited as the reason for the latter. This invoked a mass response in the social networking sites, particularly in Facebook, forcing the management to ultimately change the team name and logo. As a result, a voting poll was setup in the official site and the fans were provided the option the vote between either Kochi or Kerala as the first part of the name and the second part of the name from any of Titans, Tuskers, Tigers, Commandos and United.Tuskers which won this polling was selected as the team name and the full name was released as Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The decision to change the home ground also was dropped by the team management when Corporation of Cochindecided to waive off a 50% in the entertainment tax which now is 18% per game.

Federal Bank, a major Indian commercial bank in the private sector, with headquarters in Aluva, Kerala, will be the principal sponsor of Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The tickets for KTK’s home matches will be sold through Federal bank branches and their website.The Ticket sales of Kochi Tuskers Kerala was officially started in a ceremony hosted at the Le Meridian Hotel Kochi, on March 28. Soon after, the tickets become available at the teams official ticketing partner website kyazoonga.com.

Lotto, an Italian sports goods manufacturer is the apparel sponsor for the team.

V-Guard, an electronics company and AVT, a tea brand are associate sponsors. Elite Foods,Parinee Developers and Anchor Earth are the other main sponsors.

The current home ground of the Kochi Tuskers is the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi. Two of their 2011 IPL home matches are hosted at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at Kochi is a multi-use stadium owned by GCDA. HenceKerala Cricket Association (KCA) has entered into an agreement to take the stadium on long term lease and has completely over-hauled the ground for hosting IPL matches. Kochi Tuskers will host 5 home matches at Jawaharlal Nehru stadium. The remaining 2 home matches will be played at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.

The KCA have started planning a new world class international stadium at Edakochi, an area which lies in west Kochi. The capacity of stadium is said to be 50,000 and is expected to be completed in 2012.

KTK bought 17 players in the IPL 2011 auction, signing five specialist batsmen, those being Mahela Jayawardene, VVS Laxman, Brad Hodge, Owais Shah andMichael Klinger. The team signed six bowlers, the most notable being Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan. The others include Sreesanth, RP Singh,Ramesh Powar, Vinay Kumar and Steve O’Keefe. Four all-rounders were signed those being Ravindra Jadeja, Steve Smith, Thisara Perera and John Hastings. Two renowned Wicket-Keeper batsmen were signed, Brendon McCullum who is the leading run scorer in Twenty20 Internationals and Parthiv Patel. But KTK lost both the Australians all-rounders Steve Smith and John Hastings for the 2011 season due to injuries, without either of them playing a game for KTK.

The Srilankan players playing in IPL were asked to return by May 5th for a camp for upcoming Engalnd tour by the Srilankan Cricket Board. KTK’s captain Mahela Jayawardene and Thisara Perera were supposed to leave the team early, but BCCI and the Sri Lankan board came to an agreement and the players will now have to return only by May 18th. Mahela’s possible departure fueled off many speculations that Sourav Ganguly may join the team as then KTK can request the IPL Governing Council for a replacement of him as per the rule of same base price.

In Pakistan, a successful Flight Test of the natively developed Air Launched Cruise Missile, Hatf-VIII (Ra’ad), has been conducted performed.

Due to the ongoing process of developing better technical parameters of the weapon system, the test was performed. The newly developed Ra’ad missile has a range of over 350 km, and has been exclusively developed to launch from Aerial Platforms.

The missile makes use of Cruise Technology. This technology is extremely complex however, and only a few specific countries in the world have been able to develop it. This new system allows Pakistan to expand their possibilities on grounds of strategic standoff capability on land and at sea.

The Ra’ad has access to state of the art technology such as Stealth. It’s flies on a low altitude, ‘Hugging Terrain’ with high maneuverability, and has the ability to pinpoint targets with high accuracy, by using nuclear and conventional warheads.

The President, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee have appreciated the successful launch of the missile, and have congratulated the engineers and scientists on their amazing achievement.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Pune Warriors Cricket Highlights IPL 2011Bangalore. RCB vs PWI Match 35. Bangalore vs Pune IPL Cricket Highlights. PWI vs RCB Match 35 Highlights IPL 2011 Bangalore 29 April. Watch Pune vs Bangalore IPL Cricket Highlights..

Indian Premier League is a cricket tournament being organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India(BCCI) and backed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).For the inaugural tournament held in Apr-Jun 2008, the BCCI had finalised a list of 8 teams who will be participating in the tournament. The teams representing 8 different cities of India, including Bangalore, were put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February 2008 and the Bangalore team was won by Vijay Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid for a team in the IPL, next only to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries’ bid of $111.9 million for the Mumbai team. Bollywood actresses Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, and Sandalwood film stars Ramya and Puneeth Rajkumar are the brand ambassadors of the team.

The team won 4 matches in this season, losing 10 matches and managed to secure only the last but one position in the points table. Only one of their batsman, Rahul Dravid managed to score more than 300 runs in the tournament and they had to even bench their costliest foreign player, Jacques Kallis, for a few of the matches due to his poor form. The string of failures mid-way through the season led to the sacking of the CEO, Charu Sharma who was replaced with Brijesh Patel. Even coachVenkatesh Prasad was about to be sacked, but he saved his job by publicly apologising for the team’s failure. Vijay Mallya went on to publicly criticise Dravid and Sharma for the failures by saying that they had not selected the right team. He regretted that he had made a mistake by not getting involved in the selection of the team. They were the only team in the IPL to try out 11 opening combinations in 14 games. Eventually the chief cricketing officer, Martin Crowe resigned. It was decided that from 2009 IPL session onwards the team would be coached by former South Africa Coach Ray Jennings.

The team started with a win against defending champions Rajasthan Royals but quickly went on to lose a few games afterwards under the captaincy of Kevin Pietersen. However, he had to leave for national duty and captaincy was taken over by former Indian Test captain Anil Kumble. The team fortunes reversed and they beat Deccan Chargers to secure a 3rd place after the round robin stage in IPL2. In the semi final they beat the Chennai Super Kings convincingly who were led by M.S.Dhoni and crushed their hopes of winning the title. However they lost the final by 6 runs, in a close match toDeccan Chargers. Also Manish Pandey became the first Indian to score a century in IPL when he made 114*(73) against Deccan Chargers in their last match in the league phase.

Challengers had a mixed round of success in the third edition of the IPL. The team slumped to a defeat in their first match against the Knight Riders but came back strongly to win the next four games which started off with the highest successful run chase in IPL 2010 and the second highest successful run chase in IPL history against Kings XI Punjab at Bangalore. This win was followed by comprehensive wins against the Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings.Kallis and Uthappa were in tremendous form with the bat while Kumble was miserly with the ball,Steyn fast and accurate and Vinay Kumar wily picking wickets at the right time. However the team lost the next two games and after a roller coaster ride managed to sneak into the semis for the second consecutive season by virtue of their healthy net run rate beating Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders both of whom had equal number of wins and losses as the Bangalore outfit. In the semifinal the Challengers put on a shoddy display after beginning well to concede 77 runs during the last 5 overs of the Mumbai innings and did not bat well to lose the match by 35 runs. The team had the final laugh after they beat the defending champions Deccan Chargers against whom they lost the previous year’s final, by beating them all end’s up by 9 wickets to finish third for the season and thereby book a slot in the 2010 Champions League Twenty20.

Vijay Mallya wanted to associate one of his top-selling liquor brands, either No. 1 McDowell’s or Royal Challenge with the team. The latter was chosen, hence the name. The jersey colours of the team are red and golden yellow, the same as the Karnataka state flag, and the logo consists of the RC emblem with “Royal Challengers Bangalore” in standard format.

