A Dream Come True

Wow it was amazing, it was awesome, it was great , IT was a dream come true for any cricket fan out there today. Two world class batsmen playing together well the famous Indian song applies here;"It happens only in India" Well you could change that to Indian Premier League.

If you are a cricket fan then the names Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya might be Godly to you; well they definitely are for me and my dream of watching both the players playing together came true today in the IPL season 2 Mumbai Indian's vs Kolkatta Knight Riders. It was like two professional players were playing gully crickets in the streets of India. No I don't mean to disrespect the other team players what I mean is that the runs scored by both only through boundaries was more then 100. Not only that both the players showed great skills by playing shots that can be said to be innovative as well as creative. I know I am not able to explain everything perfectly its just that I am too excited. Well at this point the Mumbai Indians have made 187 runs and the Knight Riders need to make 188 to win which does not seems possible. You can take my word that they have lost it.

Mumbai Indians scored 187/6 in 20 overs.
The Mumbai Indians Opening pair made a blazing partnership of 127 runs in just 12.1 overs as Mumbai Indians notched up the highest total at St. George's Park in any form of Twenty20 cricket.

Winning the toss and batting first, Tendulkar led the brutal assault with a knock of 68 runs off 45 balls that was studded with 4 sixes and 6 fours, slamming his third IPL fifty in the process.

Jayasuriya also hit his third IPL fifty with the help of 4 sixes and 2 fours and was dismissed for 52 that came off 32 deliveries.

Both Tendulkar and Jayasuriya were dismissed by Laxmi Ratan Shukla in consecutive overs.

Shukla first trapped Tendulkar in front of the wicket in the 13th over and in his next over had Jayasuriya caught by Arindam Ghosh at backward point.

Who ever wins or loses I am really enjoying cricket. The 20twenty version has definitely brought cricket at its best.
