Jaipur IPL Team: Rajasthan Royals
Jaipur IPL Team: Rajasthan Royals
What this franchise is doing in IPL? They lacked vision, strategy or passion to become successful in the Indian Premier League. Teams like Jaipur are not beneficial for the success of IPL Cricket. Rajasthan Royals were famous for courage and valour in the history but these Royals are just timid fellows.
Jaipur franchise was fined for underbidding during recently held DLF Indian Premier League auction. It failed to spend the minimum amount of Rs. 13.2 crore in the IPL auction.
Jaipur IPL Team analysis: Coach: Shane Warne.
Franchise: Emerging Media.
Money spent: Rs. 11.7 crore.
2. Graeme Smith- Good opener and strategist.
2. Weak batting and worst bowling attacks among IPL teams.
Jaipur IPL Team:
2. Graeme Smith- South Africa- 1.9 crore.
3. Younis Khan- Pakistan- 0.9 crore.

7. Munaf Patel- India- 1.1 crore.
8. Justin Langer.- Withdrawn from IPL.
IPL Team analysis: Mohali
IPL Team analysis: Mohali
Mohali boasts of best stadium and one of the fastest pitches in India. This franchise failed to buy its local hero, Harbhajan Singh, which will spoil its fortunes in crucial matches. Brett Lee and Irfan Pathan are crucial to the fortunes of Mohali team. Preity Zinta bagged most eye balls on the eve of Indian Premier League auction with her innocent look and good costumes. Will Mohali IPL team succeed like its owner? It needs to rope in big hitters among young recruits to increase its odds to win inagural Indian Premier League ywenty20 tournament.
Mohali IPL cricket Team review:
Franchise: Preity Zinta and Nes Wadia
Coach: Tom Moody (Australia).
Money spent on players: 18.4 crore.
2. Yuvraj Singh- World class twenty20 batsman.
3. Simon Katich is a good strategist in the Australian domestic league.
4. Brett Lee-World best fast bowler.
5. Irfan Pathan- Reliable all-rounder.
6. Good coach.
Weak points:
1. Who will open the innings?
2. Sreesanth is not a reliable option.
Mohali IPL cricket team:
1. Yuvraj Singh – Captain and Icon.
2. Kumara Sangakkara- Sri Lanka- 2.8 crore.
3. Mahela Jayawardene- Sri Lanka- 1.9 crore.
4. Ramnaresh Sarwan- West Indies- 0.9 crore.

