IPL season II

The Indian Premier League II has ended in a cordial, colourful and friendly atmosphere. The people of South Africa and the cricket fans there responded with goodwill, brotherhood and sporting spirit to boost the good image of the IPL, India and Indian cricket. IPL authorities have succeeded in keeping the spirit of the game alive. The organisers in South Africa deserve kudos too.

The brilliant captaincy of Gilchrist and good fielding enabled the Deccan Chargers to win the final match. Gilly is a great motivator. Kumble is an inspiration for generations.

The season was indeed special because the top four teams making it to the semi-finals could not be judged till the last few matches were played (leaving aside the Delhi Daredevils). The final match was a big surprise as the teams at the bottom of the points table last year made it to the finals. The victory of the Deccan Chargers showed how true leadership can take a team to the topmost position.
