IPL 2009 - Deccan Chargers - My views.

What a final between Deccan chargers and Banglore Royal Chargers. Worth watching it till end. Lot of lessons to learn from this tournament. First let me analyze the teams. Kolkatta Knight Riders of ShahRukh Khan. This team has all big names like Brendon Mccullum, Sourav Ganguly, Chris gayle, Ishant Sharma. The problem was the coach who created confusions to such extent that people lost faith on each other in team. Hence they ended at the bottom of the table rightly. Any team which doesnot have common goal ends like that only. Next Mumbai, all great players Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasurya, Zaheer khan, Harbajhan Singh, Lasith Malinga etc. They played for individualistic not for team. Any person who thinks he is great and doesnot care for team goal is bound to face this situation. Ego of being greats made sure of their fall. Any person in any walk of like personal or professional feels individualistic is bound to bite the dust. The same happened to Mumbai Indians. Let us see the semifinal matches. Deccan Chargers versus Delhi Dare Devils. The match was supposed to have been fought more close than the way it went ahead. Virendra Sehwag played a very loose shot which got him out. He is a champion batsman, but he hardly believes in team goals even being a captain. That one match has taken away all the wins which Delhi had in the initial rounds. Chennai versus Banglore, what a match it was. Dhoni and Kumble both showed their mettle. But only one team can win and Banglore did as they did few mistake than chennai Super kings. But full credit goes to both the teams for such a good match. Dhoni was cool even after loss and presented himself as a nice gentleman. The last was the finals. I personally met Kumble at Delhi and he is a champion cricketer. He has the guts to open the bowling to Gilchrist. He is a spinner and bowling to Gilchrist where grip on ball is zero is not easy. But he took the challenge and got Gilchrist clean bowled in the first over of the match itself. We all know what is Gibbs. But look at the maturity that guy has carried. He was there till the end by guiding the younger players like T.Suman(nobody knows him before IPL), Venugopal Rao, A.Bilakhia(not even ranji player), harmeet singh. That is what is the quality needed for success whether sports or life. He made sure that a decent total is posted on the board. When it came to bowling Harris, RP opened with such a tight spell it has made Banglore to try something different. Deccan Chargers did not have big names but believed in their leader Adam Gilchrist and jelled well as a team. That was the difference in that game. Look at the bowling of harminder singh and superb catch(dream catch), look at Pragyan Ojha what a bowling, these are not big names but they did for the team. In any aspect of life people who work for teams and understand goals properly will deliver the results and people who are invidualistic and opportunistic for fame( Sachin, jayasurya doing idea ads) are bound to bite dust. Rajasthan royals was a great team, but they lacked services of shane watson and pakisthani bowler. I love this team too for spirit of game from Ravinera Jadeja, Naman Ojha etc. So friends finally a great show by deccan chargers who deserve this win for having people who played for team rather than indivisualists.

May god vishnu bless all with happiness.