The players in the team (except for Rahul Dravid, who was the Icon Player), were selected in an auction conducted by BCCI on 20 February 2008. SouthAfrica’s Jacques Kallis at $900,000 became the costliest player to be selected to play for the Royal Challengers. This meant that Rahul Dravid, being the Icon Player would be paid $1,035,000 (15% more than the highest bid player in the team). Other players selected included the then Indian Test cricket captain Anil Kumble along with his team-mates Praveen Kumar and Zaheer Khan, West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Aussies Nathan Bracken and Cameron White, SouthAfrica’s Mark Boucher (Wicket Keeper) and Dale Steyn. The team also includedPakistan cricket team’s vice captain Misbah-ul-Haq although he wasn’t in the playing 11 for most part of the tournament.

On the last day of the 2008-2009 transfer window, Zaheer Khan was swapped with Robin Uthappa ofMumbai Indians, with no money exchanged. The team also acquired Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey from Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan fast bowler Pankaj Singh from Rajasthan Royals. The team also signed Eagles fast bowler Dillon du Preez as a replacement for Zaheer Khan.

The team management also suspended the contract of Pakistani player and current vice-captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team, Misbah-ul-Haq where as some other owners have decided to terminate the contracts of Pakistani players.

Kevin Pietersen made his way into RCB as one of the costliest players in IPL history. Kevin Pietersen was valued at $1.55m over a base price of $1.35m. Also Jesse Ryder from New Zealand was acquired in the auction at $160,000.

Vijay Mallya, the owner of Bangalore Royal Challengers, has kept the captaincy options open. Minutes after picking up Kevin Pietersen at USD 1.55 million, Mallya said he was happy with the price he got him at. “The captaincy options are open. The team management will take a decision on it.” The Royal Challengers, who finished second last the previous year, were led by Rahul Dravid.

On 21 March 2009 Vijay Mallya announced that Kevin Pietersen was replacing Rahul Dravid as the team captain for the 2009 season. The reason given was Dravid’s absence in the league due to family related reasons.However many suspect that the change in captaincy is the result of the poor performance of the team in the first season of the Indian Premier League. On the 30th April 2009, Anil Kumble was named the captain of the team for the remaining games of the IPL Season 2, due to Kevin Pietersen’s absence to play for England against the West Indies. Since then performance of Bangalore Royal Challengers has been instrumental and the turn around has been superb. The challengers found great success under Kumble’s leadership.

Kolkata knight riders vs delhi darevils cricket highlights 28 april ipl 2011 , kkr vs dd cricket highlights 28 april 2011 , delhi darevils vs kolkata knight riders cricket highlights

Delhi Daredevils (Hindi: दिल्ली डेयरडेविल्स) is theDelhi franchise for the Indian Premier League. The franchise is owned by the GMR Group.

The Daredevils dominated for much of the 2009 IPL, finishing at the top of the table after the league stages despite a mid-tournament injury to icon and captain Virender Sehwag and the relatively poor form of Gautam Gambhir.

A.B. de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan both had developed greatly since the last season and set up many large totals for the Daredevils, with deVilliers hitting one of only two centuries in the 2009 IPL.

The bowling, which in 2008 was composed mainly of overseas players (Maharoof, Vettori, McGrath, Asif) was bolstered by a trade to gain former Team India pacemanAshish Nehra in exchange for Shikhar Dhawan. Pradeep Sangwan and Amit Mishra had both improved since last season,

and the offseason signing of Dirk Nannes from Australia created a bowling lineup that was strong. In fact, the Daredevils left Vettori, Collingwood and McGrath on the bench for most of the tournament, preferring to go with the overseas combination of Nannes, de Villers, Dilshan andDavid Warner.

However, despite dominating for the regular season, the Daredevils crumbled in the semi-final under a fierce batting assault by Adam Gilchrist, who hit the fastest fifty in IPL history (just 17 balls).

Nannes in particular, who was again picked over McGrath, was punished by Gilchrist and later Andrew Symonds. The disappointing semifinal meant Delhi did not contest the final of the 2009 IPL despite having the best record in the league stages.

However, Delhi managed to qualify for champions league twenty20 because of their performance in group stage.

On 22 May 2009, the Daredevils entered a partnership with Eastern Titans of the South African domestic cricket competition to help develop young talent on both teams.

Iconic Australian pace bowler Glenn McGrath has expressed disappointment that he was not picked to play any match during the whole season,

and has placed a question mark over his participation in the IPL 2010 with the Daredevils.

Their engagement, which began on 20 October 2010, was announced on 16 November 2010.

After the wedding, the couple intend to continue residing on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, where Prince William is based as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot.

Engagement announcement
On 16 November 2010, Clarence House announced that Prince William, elder son of thePrince of Wales, was to marry his long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton "in the Spring or Summer of 2011, in London". They were engaged in October 2010 while on a private holiday in Kenya; William gave Middleton the same engagement ring that his father had given to William's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales—an 18-carat white gold ring with a 12-carat oval sapphire and 14 round diamonds. It was announced at approximately the same time that, after their marriage, the couple will live on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, where Prince William is based with the Royal Air Force.

The Prince of Wales said he was "thrilled ... they have been practising long enough", and Queen Elizabeth II said she was "absolutely delighted" for the couple, giving her formal consent to the marriage, as required by the Royal Marriages Act 1772, in her British privy council on the morning of the engagement. Congratulations also came in from the Queen's prime ministers, including Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard, who has moderate republican leanings. Further, Pete Broadbent, suffragan Bishop of Willesden, who has known republican views, published his reaction to the wedding announcement on Facebook. He later acknowledged that his words were "offensive" and subsequently apologised, but his superior, Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, instructed him to withdraw from public ministry "until further notice".

Following the announcement the couple gave an exclusive interview to ITV News political editor Tom Bradby and hosted a photocall at St. James's Palace. On 12 December 2010,Buckingham Palace issued the official engagement photographs; these were taken on 25 November, in the state apartments at St. James's Palace, by photographer Mario Testino.

The original engagement announcement stated simply that the wedding will be "in the spring or summer of 2011". On 23 November 2010 the date of Friday 29 April 2011 was confirmed. It was later announced that the day will be declared a public holidaythroughout the United Kingdom, formal confirmation being made by the Queen in Councilon 15 December 2010.The wedding date has also been declared an official public holiday in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey, the Falkland Islands, Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos.

As 29 April falls six days before elections for the Scottish Parliament and the Alternative Vote referendum, this has attracted political comment. John Curtice, a professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, stated for the Scottish elections that the date was "unfortunate" and was "likely to see the Royal Family getting caught up in political debate".

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military said it successfully test fired a cruise missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

An army statement said the air-launched missile was fired on Friday.

Pakistan test fires nuclear-capable cruise missile latest
Catch live action @megamaza.com

It said the missile, named Hatf-VIII, was developed in Pakistan and has a range of 220 miles (350 kilometres).

Pakistan routinely tests nuclear-capable missiles that are designed to match those of nuclear-armed India.

The two nations have fought three wars since gaining independence from Britain in 1947.

Pakistan (ⁱ /ˈpækɪstæn/ or ⁱ /pɑːkiˈstɑːn/; Urdu:پاکِستان) (Urdu pronunciation: [paːkɪˈst̪aːn] ( listen)), officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Urdu:اسلامی جمہوریۂ پاکِستان) is a parliamentary republic andsovereign state in South Asia. It has a 1,046-kilometre (650 mi) coastline along the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman in the south and is bordered by Afghanistan andIran in the west, India in the east and China in the far northeast.Tajikistan also lies very close to Pakistan but is separated by the narrow Wakhan Corridor. Strategically it is located in a position between the important regions of South Asia, Central Asia and theMiddle East.

