Thought of Bride still a Bridesmaid!!

Before today RCB had been twice in finals but, couldn’t take team to finishing line. 

Today it was RCB’s classic chance to finally win their maiden IPL trophy at home and yet again they felt awfully short of winning!! 

It was a big score (208) to chase down but, till Gayle was on 22yards RCB looked in a different zone all together. He went ballistic right from the word go but, then came a moment which RCB would want to forget in hurry!! 

First went Gayle, then went Kholi, then AB’ D, then Watson one after another they came, tried and left dejected!!! 

The say; pressure is one which can get better of anyone and the ‘Institution of Batting’ which RCB has just faced the music!! 

It was a monumental effort from RCB’s battling lineup to reach 200 runs, but then history; it remembers the winners not the efforts!!

Now, for the next time but, make no mistake; the great horses of RCB are getting old by the day!! 

Can they ever be a Bride or will they always play a role of Bridesmaid?!! 

Commiseration RCB, Congrats SRH!!

A love story of chase continues...

Ambitious, intimidating, dominating, win at all cost are few of the adjectives which would come to the mind when you see India’s new run machine called Virat Kohli on 22-yard!! 

He began in Australia in January, continued through the Asia Cup, then ICC World Twenty20, and now has light up IPL like never before.  

Alone in IPL 2016 he has scored 4 centuries, surpassed 900+ runs with still a few more games to go. 

It’s all about a man who has mesmerized everyone not just with his batting skills but, by his insane physical fitness on the ground and mental fitness to get team out of shackles when it has mattered the most!!!  

If seeing Virat bat first is poetic, then seeing his love story in chasing down big scores has been a fairy tale. 

RCB is just couple of games away from their maiden IPL victory and the Captain of the ship looks more than determined to make it count this time around!!   

GL RCB, GL Virat!!!

Once a master finisher...Is he heading to a career finish?!!

Ambitious, confident, encouraging but beyond all a Man who we all knew was very well verse with a word called WINNING!!! 

Be it for India or for ‘super whore series’ also called IPL – MSD was one person on most of the occasion got his respective team India and CSK back in a dugout with a winning smile!!! 

But, this year I guess MS has seen the most frustrating year of all time since, he has been on International platform!!! 

I for one never was a CSK fan neither a Pune fanatic supporter when it comes to IPL. But, I for all these years have followed and cheered team which had MS on their side… 

And now, suddenly seeing him lose every match is the most frustrating thing!!! 

Yes… start of the year 2016 it was semis of WC final in Mumbai and now the current IPL Pune team MS has been there seen it all!!! 

HAS LADY-LUCK RUN OUT OF ITS COURSE?!! IS MS AT FINISHING LINE OF HIS CAREER?!! 

ADMIT IT – IT HURST TO SEE MS lose a match after match but, then... 

I guess every super exiting thing someday comes to an end!!! – 

Thank you MS!!
