IPL-3 Is Getting More Interesting

9th match of the DLF IPL 2010 has just finished. It was completely one team show, only Mumbai Indians... Mumbai Indians ... Mumbai Indian (MI). They have completely outplayed opponent Delhi Daredevils (DD) in all respect, batting, bowling and fielding. Superb 98 run victory has lifted MI to the top of the points table and DD slipped to the third spot. Once again we witnessed another blistering innings by master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, he rewarded as player of the match for his 32 ball 63.
With the joining of Bravo and Pollard in the team, MI looks very strong team in every departments; batting, bowling and also in all rounder category. Young Indians of the team (Tiwary, Rayudu, Tare, Satish) are also looking in very good touch. Overall they are one of the strongest contenders of playing the final this year.
Yesterday Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) dream run had been stopped by Dhoni's Chennai Super King (CSK).
An unbroken 109 run partnership in 65 balls between captain Dhoni and Badrinath just took the match away from KKR.
So, the IPL-3 is getting very interesting, teams win one day go to lose on the other day... still long way to go, anything can happen. But my intuition says, KKR & MI will make it to the final this year. Let's see...