The region forming modern Pakistan was the site of several ancient cultures including the neolithic Mehrgarhand the bronze era Indus Valley Civilisation. Subsequently it was the recipient of Vedic, Persian,Indo-Greek, Islamic, Turco-Mongol, and Sikh cultures through several invasions and/or settlements. As a result the area has remained a part of numerous empires and dynasties including the Persian empires,Islamic caliphates and the Mauryan, Mongol, Mughal,Sikh and British Empires. Pakistan gained independence from the British Empire in 1947 after astruggle for independence, led by Mohammad Ali Jinnah, that sought independent states for the Muslim majority populations of the eastern and western regions of British India. With the adoption of its constitution in 1956, Pakistan became an Islamic republic. In 1971, an armed conflict in East Pakistan resulted in the creation of Bangladesh.

Pakistan is a federal parliamentary republic consisting offour provinces and four federal territories. With over 170 million people, it is the sixth most populous country in the world and has the second largest Muslim population after Indonesia. It is an ethnically andlinguistically diverse country with a similar variation in itsgeography and wildlife. With a semi-industrializedeconomy, it is the 27th largest in the world in terms of purchasing power. Since gaining independence, Pakistan's history has been characterised by periods ofmilitary rule, political instability and conflicts with neighbouring India. The country faces challenging problems including terrorism, poverty, illiteracy andcorruption.

Pakistan has the seventh largest standing armed forceand is the only Muslim-majority nation to possess nuclear weapons. It is designated as a major non-NATO ally of the United States. It is a founding member of the Organization of the Islamic Conferenceand a member of the United Nations, Commonwealth of Nations, Next Eleven economies and the G20 developing nations.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Kannada:ರಾಯಲ್ ಚಾಲೆಂಜರ್ಸ್, ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು) is a cricket team based inBangalore that plays in the Indian Premier League. The team is owned by Vijay Mallya, through his flagship firm UB Group and coached by Ray Jennings.

Indian Premier League is a cricket tournament being organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and backed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).For the inaugural tournament held in Apr-Jun 2008, the BCCI had finalised a list of 8 teams who will be participating in the tournament. The teams representing 8 different cities of India, including Bangalore, were put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February 2008 and the Bangalore team was won by Vijay Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid for a team in the IPL, next only to Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries' bid of $111.9 million for the Mumbai team. Bollywood actresses Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, and Sandalwood film stars Ramya and Puneeth Rajkumar are the brand ambassadors of the team.

The team won 4 matches in this season, losing 10 matches and managed to secure only the last but one position in the points table. Only one of their batsman, Rahul Dravid managed to score more than 300 runs in the tournament and they had to even bench their costliest foreign player, Jacques Kallis, for a few of the matches due to his poor form. The string of failures mid-way through the season led to the sacking of the CEO, Charu Sharma who was replaced with Brijesh Patel. Even coachVenkatesh Prasad was about to be sacked, but he saved his job by publicly apologising for the team's failure. Vijay Mallya went on to publicly criticise Dravid and Sharma for the failures by saying that they had not selected the right team. He regretted that he had made a mistake by not getting involved in the selection of the team. They were the only team in the IPL to try out 11 opening combinations in 14 games. Eventually the chief cricketing officer, Martin Crowe resigned. It was decided that from 2009 IPL session onwards the team would be coached by former South Africa Coach Ray Jennings.

Challengers had a mixed round of success in the third edition of the IPL. The team slumped to a defeat in their first match against the Knight Riders but came back strongly to win the next four games which started off with the highest successful run chase in IPL 2010 and the second highest successful run chase in IPL history against Kings XI Punjab at Bangalore. This win was followed by comprehensive wins against the Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings.Kallis and Uthappa were in tremendous form with the bat while Kumble was miserly with the ball,Steyn fast and accurate and Vinay Kumar wily picking wickets at the right time. However the team lost the next two games and after a roller coaster ride managed to sneak into the semis for the second consecutive season by virtue of their healthy net run rate beating Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders both of whom had equal number of wins and losses as the Bangalore outfit. In the semifinal the Challengers put on a shoddy display after beginning well to concede 77 runs during the last 5 overs of the Mumbai innings and did not bat well to lose the match by 35 runs. The team had the final laugh after they beat the defending champions Deccan Chargers against whom they lost the previous year's final, by beating them all end's up by 9 wickets to finish third for the season and thereby book a slot in the 2010 Champions League Twenty20.

Vijay Mallya wanted to associate one of his top-selling liquor brands, either No. 1 McDowell's or Royal Challenge with the team. The latter was chosen, hence the name. The jersey colours of the team are red and golden yellow, the same as the Karnataka state flag, and the logo consists of the RC emblem with "Royal Challengers Bangalore" in standard format.

The players in the team (except for Rahul Dravid, who was the Icon Player), were selected in an auction conducted by BCCI on 20 February 2008. South Africa's Jacques Kallis at $900,000 became the costliest player to be selected to play for the Royal Challengers. This meant that Rahul Dravid, being the Icon Player would be paid $1,035,000 (15% more than the highest bid player in the team). Other players selected included the then Indian Test cricket captain Anil Kumble along with his team-mates Praveen Kumar and Zaheer Khan, West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Aussies Nathan Bracken and Cameron White, South Africa's Mark Boucher (Wicket Keeper) and Dale Steyn. The team also included Pakistan cricket team's vice captain Misbah-ul-Haq although he wasn't in the playing 11 for most part of the tournament.

Vijay Mallya, the owner of Bangalore Royal Challengers, has kept the captaincy options open. Minutes after picking up Kevin Pietersen at USD 1.55 million, Mallya said he was happy with the price he got him at. "The captaincy options are open. The team management will take a decision on it." The Royal Challengers, who finished second last the previous year, were led by Rahul Dravid.

On 21 March 2009 Vijay Mallya announced that Kevin Pietersen was replacing Rahul Dravid as the team captain for the 2009 season. The reason given was Dravid's absence in the league due to family related reasons.However many suspect that the change in captaincy is the result of the poor performance of the team in the first season of the Indian Premier League. On the 30th April 2009, Anil Kumble was named the captain of the team for the remaining games of the IPL Season 2, due to Kevin Pietersen's absence to play for England against the West Indies. Since then performance of Bangalore Royal Challengers has been instrumental and the turn around has been superb. The challengers found great success under Kumble's leadership.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Bengali: কলকাতা নাইট রাইডার্স; often abbreviated as KKR) is the franchise representing Kolkata in the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20cricket tournament. Till IPL3, the team was led by Sourav Ganguly and coached by Dav Whatmore. Sourav Ganguly was the team's Icon Player for the first three seasons. The official theme of the team is Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re (Bengali for We will do it, Fight for it, Win it) and the official colors are purple and gold. As per the recent study done by a UK based brand valuation company, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are ranked as the second most valuable franchise brand at US$46 million.Celebrity co-owner Shahrukh Khan’s hard-selling of the KKR brand has counteracted the team’s poor on-field performance.They are the only team to have never made the semi-finals.Kolkata Knight Riders is one the 10 franchise teams taking part in the Indian Premier League. It was bought by Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with Juhi Chawla Mehta and her husband Jay Mehta.The Kolkata Knight Riders had a good beginning to the season by winning their first two matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers. Kolkata Knight Riders' opening batsman Brendon McCullum scored 158 runs in the first match, which is a record for the highest runs ever scored by a batsman in a Twenty-20 match. However, the team started experiencing failures and lost consecutive four matches. The team managed to stage a comeback of sorts by winning next three matches based on strong performances by Sourav Ganguly and Shoaib Akhtar. But their performance dipped again and lost next three matches, which included their match against Mumbai Indians, in which they were bowled out for 67 runs, the lowest score by a team in IPL 2008 season. When their match against Delhi Daredevils was washed out due to rain, they lost any chance of making it to the semifinals.The Knight Riders ended their season on a winning note by defeating Kings XI Punjab on their home ground.

