Game is going to change soon. Players joining and departing...
Bangalore, India - April 23, 2008
There is going to be lots of changes happening in team as well as there strength. In all of the 8 teams, Mumbai Indians are not going to lose or gain any players. Rajasthan Royals is going to look very strong team after Graeme Smith,
Younis Khan, Dimitri Mascarenhas, the hard hitter T20 specialist and
Sohail Tanveer will join the team with in few days. We hope to see them before there match in Bangalore on 25th April.
Kolkata Knightriders is one of the team which will lose the captain expectise of Ricky Ponting (offcourse Ganguly is the Captain but Ponting was a great support for him). The big lose will be Brendon McCullum, the Orange Cap holder. Hope to see him in action last time before he joins his national team on England tour. Chris Gayle and
Umar Gul will be joining. Chris Gayle will be for short duration as the 1st test match against Australia starts by May 22 or so. Shahrukh may be hoping that Shohib Akthar can join his team, that will be a real big boost for him and his team.
Other major drawback will be for Super Kings, Dhoni's team. All the 3 big shorts are leaving Matthew Hayden,
Michael Hussey and
Jacob Oram to join there national teams. They will be replaced by Makhaya Ntini and
Albie Morkel. Can they match the departed player. Lets see whats going to happen. Dhoni has to start firing from his bat. He has to lead from the front with scoring runs too.
Brett Lee and
Simon Katich will also depart from Kings X| Punjab team, it will not effect too much for the team. It is still on the bottom of the point table and has to open the account. They will miss Lee's bowling, but nobody is going to join them in the team. It may be a diffcuilt task for Yuvi to bring his team up in the ladder. Preity Zinta will be very worried owner. Yuvraj has to start batting very well and the team has to win matches.
Deccan Charges may be sort of happy to send bye bye to
Andrew Symonds as he was not that effective after 2 matches. Sehwag just smashed his one over for 30 runs. Symonds is a real gem when he starts performing. Don't be sad Hyderabad guys, one hitter goes another joins. He is South African Herschelle Gibbs. He is real attacking player. He is good filder too. Hope he may bring luck for Deccan team.
Daniel Vettori will be joining his NeaZealand team in UK. This will not effect Delhi DareDevils as Delhi is Rocking now and they have Shoaib Malik who had joined the team and played against Deecan Chargers too yesterday.
Bnaglore Royals Challengers will be one more team whose strength will increase, they will have lot more choice to pick player. Ashley Nofke will be going but it will not make any differnce for the team. Dale Steyn will be joing the team, he is going to rock and break lots of wickets with his fast and furious bowling.
Misbah-ul-Haq is one of the specialist batmans of 20/20 will be joining the team.
I think the greater advantage team will be Rajasthan Royals. This will be fun to watch what is going to be folded next week. Point tables may tumble upside down.
