Rajasthan Royals
The best team till date is the Rajasthan Royals. They are less costly do not have big names in their batting. They were supposed to finish last. They proved the world wrong.

T-20 Cricket
I have always believed that cricket is not a team game. It is not even a proper sport. It is an English time pass for bored people. It is more like Chess and is a competition between the bowler and the batsmen. The other 10 fielders on the field are there to follow the game plan made by the bowler and the captain. The captain job is mainly to decid... more...

IPL - The hunter will become the hunted
The IPL organizers feel they are GOD and can control the beast they have unleashed. Many times the beast take a life of their own and start controlling their masters. The hunter becomes the hunted.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . . .  She was not beautiful. Nothing about her was extraordinary. Nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd. She grew up in a family of six.