There were reports of a rift between Shahrukh Khan and Sourav Ganguly over various issues such as team composition, Ganguly's choice of batting first in the game against Chennai Super Kings, entertainment tax being imposed for matches played at Eden Gardens (Shahrukh reportedly wanted Ganguly to speak to the West Bengal Chief Minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya about it, which was refused by Ganguly). It was also reported that Shahrukh Khan bestowed more powers to John Buchanan including giving him full powers to select the team for the following year which was not liked by Ganguly.^[6] However, the team management issued a statement that the reports of a possible rift are untrue.

Shahrukh Khan was further barred by the International Cricket Council Anti-Corruption Unit from entering the dressing room of the team when matches were in progress. Shahrukh Khan then issued a statement that he would be boycotting the remaining matches of the IPL till the code of conduct was clarified by the IPL authorities.

There were also speculations that Kolkata Knight Riders will shift its base from Kolkata to Ahmedabad because of the money demanded by the C.A.B. But after a meeting with Jagmohan Dalmiya, Shah Rukh Khan assured everyone that his team will stay in Kolkata.

Rajasthan Royals (Rajasthani: राजस्थान रॉयल्स) is a franchise cricket team based in Jaipur, India that plays in the IPL. The team is captained by Shane Warne for all the seasons. The team's mascot is a Lion named Moochu Singh ^[2]. The team anthem, 'Halla Bol' is sung by Ila Arun^[2]. They became the champions of the inaugural IPL tournament in 2008. The IPL had terminated the agreement with Rajasthan Royals on 10th October 2010 along with Kings XI Punjab for violations in agreement and breach of contract on the part of the franchise. This decision was challenged by the respective teams and BCCI lost court cases against the Royals and decided to stop legal action and allowed them to participate in IPL. 2011 along with Kings XI Punjab^[3]

The Rajasthan Royals franchise is owned and chaired by Manoj Badale. Other investors include Lachlan Murdoch, Aditya S Chellaram and Suresh Chellaram. The Group acquired the franchise for $67 million. Incidentally, this was the least expensive franchise in the Indian Premier League and probably the least fancied team in the league at the beginning of the tournament. Bollywood actress and Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty and her business partner (now husband) Raj Kundra paid approximately US $15.4 million for a 11.7% stake before the start of IPL 2 in early 2009, therefore valuing the team at $130 million.^[4]

It made a pre-tax profit of $7.5 million in 2009. [1]

Prior to the start of the inaugural IPL season, many considered the Royals as possibly the weakest team in the IPL, giving them little chance of competing well in the tournament.^[5] Evidence of the latter opinion seemed to be confirmed when the team lost its first match against the Delhi Daredevils in a 9 wicket loss.^[6] However the Royals won their next game by defeating the Kings XI Punjab and continued to win the next five games in a row. The Royals built up an impressive 11-3 record after their fourteen premilinary round matches; this included a consecutive 5-game and 6-game winning streak with an undefeated record on their home ground and a spot at the top of the points table. They were also the first team to book a place in the semifinals with their 65 run win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Shane Warne's captaincy and simultaneous coaching was praised and well received by everyone,^[7]^[8] including opposition teams.^[9] In addition, many players of the Royals team had consistently played well. The Royals secured a place in the finals with a victory against the Delhi Daredevils.

The Rajasthan Royals became the winner of the first IPL tournament, when they defeated the Chennai Super Kings by 3 wickets in the final played on 1 June 2008. With the scores level with one ball remaining, Sohail Tanvir scored the winning run and therefore prevented the match from being decided on a bowl out.^[10]

Each player and representative on the team was awarded a medal and the team was presented with the DLF Indian Premier League trophy along with a cheque for US$ 1.2 million prize money. Many of the Royals' players also took home individual awards for their performance during the tournament; Yusuf Pathan claimed the Man of the Match award for the final match, Sohail Tanvir finished the tournament in possession of the Purple Cap (the IPL's leading wicket taker) and Australian all-rounder Shane Watson was declared the Man of the Series.The Royals did not have a good start during the 2009 season. In their opening game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who were second last in 2008, the Royals obtained the lowest score in the tournaments history. Rajasthan started to gain momentum slowly with Yusuf Pathan's explosive performances in victories against Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils giving hope to the Royals and their fans. However, inconsistency became a major factor; much was expected of South African captain Graeme Smith who was playing in front of his home crowd and who in last season's scored 441 runs, he together with Swapnil Asnodkar were not able to string together strong consistent performances. The absence of previous year's stars Sohail Tanvir and Shane Watson was also a major factor. Tanvir was not eligible in this season due to the political strain between India and Pakistan, and Watson was called up to play for Australia in the series against Pakistan in the UAE. Many also considered the sending of Mohammad Kaif back to India a poor decision as his batting could have contributed to the team's batting performance. The Royals failed to make it to the semifinals after losing their last two matches against Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Delhi Daredevils^[1] (Hindi: दिल्ली डेयरडेविल्स) is the Delhi franchise for the Indian Premier League. The franchise is owned by the GMR Group.

The Daredevils dominated for much of the 2009 IPL, finishing at the top of the table after the league stages despite a mid-tournament injury to icon and captain Virender Sehwag and the relatively poor form of Gautam Gambhir. A.B. de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan both had developed greatly since the last season and set up many large totals for the Daredevils, with deVilliers hitting one of only two centuries in the 2009 IPL. The bowling, which in 2008 was composed mainly of overseas players (Maharoof, Vettori, McGrath, Asif) was bolstered by a trade to gain former Team India paceman Ashish Nehra in exchange for Shikhar Dhawan. Pradeep Sangwan and Amit Mishra had both improved since last season, and the offseason signing of Dirk Nannes from Australia created a bowling lineup that was strong. In fact, the Daredevils left Vettori, Collingwood and McGrath on the bench for most of the tournament, preferring to go with the overseas combination of Nannes, de Villers, Dilshan and David Warner.

However, despite dominating for the regular season, the Daredevils crumbled in the semi-final under a fierce batting assault by Adam Gilchrist, who hit the fastest fifty in IPL history (just 17 balls). Nannes in particular, who was again picked over McGrath, was punished by Gilchrist and later Andrew Symonds. The disappointing semifinal meant Delhi did not contest the final of the 2009 IPL despite having the best record in the league stages. However, Delhi managed to qualify for champions league twenty20 because of their performance in group stage.

On 22 May 2009, the Daredevils entered a partnership with Eastern Titans of the South African domestic cricket competition to help develop young talent on both teams.^[2]

Iconic Australian pace bowler Glenn McGrath has expressed disappointment that he was not picked to play any match during the whole season, and has placed a question mark over his participation in the IPL 2010 with the Daredevils.^[3]

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was the brand ambassador of the team during the 2008 Season but opted not to return for the 2009 season due to a busy schedule. However, Akshay was seen at a few of the team's games cheering them on.

Famous Bollywood playback singer Kailash Kher has sung the team anthem - "Khel Front Foot Pe" a.k.a. " Play on the front foot or play aggressively". It is played at every Delhi Daredevils match.

Virender Sehwag has been accorded the icon player status in the Delhi team and was also the captain of the side during the first two season. However, he resigned and passed on the leadership to his opening partner Gautam Gambhir. The team also boasts international players such as AB de Villiers, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Paul Collingwood, David Warner and Andrew McDonald. The bowling attack includes international players Glenn McGrath (2008–09), Daniel Vettori, Farveez Maharoof and Dirk Nannes.

The team also includes the Indian players like Dinesh Karthik, Amit Mishra and Vijaykumar Yomahesh.

Following the Partition of India in 1947 and the establishment of the separate province of Pakistan, cricket in the country developed steadily and Pakistan was given Test match status at a meeting of the Imperial Cricket Conference at Lord's Cricket Ground in England on 28 July 1952 following recommendation by India,^[5] which, being the successor state of the British Raj, did not have to go through such a process. The first captain of the Pakistan national cricket team was Abdul Kardar.

