Great memories & a great bunch of people #ipl2016 - Shane Warne April 9, 2016 He takes and wicket and keep bothering batsmen with his swinging deliveries GOOD OVER: After 2 overs: Mumbai Indians 12 for 1: Ishant has a very good over. The West Indian launches RP Singh straight down the line. SIX: Simmons hits the first six of the tournament. They are swinging the ball well and the Mumbai batsmen are finding difficulties to gauge the line. He bowls an inswinger which hits Simmon’s off-stump.ĬONSECUTIVE FOURS: Pandya suddenly switches the gear and hits back-to-back fours in Ishant’s second over.Īfter 3 overs: Mumbai Indians 20 for 1: Barring a four and a six, the Pune bowlers have had edge so far. ![]() WICKET: After 3.5 overs: Mumbai Indians 29 for 2: Ishant roars again and this time he finishes Simmons’s innings. Pandya goes for a pull shot but the ball gets top edge, flies up in the air, and goes in wicketkeeper-captain Dhoni’s hands behind the wicket. WICKET: After 4.1 overs: Mumbai Indians 29 for 3: Mitchell Marsh starts his IPL campaign on a positive note as he takes a first-ball wicket. It swings outward, Buttler wants to flick it away but the ball takes the outer edge and goes in Ashwin’s hands in the first slip.

WICKET: After 4.6 overs: Mumbai Indians 30 for 4: Marsh on a roll. #IPL #MIvRPS- Aakash Chopra April 9, 2016 ![]() He took his team Deccan Charges to an IPL win couple of years ago and he would dream the same for his current team Kings XI Punjab.Why is Ashwin no longer a part of the Indian Slip Cordon? The catch to dismiss Buttler was a very neat take. ![]() So we can certainly expect some big sixes tonight. He is very well known for his swift wicketkeeping and hard hitting batting. Punjab on the other hand will be led by the aggressive Australian former wicket keeper Adam Gilchrist. He will have his own game plans and techniques to tackle the T20 challenge and he would love to soar newer heights with this captaincy role of Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan will no longer enjoy the tricks and plans of Shane Warne and the responsibility is handed over to the “Wall” Rahul Dravid. On the second thriller today, two teams Rajasthan and Punjab would face each other who have gradually lost their lustre in last couple of IPL years. Some good buys of Pune Warriors are busy playing international matches but they would soon be available to Ganguly which would make the team much stronger in the upcoming matches. Yuvraj Singh is unavailable for Pune this year as he is recovering from cancer. Ganguly’s team would be itching to register their first ever win over Mumbai in IPL. They would love to kick start the proceedings with a win against Mumbai Indians who are favourites to win this year’s IPL. ![]() Pune Warriors led by Ganguly has a new rhythm set in with a new blue outfit. But if somehow Sachin plays today, cricket fans would love to see Sachin facing off Ganguly in this IPL feature. Harbhajan Singh still has enough resources to keep his strong in the absence of Sachin. Sachin is unlikely to play as he broke his finger while trying to avoid a bouncer from Doug Bollinger in the opening match. They have never lost a match against Pune Warriors so far in IPL history and they would start as favourites today. Mumbai Indians are already in the driver’s seat with a win over the defending champions Chennai in the first match. First match will be played at 4pm IST and the second match will be played at 8pm IST. Mumbai Indians plays against Pune Warriors and Rajasthan Royals plays against Kings Eleven Punjab. Double treat for the cricket fans today after a thrilling T20 match played at Eden Gardens yesterday. ![]()