9. Romesh Powar- India- 0.65 crore.
IPL Team analysis: Delhi daredevils
IPL Team analysis: Delhi daredevils
Delhi daredevils narrowly missed to build a great team in the Indian Premier League auction due to lack of proper strategy. Lack of big hitting all-rounders and brittle middle order may spoil its chances in the tight 20-20 matches. It should pick hard hitting young all-rounders to overcome this problem. Delhi team needs a world class middle order batsmen like Symonds or Yuvraj etc. Delhi boasts off best line and length bowlers like McGrath and Asif and good spinner, Daniel Vettori. GMR Holdings spent Rs 16 crore to acquire Delhi franchise.
Delhi daredevils IPL team review:
Rating: 3.5/5.
Money spent on players: 19.6 crore.
Franchise: GMR Holdings.
Strong points:
1. Good openers- Gambhir and Sehwag.
2. Md. Asif- superb bowler if not one of the best.
3. Experienced Glenn McGrath.
Weak points:
1. Weak keeper batsman- Dinesh Karthik.
2. Brittle middle order.
3. Where are hard hitters in the late stages?
Delhi IPL team:
Captain: Virender Sehwag- icon.
Other members:
1. Gautam Gambhir- India- 2.9 crore-best twenty20 player.
2. AB de Villiers- South Africa- 1.2 crore.
3. Shoaib Malik- Pakistan- 2 crore.
4. Tillekeratne Dilshan- Sri Lanka- 1 crore.
5. Manoj Tiwary- India- 2.7 crore?
6. Dinesh Karthik- India- 2.1 crore?
7. Daniel Vettori- New Zealand- 2.5 crore.
8. Mohammad Asif- Pakistan- 2.6 crore.
9. Ferveez Maharoof- Sri Lanka- 0.9 crore.
10. Glenn McGrath- Australia- 1.4 crore.
Verdict: Delhi daredevils may reach semi-finals if their bowlers performed well. I can’t understand why they spent so much money on Dinesh Karthik and Manoj Tiwary.
Please share your opinion on Delhi team.
IPL Team analysis: Mumbai Indian IPL team
IPL Team analysis: Mumbai Indian IPL team
Mumbai failed to bid aggressively during Indian Premier League cricket auction. It even failed to buy its good players like Robin Sharma. I failed to understand its subdued bidding strategy in the IPL auction. It may build a young team by roping in good young cricketers. Mukhesh Ambani's Reliance Retail won the Mumbai Franchise by outbidding Anil Ambani's ADAG. According to sources, Mukhesh Ambani has some big plans for his Mumbai IPL team. One thing is sure, Reliance will never do things on small scale.
"Mumbai Indians" IPL Team review:
Rating: 3.5/5.
Coach: Lalchand Rajput.
Franchise: Reliance Retail (Mukhesh Ambani).
Money spent on players: Rs 15.2 crore.
Strong Points:
1. Sachin Tendulkar- God of Indian Cricket.
2. Strong top order.
3. Harbhajan Singh- Best 20-20 spinner.
4. Shaun Pollock- Great all-rounder.
5. Robin Uthappa- Strong twenty20 cricketer.
Weak points:
1. Weak middle order batting.
2. Inexperienced wicketkeepers.
Mumbai IPL Team:
1. Sachin Tendulkar- Captain and Icon.
2. Sanath Jayasuriya- Sri Lanka- 3.9 crore.
3. Robin Uthappa- India- 3.2 crore.
4. Bosman- 0.69 crore.
5. Shaun Pollock- South Africa- 2.2 crore.
6. Harbhajan Singh- India- 3.4 crore.
7. Lasith Malinga- Sri Lanka- 1.4 crore.
8. Dilhara Fernando- Sri Lanka- 0.6 crore.
Young recruits:
1. Abhishek Nayyar- Mumbai All-rounder.
2. Ajinkya Rahane- Mumbai Opener and future hope.
3. Yogesh Takawale- Wicket Keeper.
4. Pinal Shah- Wicket Keeper.
Verdict: Unlike Laxman and Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar failed to guide Reliance Franchise in building a strong team. But we should not underestimate Mukhesh Ambani and his ambitions. He may surprise us with his future purchases.
Please share your opinion on Mumbai IPL team.
IPL Team analysis: Bangalore Royal challengers
IPL Team analysis: Bangalore Royal challengers
Bangalore IPL team is looking like a solid test team but not like a fearsome twenty20 team. Bangalore has one of the best bowling attacks among the Indian Premier League teams but left with a weak batting lineup. I can’t understand the rationale behind the purchase of players like Chanderpaul and Wasim Jaffer. Bangalore franchise miserably failed to pick a good batting team in the Indian Premier League auction which was recently held in Mumbai. 
Franchise: Vijay Mallya of UB group.
Coach:
Money spent on players: Rs. 15.2 crore.
Strong points:
1. Good wicket-keeper- Mark Boucher.
2. Anil Kumble spin on Indian pitches.
3. Very good bowling attack.
1. Too many accumulators- What will they do in 20-20 cricket matches?
2. Aged players like Dravid, Kallis and Chanderpaul.
1. Rahul Dravid- Captain and Icon.2. Jacques Kallis- South Africa- 3.6 crore.
3. Wasim Jaffer- India- 0.6 crore
4. Shivnarine Chanderpaul- West Indies- 0.8 crore.
5. Mark Boucher- South Africa- 1.8 crore.
6. Cameron White- Australia- 2 crore
7. Zaheer Khan- India- 1.8 crore.
8. Nathan Bracken- Australia- 1.3 crore.
9. Dale Stein- South Africa- 1.3 crore.
10. Anil Kumble- India- 2 crore.
“You can play only four overseas players in a match, so what’s the point in buying eight?” – Vijay Mallya.
IPL Team analysis: Kolkata Night Riders
IPL Team analysis: Kolkata Night Riders
Kolkata team has most passionate captain-owner combination among the Indian premier League teams. It is like Liverpool of India with Kolkata’s fans will definitely endorse this team as they do it for their football clubs. This IPL team finds it easy to attract audience as club culture is already established here.
If the management can able to add decent twenty20 middle order batsmen among its young recruits, Kolkata Night riders may surprise Hyderabad or Chennai. I can’t understand why it bought players like Agarkar and Taibu? Franchise failed to buy its wanted players like Brett Lee and Adam Gilchrist.
Kolkata IPL team review:
Rating: 3.75/5.
Franchise: Red Chillies Entertainment (Shah Rukh khan and Juhi Chawla)
Money spent at auction: Rs 20 crore.
Coach: John Buchanan.
1. Wonderful coach and inspirational captain.
2. It boasts of strongest top order in IPL with Ganguly, Gayle and Ponting. Kolkata and Hyderabad have strong top order line ups.
3. Most passionate captain and owner.
4. Good pace attack.
5. Brendum McCullum is a dangerous batsman.
Weak points:
1. Weak middle order.
2. Erratic Shoaib Akthar and Ajit Agarkar.
Kolkata Night Riders:
1. Sourav Ganguly (Icon) - Captain- 4.4 crore.
2. Chris Gayle- West Indies – 3.2 crore.
3. Ricky Ponting- Australia- 1.6 crore!
4. David Hussey- Australia- 2.5 crore!
5. Brendon McCullum – New Zealand – 2.8 crore.
6. Ramnaresh Sarwan- West Indies.
7. Shoaib Akthar- Pakistan- 1.7 crore.
8. Ajit Agarkar- India- 1.4 crore?
9. Ishant Sharma- India- 3.8 crore.
10. Umar Gul- O.6 crore.
11. Murali Kartik- india- 1.7 crore.
12. Tatenda Taibu- Zimbabwe- 0.5 crore.
Verdict: Kolkata night riders may reach semi-finals of the inaugural Indian Premier League twenty20 cricket tournament. I like to watch this team’s play at Eden gardens stadium. Passion rules!
Latest News: IPL Kolkata bought sensational Pakistan middle order batsman, Misbah-ul-Haq for Rs 72 lakhs. Misbah inclusion will definitely strengthen Kolkata IPL team.
IPO Team analysis: Chennai Super kings
IPO Team analysis: Chennai Super kings
India team franchise assembled strong lineup for the inaugural Indian Premier League 20-20 tournament. They aggressively bought Indian twenty20 team captain Dhoni for Rs 6 crore by defeating Mumbai and Bengaluru franchises. It strategically bought good all-rounders and good twenty20 players like Joginder Sharma and Suresh Raina. Experienced players are this team’s assets and may become weakness.

Weak points:

2. Matthew Hayden- Australia- 1.5 crore.