Pakistan’s first Test match was played in Delhi in October 1952 as part of a five Test series which India won 2-1. Pakistan made their first tour of England in 1954 and drew the series 1-1 after a memorable victory at The Oval in which fast bowler Fazal Mahmood took 12 wickets. Pakistan’s first home Test match was in Dacca in January 1955 against India, after which four more Test matches were played in Bahawalpur, Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi (all five matches in the series were drawn, the first such occurrence in test history^[6]).The team is considered a strong but unpredictable team. Traditionally Pakistani cricket has been filled with players of great talent but limited discipline, making them a team which could play inspirational cricket one day and then perform less than ordinarily another day. Over the years, competitions between India and Pakistan have always been emotionally charged and provide for intriguing contests, as talented teams and players from both sides of the border elevate their game to new levels to produce high-quality cricket. Pakistani contest with India in the Cricket World Cup have seen packed stadiums and elevated atmospheres no matter where the World Cup has been held.The 1986 Australasia Cup, played in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, is remembered as a famous last-ball victory for Pakistan against arch-rivals India, with Javed Miandad emerging as a national hero.^[7] India batted first and set a target of 245 runs, leaving Pakistan with a required run rate of 4.92 runs per over. Javed Miandad came in to bat at number 3 and Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals. Later recalling the match, Miandad stated that his main focus was to lose with dignity. With 31 runs needed in the last three overs, Miandad hit a string of boundaries while batting with his team's lower order, until four runs were required from the last delivery of the match. Miandad received a leg sidefull toss from Chetan Sharma, which he hit for six over the midwicket boundary.^[7]^[8]

At the 1992 World Cup Semi Final, having won the toss, New Zealand chose to bat first and ended with a total of 262 runs. Pakistan batted conservatively yet lost wickets at regular intervals. With the departure of Imran Khan and Saleem Malik shortly thereafter, Pakistan still required 115 runs at a rate of 7.67 runs per over with veteran Javed Miandad being the only known batsman remaining at the crease. A young Inzamam-ul-Haq, who had just turned 22 and was not a well-known player at the time, burst onto the international stage with a match-winning 60 off 37 balls. Once Inzamam got out, Pakistan required 36 runs from 30 balls, which wicketkeeper Moin Khan ended with a towering six over long off, followed by the winning boundary to midwicket. The match is seen as the emergence of Inzamam onto the international stage.^[9]^[10]^[11]

The 1992 Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand marked Pakistan's first World Cup victory. It is remembered for the comeback Pakistan made after losing key players such as Waqar Younis and Saeed Anwar and being led by an injured captain in Imran Khan. Pakistan lost 4 of their first 5 matches and were nearly eliminated in the first round of the tournament after being bowled out for 74 runs against England, until the match was declared as a "no result" due to rain. Imran Khan famously told the team to play as "cornered tigers", after which Pakistan won five successive matches, including, most famously, the semi-final against hosts New Zealand and the final against England.^[12]

Pakistan vs West Indies Highlights 2011

The 2007 Cricket World Cup was one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history when Pakistan was knocked out of the competition in a shock defeat to Ireland, who were playing in their first competition. Pakistan, needing to win to qualify for the next stage after losing to the West Indies in their opening match, were put into bat by Ireland. They lost wickets regularly and only 4 batsmen scored double figures. In the end they were bowled out by the Irish for 132 runs. The Irish went on to win the match, after Niall O'Brien scored 72 runs. This meant that Pakistan had been knocked out during the first round for the second consecutive World Cup.^[13]^[14]^[15] Tragedy struck the team when coach Bob Woolmer died one day later on 18 March 2007 in a hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. Jamaican police spokesman, Karl Angell, reported on 23 March 2007 that, "Mr Woolmer's death was due to asphyxiation as a result of manual strangulation" and that, "Mr Woolmer's death is now being treated by the Jamaica police as a case of murder."^[16] Assistant coach Mushtaq Ahmed acted as temporary coach for the team's final group game of the tournament.^[17] Subsequent to his team's defeat and the death of Woolmer, Inzamam-ul-Haq announced his resignation as captain of the team and his retirement from one-day cricket, stating that he would continue to take part in Test cricket but not as captain.^[18] Shoaib Malik was announced as his successor.^[19] Following his return to the squad, Salman Butt was appointed as vice-captain until December 2007.^[20]

On 23 March 2007, Pakistan players and officials were questioned by Jamaican police and submitted DNA samples along with fingerprints, as part of the routine enquiries in the investigation into Woolmer's murder.^[21] Three days after leaving the West Indies for Pakistan, via London, the Pakistan team were ruled out as suspects. The deputy commissioner of Jamaican police. Mark Shields, the detective in charge of the investigation, announced, "It's fair to say they are now being treated as witnesses." "I have got no evidence to suggest it was anybody in the squad."^[22] A memorial service was held in Sacred Heart Church, Lahore, for Bob Woolmer on 1 April 2007. Among the attendees were Pakistan players and dignitaries, including Inzamam-ul-Haq, who was quoted as saying, "After Woolmer's family, the Pakistan team was the most aggrieved by his death."^[23] After the World Cup ended, serious doubts were raised about the investigation, with increasing speculation that Woolmer died of natural causes. This has now been accepted as fact, and the case has been closed.^[24] Pakistan Qualified for Final Of T20 2009 beating SouthAfrica by 7 runs in 1st semifinal.

The West Indian cricket team, also known colloquially as the West Indies or the Windies, is a multi-national cricket team representing a sporting confederation of 15 mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies and non-British dependencies.

From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Test and One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies; Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs, Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhai and Everton Weekes have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame,^[1] while world-record holders Brian Lara and Sir Viv Richards were both West Indies Test players.^[2]^[3] As of 19 June 2009, the West Indian team has played 457 Test matches, winning 33.26%, losing 32.38% and drawing 34.13% of its games.^[4]

The West Indies have won the ICC Cricket World Cup twice in 1975 and 1979, the ICC Champions Trophy once in 2004 and have been runners up in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2004 and have been semi finalist in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009. First cricket team to win World Cup twice, surpassed by 4 World Cup wins by Australia, and equaled by India in 2011. West Indies are also the first team to win back to back World Cups, since surpassed by 3 consecutive World Cup wins by Australia. West Indies is the first team to appear in 3 consecutive World Cup finals (1975, 1979 and 1983), since surpassed by 4 consecutive World Cup appearances by Australia (1996, 1999, 2003 & 2007).

The history of the West Indies cricket team began in the 1890s, when the first representative sides were selected to play visiting English sides. The WICB joined the sport's international ruling body, the Imperial Cricket Conference, in 1926,^[5] and played their first official international match, granted Test status, in 1928^[6] thus becoming the fourth Test nation.

Although blessed with some great players in their early days as a Test nation, and beating England for the first time at Lord's on 29 June 1950, their successes remained sporadic until the 1960s when the side changed from a white-dominated to a black-dominated side. By the 1970s, the West Indies had a side recognised as unofficial world champions, a reputation they retained throughout the 1980s.^[7] During these glory years, the Windies were noted for their four-man fast bowling attack, backed up by some of the best batsmen in the world.

