It is that time of the year again when the IPL kicks off in India. For many of my friends in North America and Europe who are not familiar with the IPL. The IPL is the Indian Premier League where 8 teams compete in a home and away format in a game of cricket.
The IPL although only in its 3rd edition is as popular in India as the super bowl is in America or the English Premier League is in England.
So far the league has favored the underdogs. In the first edition, Rajastan Royals which was rated as the weakest team in the IPL won the title. In the second edition, the team that finished last in the league in the first edition won the title and the team that finished second last in the first edition came to the finals.
This year also the trend seems to continue. Kolkota Knight Riders, last year’s wooden spoon holders have won their first two matches and look like the team to beat.
My prediction for the semifinal line up is:
Kolkota Knight Riders
Bangalore Royal Challengers
Chennai Super Kings
Rajastan Royals
I know it is quite an unconventional line up. I have left out the dangerous Delhi Daredevils, the defending champions Deccan Chargers, Kings XI Punjab and Sachin Tendulkar’s Mumbai Indians.
Let’s wait and watch to see if my prediction turns out right!
