The only two teams who look in trouble so far are Delhi Deardevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

IPL Match Live Score Updates - Deccan Chargers Vs Rajasthan Royals

The second match if the IPL 2011 will be played between Deccan Chargers and Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals squad will be lead by 41 years old legendary leg spinner Shane Warne who also lead the team to victory in the first edition of the Indian Premier League T20 championship. Johan Botha, Paul Collingwood, Shaun Tait, Shane Watson, Rahul Dravid, Aakash Chopra are the other known stars in the team. But this time team doesn't looks so lethal in the batting line up as it used to be. However Rajasthan Royals had a strong bowling which is capable to winning matches for them.

Deccan team will be lead by Sri Lankan test team captain Kumar Sangakkara, he will also be keeping wickets for the team. This team looks more balanced team with some big names like Shikhar Dhawan, Jean-Paul Duminy, Manpreet Gony, Pragyan Ojha, Amit Mishra, Kevin Pietersen, Kevin Pietersen, Dale Steyn, Cameron White.

Deccan definitely looks solid on the cards but we all know anything can happen in a T20 game so lets wait for the match. Keep visiting for all the coverage of IPL Twenty twenty championship.

IPL Opening Ceremony and First Match - IPL 2011

IPL Twenty Twenty Championship tournament is about to begin in 2 days from now and Saturday April 2011, we will see the opening ceremony and the inaugural match between the defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Kolkatta Knight Riders. Chennai is the team lead by captain cool M S Dhoni who may not perform like other stars in the team but he is very lucky in taking the decision. Whereas the Kolkatta Knight Riders team has aleways been full with super star cricketers right from the season 1 but still the team has performed badly in all the previous versions of the IPL.

If you look at the squad of the Kolkatta Knight Riders team this time it contains more huge names as compared with the past. Team is captained by Gautam Gambhir and includes big names like Lakshmipathy Balaji, Brad Haddin, Brad Haddin, Eoin Morgan, Eoin Morgan, Jaidev Unadkat, Ryan ten Doeschate, Yusuf Pathan and Bret Lee. Definitely if Kolkata Knight riders win the opening match then I am going to support this team for this season.

IPL T20 final - Sachin Vs Dhoni - Mumbai Indians Vs Chennai Super Kings

After a long battle for 45 days the day has come the final match. Todays match will decide who will be the winner of IPL3. For Mumbai Indians playing of the captian Sachin Tendulkar is still in doubt. I think perhaps Sachin will not want to miss the final and will play todays match for sure.

Sachin experience is much neede as Mumbai Indians team has neever been in the final of IPL before whereas Chennai has the experience of loosin in the final of IPL1. I wish the experince increse by one more defeat ;) .

IPL Blocbuster - Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Deardevils

Now this is gonna be a definitely a must watch match. Delhi may have a upper hand as they have won three of the four match played between two teams, Delhi is also currently at the top of points table of IPL 2010. But Mumbai has bigger stars inthe team. Battin is backed by Sachin and Jaysurya whereas bowling they have two international bowlers Zaheer Khan and Latish Malinga. They can win a match of their own for Mumbai.