The 1980s saw them set a then-record streak of 11 consecutive Test victories in 1984 and inflict two 5–0 "blackwashes" against the old enemy of England. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, however, West Indian cricket declined, largely due to the failure of the West Indian Cricket Board to move the game from an amateur pastime to a professional sport coupled with the general economic decline in West Indian countries, and the team today is struggling to regain its past glory. The West Indies are currently ranked 8th out of the 10 Test playing nations, and 9th in the One Day International rankings, which likewise only cover the 10 Test playing nations.^[8]

In their early days in the 1930s, the side represented the British colonies of the West Indies Federation plus British Guiana. The current side represents:

Kings XI Punjab vs Deccan Chargers Highlights IPL 2011,KXIP vs DC Match 12,Hyderabad vs Punjab IPL Cricket Highlights,DC vs KXIP Match 14 Highlights IPL 2011 Hyderabad 16 April, Watch KXIP vs DC IPL Cricket Highlights

Kings XI Punjab is a cricketfranchise based in Mohali, Punjab in the Indian Premier League. For the IPL3, an additional venue has been chosen at Dharamsala.The first owners of the franchise included Preity Zinta, Karan Paul (Apeejay Surendera Group) and Mohit Burman (Dabur). The group paid a total of $76 million to acquire the franchise. On 10th October 2010 the franchise agreement of Kings eleven was terminated by the IPL committee along with Rajasthan Royals due to their disputes.The 2008 season started on a disastrous note for the Kings XI team as it lost its opening two matches, but then it recovered lost ground and went on to play the semi finals against Chennai Super Kings which they lost and ended up in 3rd position

The tournament got off to a slow start for the Kings XI, with the team losing their first two games. However, despite losing Australians Brett Lee and Simon Katich (who were committed to tour theWest Indies with Australia), the team found its groove. Powered by their balanced bowling lineup and effective top order, the team won 9 of its next 10 matches, clinching a birth in the semi-final. In the semi-final, their run in the tournament came to an end with a comprehensive 9 wicket loss to theChennai Super Kings.

Many credit the team for unearthing arguably the biggest find of the tournament in Shaun Marsh.The opener from Western Australia was looked over in both IPL player auctions and was signed by the franchise on 9 April.He finished the tournament the highest run scorer with an average of 68.44 and a strike rate of 139.68 in 11 innings. His innings included 1 century and 5 half-centuries.^{On top of their strong results, the franchise found itself in the headlines for issues off the field as well. It was alleged that cheerleaders Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson—both of whom are of Africanlineage—were denied access to the PCA Stadium due to the colour of their skin. Wizcraft International Entertainment, the event management firm hired by the team, denied the allegation and began proceedings on a defamation lawsuit against the organization who represented the two individuals.The Punjab Police sought compensation in exchange for providing security during IPL matches at the PCA Stadium. The issue was that neither the Punjab Cricket Association, nor the franchise owners were willing to pay the amount being demanded.The dispute reached a boiling point on 23 May during the Kings XI match against the Deccan Chargers, where it was alleged that team co-ownerNess Wadia was engaged in a verbal dispute with Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police, RS Khatra. Wadia eventually filed an official complaint against Khatra, contending that he was accused of stealing alcohol and team merchandise, as well as granting entrance to unauthorized personnel in the stadium. Following this event, the Punjab Police threatened to provide no security for the Kings XI's final home match, unless they were paid the sum they demanded.}

Deccan Chargers (Telugu: డెక్కన్ చార్జర్స్) known in short as DC or 'Chargers' is a franchise that represents the city of Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.^[1] They won the Second season held inSouth Africa in 2009. The team is led by Kumar Sangakkara and coached by Darren Lehmann, former Australian Test and One-Day Cricketer.

They finished last in the inaugural season of the IPL, and as the champions in the next season.

The Deccan Chargers franchise is owned by the Deccan Chronicle corporation. The media group acquired the franchise for an amount of USD 107 million on 24 January 2008. Later, another media group, Group M India picked up a 20% stake in the franchise.^[2]

The team's name reflects the association with the Deccan Chronicle newspaper, which in turn derives its name from the Deccan plateau that makes up the majority of the southern portion of the Indian peninsula.

The Chargers logo is a charging bull.^[3] From the 2009 season, the team changed the colour of the jersey (from beige and black to sparkling silver and blue) and the logo (from gold and red to white and blue).

There is no Icon Player for the team as the former captain V.V.S. Laxman rejected the offer to be an icon player in order to free funds and enable the franchise to buy & encourage younger players.

There were reports suggesting a buyout of the franchise by Gujarat based Adani Group for a sum of $300 million, almost three times the value the team was purchased for initially.

The leading run-scorer of the side is Suresh Raina^[1]while the leading wicket-taker is Muttiah Muralitharan.^[2]

The Chennai SuperKings are a part of the Indian Premier League, made up of 10 teams. The franchise is currently owned by India Cements, who paid US $91 million to acquire the rights to the franchise for 10 years in 2008.N. Srinivasan, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of India Cements Ltd., is the de facto owner of the Chennai Super Kings, by means of his position within the company. He is also the Secretary of the BCCI.

Krishnamachari Srikkanth, former captain of the Indian Cricket Team and the current chairman of the National Selection Committee , is the brand ambassador for the franchise at present, and formerIndian opener V.

Nayantara was later removed because she could not attend matches. Vijay served as the brand Ambassador till the end of the 2009 season and has been removed after that.

During the first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season, conducted in January 2008, the Chennai team was able to buy a number of contemporary star cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Muttiah Muralitharan.

The Super Kings had a solid start to the tournament by winning their first game against Kings XI Punjabscoring 240/5 which was the highest total of the tournament, a record surpassed by themselves in 2010. The Super Kings also won their next three games against Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Ridersand Royal Challengers Bangalore. But their winning run in the tournament took a hit when their overseas stars Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Jacob Oram had to leave for national duties. Their departure immediately affected their performance as the Super Kings who had won their first four games lost their next three games. The batting, although inconsistent, eventually adjusted to the losses of Hayden and Hussey with contributions from Mahendra Singh Dhoni(C), Suresh Raina andAlbie Morkel. The Super Kings despite having a roller-coaster ride in the second half managed to ensure a semi-final slot by beating the Deccan Chargers in their last league fixture.

The side had finished third at the league table with 16 points. The Chennai Super Kings played their first semi-final against the Kings XI Punjab whom they managed to defeat by 9 wickets, thus entering the final,which they lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets off the last ball.

The Super Kings brought English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million making him the highest-paid IPL cricketer along with Kevin Pietersen of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Apart from Flintoff the Chennai Super Kings also brought Thilan Thushara, George Bailey, Murali Vijay and Shadab Jakati.

The Chennai Super Kings were defeated in their first game of the tournament by the Mumbai Indians.^[9]But they immediately bounced back by beating the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next game. The Super Kings however lost against the Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers with an abandoned game in between. But the Chennai Super Kings went on to win their next 5 consecutive games to get 13 points from 10 games. The Super Kings despite losing to Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders assured themselves a semi-final berth by beating the Mumbai Indians and the Kings XI Punjab.^[10]

The Super Kings finished with 17 points and earned a second place at the league table. However at the semi-finals the Super Kings' hope of entering the final for a second time was crushed by the resurgent Royal Challengers who proceeded to play the final against the Deccan Chargers.

Mumbai Indians vs Kochi Tuskers Kerala Highlights IPL 2011, KTK vs MI Match 13,Kochi vs Mumbai IPL Cricket Highlights,MI vs KTK Match 13 Highlights IPL 2011 Mumbai 15 April, Watch MI vs KTK IPL Cricket Highlights..

Mumbai Indians (Marathi: मुंबई इंडियन्स),is a franchise cricket team representing Mumbai in the Indian Premier League. The team is one of the ten founding members of the IPL in 2008. Mumbai Indians are currently led by Sachin Tendulkar, who is the Icon Player for the team and is coached by Robin Singh. The team is owned by India's biggest conglomerate,Reliance Industries, through its 100% subsidiary IndiaWin Sports.Reliance Industries Limited purchased the rights for the Mumbai franchise of Indian Premier league for a total of 441 Cr ($ 112.9 m) during the auction on 24 January 2008. In what has been described by some as "the ultimate heights of laziness in name selection" and "like they chose the name by throwing darts on a wall" the franchise was eventually named the Mumbai Indians. While this is arguably a "tour de force" in ineptitude, the name does acknowledge that people from Mumbai are largely Indian, which in the club's defence, is somewhat true. The RIL bid made the Mumbai Indians the most expensive franchise in the 2007 IPL auction. However the 2011 auction saw the Sahara Pune Warriors bought by Subroto Roy taking that title. The Mumbai Indians' first team was unveiled on the 17th of April, 2008 in Mumbai.

