Yashpal Sharma... Why you got out??

Desperation on Dada's face.. like never before. Never have seen Sourav so pissed off.
He just walked out of the field so fast after the super over, was terribly dissappointed with himself.

Yashpal Sharma holds out in the deep, Sourav Ganguly was so frustrated that he could have kicked him in his genitals. KKR had the match in total control, had Yashpal Sharma and Sourav Ganguly stayed till the end, the Defending champions Rajasthan Royals would have licked dust.

Too many assumptions.. Right.. In the End, it was the brutal power of Yusuf Pathan that made the Royals realise that they were the team, which could repeat history.

Sourav got out in the penultimate ball, leaving Ishanth to face the last ball which lead to the super over.

Any sensible captain would have tossed the ball to a medium pacer, considering spinners could be easily picked on, even the great Shane Warne ruled himself out to bowl the super over and gave it to the young Kamran Khan.

Taking lead from Shane Warne, Brendum Mucullum captain of KKR should have given the ball to Ishanth Sharma or some other medium pacer, rahter than giving it to Ajantha Mendis which proved a disaster to KKR, nevertheless not taking any credit out from Yusuf for his monstrous hitting.

This Season 2 IPL has now arrived big time, thanks to yesterday's games, Daredevils v/s Superkings and RR v/s KKR.

IPL 2 now is widely open and the teams will have to fight hard to survive and stay on top.
