MAX IPL-II is Back! (TEASER-III)

MAX IPL-II IS BACK! (TEASER II)

MAX IPL-II IS BACK :Amazing Teaser!

Ladies First! In IPL too…



As the thrill builds up towards season two of the IPL, what could one be looking ahead to? Definitely the sixes & fours. Perhaps the cheerleaders. Possibly a dash of hullabaloo. Or maybe the First Ladies Club of the glitzy league that has shattered the myth that cricket is an all-men club. "Last year it was fantastic to see everyone get together for the first time," Zinta says. "I think this time it's only going to be bigger, better and stronger because everyone knows each other now and it's a lot of fun." "I only want to wish the players a safe journey and hope they play well and put their best foot forward," she says.

On the other hand, Shilpa Shetty is making an appearance in the arc-lights quite often, dancing to the tunes of a new video one day and promoting the new outfit for the Rajasthan Royals on the other, increasingly relaxed talking cricket. Other ladies who don’t own any teams but are definitely promoting IPL are- Katrina Kaif, Neha Dhupia, etc.

The other Bollywood diva with a finger in the IPL pie, Juhi Chawla, isn't heard often, instead letting co-owner Shah Rukh Khan do most of the talking for the Kolkata Knight Riders. But she and a few others are sure to be seen cheering their teams on in South Africa. Shilpa Shetty's Bollywood rival Preity Zinta is now an expert at talking cricket. The owner of Kings XI Punjab is quite a 'hands on' boss as was seen last year. But she too can make quite a song and dance about her boys. So the African Safari this year seems to agree with her.” It’s quite different from any other matches taking place anywhere else in the world," says IPL commissioner Lalit Modi. "We have a lot of entertainment and top-quality cricket at the same time. I think it is going to be non-stop carnival atmosphere from the start to the end." It’s rightly said behind every successful man there is a woman…but what about these successful women…we have come up with a new phrase for these charming ladies!

Time For Celebration : India wins Test series on Kiwi soil after 41 years!

India proofed their primary series triumph on New Zealand soil in 41 years though rain denied them a deserving victory in the third cricket Test here on Tuesday. Rain played spoilsport in India's push for a 2-0 series win on the fifth and final day and the hosts escaped with a draw after they were down 281 for eight in the post-lunch session in chase of a near impossible 617 for a win.

The Indians, who outplayed the Kiwis right through the match, were well on course for a victory by trickery up four wickets in just over a session before light rain stopped play 30 minutes into post lunch session. Daniel Vettori on 15 was at the crease at that time along with Iain O'Brien (19). There was a glimmer of hope for India recording their 100th Test victory as covers were taken off for a short while to restart the post-lunch session half an hour after wildcat strike.

Zaheer Khan, who took five wickets in Kiwi first innings, ended the Test with figures of seven for 122 while Harbhajan Singh, with his 4/59 in New Zealand second essay, had match figures of seven for 102. India claimed three wickets in the morning session after being frustrated for more than one hour by Ross Taylor (107) and James Franklin (49) who stitched a 142-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