The season got off to a nightmarish start for the Indians, having lost their captain Sachin Tendulkar to a hamstring injury. With Harbhajan Singh taking over as captain, the team proceeded to lose their first 4 matches of the tournament. After Singh’s suspension for hitting Sreesanth, Shaun Pollock assumed the leadership duties until Tendulkar’s return on 14 May. It was during this time that the team turned their fortunes around, putting together a 6 game winning streak and an opportunity to make the semi-finals. They were unable to take advantage of this opportunity as they lost 3 of their next 4 games, with the 3 losses occurring in very close affairs. All these three games were lost in the last ball of the match.The match between MI and Kings XI Punjab played on 21 May was considered to be the best of the season with Yuvraj Singh diving full length to run out the MI batsman in the last delivery of the match.The Indians finished with a record of 7 wins and 7 losses. Sanath Jayasuriya played a vital role in securing two important wins for the team.

Mumbai Indians were the most watched team on television in the first edition of the IPL tournament, totaling to 239 million viewers.This is no doubt a credit to the little master Sachin Tendulkar who has a great fan following throughout the world.After posting a revenue of 69 crore and expenditure of 85 crore, the first season left the owners with net loss of INR 16 crore and were expected to break even in the 2009 season.

During the IPL's first auction for the year 2010, Mumbai Indians bought Westindian All rounder Kieron Pollard for $ 750,000, after a silent tie-breaker with Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangaloreand the Kolkata Knight Riders.The team had a strong start after defending a total of 212 against theRajasthan Royals in their first match and went on to beat Delhi Daredevils defending another 218.The team was supported by match-winning knocks from Tiwary,Rayudu and Tendulkar.However the Mumbai Indians crumbled to the Royal Challengers Bangalore for their first loss in 3 games.In their next game, Mumbai Indians restricted the Kolkata Knight Riders to a meagre 155.The Mumbai Indians chased this total with ease, as Sachin Tendulkar scored a blazing knock of 71 from 48 balls. It also won in the same fashion against Chennai Super Kings by Sachin Tendulkar, again playing a match-winning knock of 72 from 52 balls.They continued their winning streak by winning against the previous year's champions, Deccan Chargers, due to an amazing knock of 49 from just 18 balls and a spell of 3-31, by Harbhajan Singh. They also beat Kings XI Punjab by 4 wickets, courtesy of Shikhar Dhawan,Saurabh Tiwary & Rajagopal Sathish. They also defeated the Deccan Chargers by 63 runs and won their 7th game out of the 9 games played . On 11/04/2010, Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals to become the first team in IPL 2010 to qualify for semi-finals. In their 12th game they defeated Delhi Daredevils and remained the table toppers with 18 points and a run rate of +1.12. In the 13th game Mumbai Indians Defeated Royal Challengers in their Home Ground in a match that was delayed due to a small intensity blast in the stadium premises. In the final league game Mumbai Indians rested their key players. Dwayne Bravo lead the game in absence of Sachin Tendulkar and they lost the game to Kolkata Knight riders by nine wickets. With 20 points they were at the top of the points table and played their first IPL semi-final with Royal Challengers Bangalore. They crushed their opponents in the semi finals despite losing Sachin Tendulkar for a single digit score, which happens to be his first single digit score this year in all forms of the game. They lost their first IPL final to Chennai Super Kings. They also qualified for Champions League Twenty20 2010 along with Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Sachin Tendulkar had an excellent IPL 2010, amassing 618 runs with a strike rate of 132.61. He won the orange cap for the tournament, which is awarded to the highest run scorer. He played an important role in bringing out young talent to the forefront in players like Saurabh Tiwary, Ambati Rayudu and Aditya Tare. Sachin Tendulkar also won the best batsman and the best captain awards in the IPL Awards 2010.

The team logo has the Sudarshana Chakra with the team's name engraved in it.

The team colours was almost the same in 2008 and 2009, except for the colour shade and additional sponsors. In 2010 a new kit with golden stripes was unveiled.And in 2011 same kit used in 2010 is being used

During the player auction in 2008, the Mumbai Indians successfully bid for 7 players, including two members of the Indian Twenty-20 World cup winning side in Harbhajan Singh Sanath Jayasuriya, Lasith Malinga, Luke Ronchi,Dilhara Fernando and Shaun Pollock were other cricketers who were successfully bid for by the franchise.

Outside of the player auction, the franchise also signed upAjinkya Rahane and Abhishek Nayar (from Mumbai), Yogesh Takawale (WK-Batsman from Maharashtra) and Pinal Shah (WK-Batsman from Baroda). Saurabh Tiwary and Manish Pandey, the members of the U-19 world-cup winning team were the random picks drafted in during the BCCI held second auction. Dominic Thornely was also signed by the Mumbai Indians for a sum of $2905000.Andre Nel the South African fast bowler was signed on in the place of Dwayne Bravo who left the tournament early.

In the 2009 player auction,the Mumbai Indians signed up South African player, JP Duminy for $950,000.He was the third most expensive pick after Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff (both signed up for $1.55m by Bangalore Royal Challengers and Chennai Super Kings respectively). In addition they also bought New Zealander, Kyle Mills.

In the IPL 2010 Mumbai Indians bought West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard For $750,000 as he impressed everyone with his performances at Big Bash and Champions League.In the 2008-2009 transfer window, Mumbai Indians conducted two straight swap deals, with no money exchanged. Ashish Nehra was swapped with Shikhar Dhawan of Delhi Daredevils and on the last day of the transfer window, Robin Uthappa was swapped with Zaheer Khan of Royal Challengers Bangalore, who plays for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. In a three-way trade, Jaydev Shah of the Rajasthan Royals - captain of the Saurashtra Ranji squad that made it to the semi-finals and son of former cricket board secretary Niranjan Shah - will move to the Mumbai Indians.

Kochi Tuskers Kerala (Malayalam:കൊച്ചി ടസ്കേഴ്സ് കേരള) is a franchise cricket team that plays the Indian Premier League representing the city ofKochi. The team was one of two new franchisees added to the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the 2011 season, alongside the Pune Warriors India. The team franchise is owned by Kochi Cricket Pvt Ltd., which is a consortium of multiple companies.Their first match in IPL 2011 was against Bangalore Royal Challengers.

The auction for expanding the initial eight franchises for the IPL was held on March 22, 2010. The cities involved in the auction were Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kanpur, Dharamsala, Visakhapatnam,Rajkot, Cuttack, Vadodara, Kochi, Indore and Gwalior. Two new teams were selected out of 12 teams, which bid for 2011 IPL matches. Sahara Group made the highest bid in the auction and chose to base its team in Pune, at the cost of 1,702 crore. Rendezvous Sports World made the second highest bid of 1533.32 crores, and elected to base its team in Kochi. The two new franchises were sold for a combined sum of money, which was greater than the combined purchase price of all the original eight IPL franchises.

With the Kochi team and Pune team joining the list of IPL franchises, all four southern states in India have an IPL franchise, while Maharashtra has two IPL franchises.

The franchise has been at the centre of many controversies since its inception. BCCI had given the franchise ultimatum to dissolve factionalism and infighting or face scrapping. After a series of lengthy meetings the company sent a letter to the BCCI requesting more time stating that the negotiations were in an advanced stage and they needed some more time to be sorted.

