The Great India Rift.

Last time, the rift was renewed in South Africa for the Season 2, which was carried forward by the Hyderabad based team of the Deccan Charges, under the able captaincy of Adam Gilchrist. The edition 1 was conquered by the Jaipur based team, the Rajasthan Royals, under Shane Warne. This time on, the fight is back and for 60 matches on the trot, India will be divided into states and ethnicity to ponder on a pride of domicility... to ponder upon the greatest leisure madness in the nation: Cricket.

DLF Indian Premier League 3, edition of 2010, which will be starting off today in Mumbai with match being played at Navi Mumbai between the defending champions: Deccan Chargers and the newly tinted Knight Riders, based from my b'ful city of Kolkata. The latter will be spearheaded by the returning captain, Sourav Ganguly.

Set Max is to bring the matches live, the fixture of which can be obtained from the user friendly schedule chart obtained at the IPL official website. Click here for details.

Two new teams from Pune and Ahmedabad will be entering the IPL 4, in the tryst of Mr. Modi to stitch the whole India together amidst the Rift in Passion. It seems very ODD that many of the Non Mumbaikars will want Sachin to get OUT as soon as possible. As an edition of two back slogan mentioned, Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hain...anything can happen, to wish Sachin's wicket by an "Indian" is really unexpected!! Thank God its just IPL!!!

Apart from new teams, sketched for a new begining, IPL 3 has a kitty of newbies!!
1) Sehwag is replaced by Gautam Gambhir as Delhi DareDevils captain.
2) Yuvraj is overtaken by Sangakkara in the Kings 11 Punjab.
3) KKR will be coming with a renewed  jersey.
4) Commercially, IPL will be screened in movie halls for all matches, except the Eden Garden's matches, because of renovation of the ground is underway.
5) IPL will have live streaming (5min delay) in You tube. Click here for the show!

So... I support KKR... who do you?
