Who will stop Kings XI Punjab in IPL7

Kings Xi team so far has no so exciting outings in IPL history but they have made a very solid start in IPL this year. They have won all the first three matches they played so far  by chasing 200+ against CSK, 190+ against Rajasthan Royals and then defeating Sunrisers Hyderadbad easily yesterday.

Everyone is talking about how solid batting line Punjab have got and who will stop the Kings Xi team this year. The answer is simple anyone who can stop the big hitter and holder of the orange cap Glenn Maxwell can win the game against Kings XI easily. Thus other teams who will play Kings XI in the remaining part of the tournament need to do the home work on how to handle the brutal attack of Maxwell. Apart from Maxwell, David Miller is another threat for the teams. Punjab team on the other hand need to improve the opening attach so that there isn't much competition for the middle order. The other area of concern for Punjab is a weak balling attack, they certainly need to improve this area.

The next match Kins XI team will play is again a solid Kolkata Knight Riders, the batting of KKR is not so nice but they have got a lethal balling attack. KKR and RCB are the two teams I expect to defeat the Kings XI team. Bit given the form of the Maxwell and Miller it seems like this year Kings XI team could have the longest unbeaten streak in the history of IPL and also lift the title.

My best wishes to the Kings XI team and special best wishes for the openers Pujara and Sehwag looking for a opening stand from them that could last for minimum 10 overs.

KKR to bowl first in IPL Match against Punjab Today

KKR team won the toss first and the captain Gutam Gambhir has decided to bowl first against the hosts Kings XI Punjab team. The main problem with matches in Mohali is that they are not entertaining and many time low scoring. I've watched a couple of IPL matches in Mohali and sometimes the matches end up without even a single sixer being hit in the two innings.

I hope the match between KKR and Kings XI today won't be that dull and we'd be able to see a entertaining T20 encounter today. Its just 15 minutes left for the Kings XI teams batting to start and we'll be able to see the progress of the match from the live scoreboard updates tickling.  Punjab team started the IPL season with a win first time in the history of IPL this year but they are lacking the firepower in the batting. KKR on the other hand is quiet strong team and they might be able to make it to the semifinals this year.

After this match RCB will play against Delhi Daredevils. The Delhi team is the only team in IPL that haven't won any match yet. I wish Delhi team all the best and hope they will win the match today.

Brett Lee to replace Akram as bowling coach for KKR

Since the legendary pace bowler Wasim Akram has decided to take a break from his responsibilities as a bowliing consultant of Kolkata Knight Riders team, the Australian fast bowler Brett has been selected by the KKR team management to take up the role. Brett Lee now will play the dual role in the Knight Riders team one as a player, leading the pace attack and second as the bowling coach.

Team management decide to opt out of looking for some from outside as they thought Brett Lee with his vast experience in international cricket is the best fit for the mentors job for this session of IPL.

IPL begins April 3 and Kolkata team will face Delhi DearDevils in the match. I am quiet excited top see how Brett Lee will perform and what impact he will have on the team as a mentor.

Lets wait and watch how this change  gonna help the KKR Team. You can check IPL match schedule in the previous post.