The BCCI announced that on 27 October it would decide the fate of the Kochi team and the BCCI insisted that the two cases of the Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royalswhich were expelled are different. The IPL Governing council decided to give them a 30-day termination notice which meant that the franchise would have to reply to the notice within 30 days and if the IPL accepted their agreement then the franchise would no longer face the prospect of being terminated The Kochi promoters submitted a letter to the BCCI officials with regard to the revised structure of agreement hammered out between them. The BCCI governing council meeting was held on 28 Nov 2010 at Nagpur to decide the fate of Kochi franchisee. BCCI president Shashank Manohar said the board needed more time to discuss the issue and to take legal opinion and that the final decision on Kochi Tuskers Kerala will be taken on the BCCI governing council meeting at Mumbai on 5 December 2010. After much speculation it was finally announced by the BCCI that it was satisfied with the agreements signed by the franchise owners and the team would participate in the 2011 IPL Season.

conducted in January 2008, the Chennai team was able to buy a number of contemporary star cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni,

Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Muttiah Muralitharan.

The Super Kings had a solid start to the tournament by winning their

first game against Kings XI Punjabscoring 240/5 which was the highest total of the tournament,

a record surpassed by themselves in 2010.

The Super Kings also won their next three games against Mumbai Indians,

Kolkata Knight Ridersand Royal Challengers Bangalore.

But their winning run in the tournament took a hit when their overseas stars Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Jacob Oram had to leave for national duties.

Their departure immediately affected their performance as the Super Kings who had won their first four games lost their next three games.

The batting, although inconsistent, eventually adjusted to the losses of Hayden and Hussey with contributions from Mahendra Singh Dhoni,

Suresh Raina and Albie Morkel. The Super Kings despite having a roller-coaster ride in the second half managed to ensure a semi-final slot by beating the Deccan Chargers in their last league fixture.

The side had finished third at the league table with 16 points

. The Chennai Super Kings played their first semi-final against

the Kings XI Punjab whom they managed to defeat by 9 wickets, thus entering the final

, which they lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets off the last ball.

The 2011 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 4 or the 2011 IPL, will be the fourth season of the Indian Premier League,
established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007.
The tournament will be hosted by India and the opening ceremony will be held inChepauk Stadium, Chennai,

IPL 2011 Schedule Indian Premier League 2011 Schedule and live matches,IPL 2011 Schedule Indian Premier League 2011 Schedule live stream,IPL 2011 Schedule Indian Premier League 2011 Schedule online
the home venue for 2010 Champions Chennai Super Kings.
The season will run from April 8 to May 28 2011.

The season saw the addition of new teams: Pune Warriors and Kochi Tuskers Kerala.

With the introduction of 2 new teams,
a new ten-team format was created.
This new format consists of 74 matches and was introduced as retaining the previous format would result in 94 matches,
significantly greater than the 60 matches from the previous season,
where teams compete in a doubleround-robin tournament.
The knockout stage was changed to a playoff format.
If a match ends in a tie, a Super Over will be played to determine the winner.
The ten teams are divided into two groups of five.
In the group stage, each team plays 14 games: facing the other four teams in their group two times each (one home and one away game),
four teams in the other group once, and the remaining team two times. A random draw was used to determine the groups
and who plays whom across the groups once and twice.
Each team plays the team in the same row and the same column twice,
IPL 2011 Schedule Indian Premier League 2011 Schedule and live matches,IPL 2011 Schedule Indian Premier League 2011 Schedule live stream,IPL 2011 Schedule Indian Premier League 2011 Schedule online
and all others once. For instance,
Pune Warriors will play Chennai Super Kings and the other Group A teams twice but the other teams from Group B (Kolkata Knight Riders,
Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals) only once. Similarly
Kochi Tuskers Kerala will play Delhi Daredevils and the other Group B teams twice but all other teams from Group A only once.

Group A	Group B
Deccan Chargers	Kolkata Knight Riders
Delhi Daredevils	Kochi Tuskers Kerala
Kings XI Punjab	Royal Challengers Bangalore
Mumbai Indians	Rajasthan Royals
Pune Warriors India	Chennai Super Kings

Points are awarded in the group stage as follows:

Result	Points
Win	2 points
No result	1 point
Loss	0 points

A four-game playoff stage is held after the group stage.^[1]

Four games will be played in the playoffs:^[1]

Game A, between the teams ranked first and second in the group stage.
Game B, between the teams ranked third and fourth in the group stage.
Game C, between the loser of Game A and winner of Game B.
Final, between the winners of Games A and C.

The top three teams from the tournament qualify for the 2011 Champions League Twenty20.
Due to the new playoff format,
the qualifying teams will be the top two teams of the group stage and the winner of Game B in the playoff stage.

Each team can have a squad of at most 30 players
with a maximum of US$9 million to spend on purchasing players.
Due to the addition of two new teams,
all eight existing teams are disbanded.
Each of teams may retain up to four players from the 2010 season, with at most three Indians.
Choosing to retain players would subject to a reduction in their salary cap, reducing the amount they may spend on other players.
All other players are added to the auction.

The catchment areas of the eight existing teams were changed
to account for the two new teams.
Catchment areas are nominated areas to help each side select their local players.
Each team must select four players from their area.
A total of 12 players have been retained by
all the franchises while the remaining go to the auction list.
The retained players —
who must have been part of the franchise's registered squads for the 2010 season — were valued at $1.8 million for the first player,
$1.3 million for the second,
$900,000 for the third and $500,000 for the fourth.
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have retained the maximum of four players while the Kings XI Punjab,
Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Ridersreleased all their players.

on 24 January 2008.
The Rajasthan Royals,
Kings XI Punjab were temporarily ejected from the league due to issues with their unreported ownership changes.
The teams were reinstated with involvement from the High Court.

before BCCI cleared their new ownership pattern for the tournament.

After gaining independence from the British Empire in 1947, Pakistan cricket was played before the first Pakistan national team was granted test match playing status.

Documentation and archives show that during the 18th century, cricket was played on the western part of India and many successful Indian cricketers played for the English cricket team.

It was not until 28 July 1952 that Pakistan started playing test match cricket.

Their first match took place in Delhi against India on October of the same year.

Their first international tour was to England during 1954. Over the half century,

Pakistan has become one of the most challenging and unpredictable teams in the world,

the team won the 1992 Cricket World Cup and were runners up in the 1999 Cricket World Cup.

As of October 2007, the Pakistani team has played 332 Test matches, winning 30.29%, losing 26.76% and drawing 42.94% of its games.

The team is ranked sixth in both the ICC Test Championship and ICC ODI Championship.

On 28 August 2006, Pakistan won its debut Twenty20 International match in England

and were runners up in the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in September 2007.

They won the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, beating Sri Lanka by eight wickets.

Following the Partition of India in 1947 and the establishment of the separate province of Pakistan,

cricket in the country developed steadily and Pakistan was given Test match status

at a meeting of the Imperial Cricket Conference at Lord's Cricket Ground in

England on 28 July 1952 following recommendation by India,

which, being the successor state of the British Raj, did not have to go through such a process.

The first captain of the Pakistan national cricket team was Abdul Kardar.

Pakistan’s first Test match was played in Delhi in October 1952 as part of a five Test series which India won 2-1.

Pakistan made their first tour of England in 1954 and drew the series 1-1 after a memorable victory at The Oval in which fast bowler Fazal Mahmood took 12 wickets.

Pakistan’s first home Test match was in Dacca in January 1955 against India,

after which four more Test matches were played in Bahawalpur, Lahore,

Peshawar and Karachi (all five matches in the series were drawn, the first such occurrence in test history

The team is considered a strong but unpredictable team. Traditionally

Pakistani cricket has been filled with players of great talent but limited discipline,

making them a team which could play inspirational cricket one day and then perform less than ordinarily another day.

Over the years, competitions between India and Pakistan have always been emotionally charged and provide for intriguing contests,

as talented teams and players from both sides of the border elevate their game to new levels to produce high-quality cricket.
