Centuries in IPL - All Seasons

noreply@blogger.com (Balaji & Geetha) — Fri, 2 Apr 2010 16:01:00 -0700

Centuries scored in the IPL has reached double digit. Scoring a hundred in the shorter version of the game is no more a big task. If the top order batsmen ensure that he stays in the crease till 15th over, he can definitely score a hundred.

The first hundred was scored by Brendom McCullum (Kolkata Knight Riders) against Bangalore Royal Challengers in the very first match of the IPL. He in fact crossed 150 mark and was unbeaten on 158 in just 73 balls which had 10 fours and 13 sixes. Until now, 32nd match in IPL 3 edition, he is the highest individual scorer.

Second top scorer is Andrew Symonds from Deccan Chargers. He scored unbeaten 117 in 53 balls which had 11 fours and 7 sixes against Rajasthan Royals in 2008.

There are 3 Indians in the list--Manish Pandey off Bangalore Royal Challengers scoring unbeaten 114 in 73 balls with 10 fours and 4 sixes. His century came against Deccan Chargers in 2009 edition.

The second Indian is Yousuf Pathan. He is the record holder for the fastest hundred in IPL. His 100 came against Sachin lead Mumbai Indians in just 37 balls which had 9 fours and 8 sixes, in 2010.

The other Indian is Murali Vijay from Chennai Super Kings against Rajasthan Royals. In a record breaking match where CSK scored 246 for 5, the highest in IPL, Murali Vijay contributed with 127 off just 56 balls. He sent the ball 8 times to boundary line and 11 times out of the boundary. A six went out of the MA Chidambaram Stadium. CSK won by 23 runs.

IPL 2009: Grand Gala Closing Ceremony as Katrina and Akon bring down curtains!

noreply@blogger.com (Balaji & Geetha) — Tue, 26 May 2009 09:08:00 -0700

The IPL 2009 has seen tremendous response from all over the country. Though initial reports show lesser TRP rate, it has reached far more people that last year.

The event was a grand success as it was decided in the last minute to move out of India. The South African authorities made all the arrangements in a short time and made it a wonderful event for the cricketing world.

First year, it was Rajasthan Royals who occupied the presentation podium. RR beat CSK in the final to win the first edition of IPL.

Second year, the teams which finished last in the 1st edition clashed in the final. Hyderabad Deccan Chargers beat Bangalore Royal Challengers by 6 runs to clinch the title.

The closing ceremony was well planned with a wonderful orchestra. It had multiple events with all of them attracting the spectators. The fireworks, flying lanters

The ceremony started with the welcome address by Modi then an address by South African President Jacob Zuma. He thanked the organizers for choosing his country, thanked bolloywood stars Shahrukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty for coming to SA. He also mentioned that the team names have become household names across the county.

He further added that advertising spend, tourism potential and global exposure have benefited SA very well.

Around 1 500 flying lanterns were lit and released to the amazement of the crowds, while several thousand rounds of dazzling fireworks lit the Johannesburg skyline.

Katrina Kaif along with Akon gave a breath-taking performance. She danced well for the Oscar winning Jay Ho song.

Katrina entertained the audience to the fullest inspite of her team the Royal Challengers Bangalore losing to the Deccan Chargers Hyderabad.

The evening was also festooned with the performance of Eddy Grant who sang his popular number, "Walking In The Sunshine" and "Gimme Hope Jo'anna".

The Indo-African fushion was fantastic as it gave a wonderful cultural flavor to the audience.

After all these, the main event, trophies were presented to the winners. Momentos were given to umpires, medals were given to runners and winners.

Kumble took the man of the match for his 4 wickets. Rohit Sharma won the upcoming under-23 cricketer award, Hayden won the Orange Cap for leading run scorer, RP Sing the Purple Cap for leading the wickets tally, and Gilchrist the all-rounder award.

It was a fantastic end to the mega event! Congratulations to the organizers and everyone involved in the success of this event!

Laxman was told "His service Not Required" for DC: Gilchrist

noreply@blogger.com (Balaji & Geetha) — Tue, 26 May 2009 05:16:00 -0700

Gilchrist has come out openly and said that his predecessor was already given notice about excluding him from the team.

VVS Laxman captained Hyderabad Deccan Chargers in IPL 2008 but did not find any success. He his leadership post was replaced by former Australian keeper Adam Gilchrist. He managed some wins but ended in the 7th position. Bangalore finished lost at 8th position.

This year, DC started aggressively and surprised everyone with their performance. Adam Gilchrist became the second top run scorer behind the orange cap winner Matthew Hayden from Chennai Super Kings.

"VVS Laxman went through a lot obviously emotionally as he had the captaincy taken away from him and he has been here and played just five games. We told him that we did not need him in the end of the tournament. But we wanted him to contribute--his vast knowledge, experience and another thing that is a wonderful example that not only Twenty 20 players but also a senior player like him wants to learn how to play Twenty20 format. He has worked with our fitness trainer, fielding coach and head coach Darren Lehmann. So, that is exciting to see that VVS epitomises what the franchise has been this year," Gilchrist was quoted as saying Monday on the official IPL website.

Laxman played just 5 matches this season and was not seen after that. He was not available in the dug-out also. He became visible in the presentation ceremony to collect his medals with the happy Chargers with the trophy.
