After the 1st round of matches in the IPL, in order to even out the “playing ground”, we decided each of us would offload one of our teams. The teams to be offloaded were to be written on separate chits of paper and the person with the least number of points would take a go at selecting the new team. And this would not be disclosed till each of us had picked our new teams.
So the process started with Bips taking the lead (he was at the end of the table) and selecting his team. Bips was followed by Gopal, myself and Kumz. Each of us were happy to have got any team other than KKR (Kolkata Knightriders) who have just not been able to take off this season.
After all the selections were done, it was time to disclose the new teams and here are the new teams that each of us own:
Gopal – retained Delhi, offloaded Mumbai and got Rajasthan. Two really strong teams;
Kumz – retained Chennai, offloaded Deccan and got Mumbai. A good combination of the teams. Chennai peaking at the right time and Mumbai too can bounce back anytime with Sachin and Jayasuriya.
Adi – retained Bangalore, offloaded Rajasthan and got Deccan. Currently own two of the worst performing teams of IPL 2008, but Bangalore seem to have found some momentum under their new captain and hope they continue to retain the same and Deccan are slightly going off track after the exit of their strike bowler Fidel Edwards but hope Symonds can weave some magic.
Bips – retained Punjab, offloaded Kolkata and got back Kolkata. Bips and Kolkata – an unbreakable bond !!
Its now time to see how the new teams perform and if they prove to be lucky to their owners !!
