Big hits. Millions of Television viewers. Loads of glamour.

Pathan walked away with the man of the match in the final game while Watson is the man of the series. Tanvir, for his 22 wickets, won the purple cap. The orange cap for the highest scorer went to Shaun Marsh of Kings XI Punjab. Warne's side received a cheque of USD 1.2 million (4.8 Crores Rs.) while the runners-up Chennai got half that amount.

.

50% cable and satellite viewers tuned in to IPL`s last leg: It was a dream come true for the leading sponsors and advertisers of DLF's Indian Premier League (IPL) as the two semi-finals and the final were watched by over 64 million cable viewers across the country or about 50 per cent of the individual cable and satellite viewers.

So, IPL success is the death of one-day internationals?

King v King, Singh v Singh, Captain v Captain & Lover v Lover

Yes, a big fight between Two Kings, Two Singh's, Two Captains & Two Great Lover...

Not fighting for "Deepika Padukone"

Earlier, the rumours of Indian Cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni romancing Om Shanti Om heroine Deepika Padukone has taken a twist and also the story has switched to Indian cricket vice captain Yuvraj Singh. Both are tried to reach hearth of Deepika Padukone. Climax was different but are they fighting once again? No...

Not fighting to prove "Singh is King" Not even for "Indian Captaincy"

.

They are fighting for Indian Premiem league. Yes, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh are fighting for Victory in DLF IPL semi finals. Chennai Super Kings v/s Kings XI Punjab running the race for Final, both the teams are in good form and having great players like Stephen Fleming, Muralitharan, Ntini, Jacob Oram, Parthiv Patel, Suresh Raina, Vidyut, Gony, Badrinath, Balaji and other side Hopes, Mahela Jayawardene, Irfan Pathan, Ramesh Powar, Kumar Sangakkara, Sreesanth, Piyush Chawla and more.

Don't miss DLF IPL Semi Final II only on Setmax @ 31st May, 8.00 P.M

Romance & Exposing in Indian Premier League

Now a days cricket is not only a game but a place where Celebrities do Romance & Exposing. Take an example of Indian Premier League (IPL) Celebrities like Preety Zinta with her Kings XI team.

Akshay Kumar suppoting his home city Delhi Daredevil and Katrina Kife suppoting her home city Bangalore Royal Challengers. But both enjoying like they came for Honeymoon.

Karina Kapoor & Saif Ali Khan feeling like they came for a park rather than a cricket match and same with Gowri Khan with Arjun Rampal, Karan Joshar & Sajid Khan and Celebrities like Mandira Bedi, Riya Sen & Silpa Setty competing with Cheerleaders in exposing.

So what's the future of Cricket specially 20-20.

Semi Finalists of IPL

After the long race, here the Final four teams of Indian Premier League' Semi finalist.

.
.RAJASTHAN ROYALS V/S DELHI DAREDEVILS

.
.KINGS XI PUNJAB V/S CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

Both the Kings of IPL are not fighting for Captaincy not even for Deepika padukone, its for Indian premier league Championship.

Deccan Charges Unstoppable

Yes, Nobody can stop Deccan Charges to losing. Hyderabad people are enjoying because their team reached Number 1 position (from last) and one interesting thing is for every match Hyderabad Uppal stadium is full of fans and supporters, hoping that Deccan Charges will win but not a single win at home. Only two victories out of 14 in this tournament.

NSN Creations wishing Deccan Charges a hearthful "All the best for next year"

Climax of the IPL

No songs in the end but only action in the Climax of DLF Indian Premier League. Some producers like Preety Zinta started counting money, Rajastan Royals made themselves comfortable place in semi finals and Kings XI slow and study reached Semi's.

.
And in other side cover confidence people, very strong and people's choice teams like Hyderabad Deccan Charges and Bangalore Royal Challengers reached bottom table strongly and Kolkata Rnight Riders too joined after inconsistency performance. And Shah Ruck Khan proved he is only Star in Films

And NOW the BIG ACTION, i am not taking about Harbhajan singh and Sreesanth or Ganguly and Shane warne but for the third and fourth positions of Semi fanalists and strongly running the race of total three teams.

.

Delhi Daredevils: After losing with King XI in D/L method and again unlucky came like rain and shared one point each with Kolkata Rnight Riders, every body thinking they are almost out but because of Chennai Super Kings bad performance twice and beating Mumbai Indian, Delhi Daredevils keep their Semi-Final hopes alive. My opinion Delhi Daredevils standing out of dangers place.

Chennai Super: Team started with high performance but after Australia and Newzealand players exit, team become week and other teams taken the advantage, as the result Super kings reach the dangers position in the point table. Now they must win the last match with Deccan Chargers weakest team in IPL. My opinion Super Kings having good chance to reach Semi Finals.

Mumbai Indians: Highest bid Team started losing three matches and hopes of Mumbai indian to reach Semi finals are out that stage but suddenly Harbhajan's bane and Pollack leaded the team with three victories and Sachin added with two more vitories and became strong contender for semis but over confidence/ unlucky even jaya suriya's good batting they lose two matches with very less margins. Now they must need to win their last two matches against both Royals (Rajastan and Bangalore Royal) My opinion Mumbai Indian reached very dangers place, only magic can save them. That's the reason Sachin is not in practice ground but in temple.

Is IPL a 'serial killer'?

Television Rating Points (TRP) Top 10 are full of DLF IPL Matches only (SET MAX). The initial doubts about whether the DLF IPL tournament would be able to compete with prime time television soaps have been dispelled. The Target Rating Points (TRP) of IPL is much higher than the daily soaps. In its second week itself, IPL's TRP has soared up to 4.7, which is higher than the highest rated television soaps. If we were to take a look at the female target audience of 15 years and above and compared what they watched. Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi on Star Plus had a rating of 4.5, while another popular soap on Zee TV, Saat Phere, shows a rating of 4.6.

A lot of these women seem to have tuned in to watch the DLF IPL as seen by the TRP of 4.7. The TRP of IPL shoots up when the target audience shifts to men.

For men over 15 years, the ratings for IPL move up to 7.3, which is a dream figure for any daily soap.While other channels are struggling to retain the viewers, IPL broadcaster SET Max is cashing in on it. Its market share rose to 28.8% from a mere 5.7% just a few weeks ago.

It will also be interesting to watch how TV viewership ratings fluctuate over the next few days as Shah Rukh Khan's Kyya Aap Panchvi Pass se Tez Hai started with TRP 2.5 and all the new programs got postponed like Salman's DUS KA 10 and Indian idol.

A Look at the DLF IPL Trophy

The winner’s trophy for the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League was unveiled today by Lalit Modi in much fanfare. The trophy is apparently hand-made, and features diamond-encrusting. It has been designed by Orra, the diamond brand.
Oh, bugger. I’m just going to come out and say it: It looks silly. Looks like an India Map on a wooden board. It is probably something a 4th standard teacher would give a student who top-scored in geography. Its horrible. It certainly doesn’t look appealing, and the prominent DLF logo on top doesn’t help one bit.
And wait, it gets worse. The winning team isn’t going to get the trophy, but -get this- A REPLICA OF THE TROPHY!!! Now why the hell would you do that? It seems like some sponsor -probably DLF- paid for the trophy, but its too expensive with the silly diamonds to give away, so they’ll keep it for next year and give away a cheaper replica.

Hat-tricks of IPL T20 tournament

Indian formatted T20 tournament called Indian Premier League (IPL) is ongoing in India. Now IPL T20 has become a symbol of great enthusiasm is not only India but also all over the world. There are many records are been building in three. Sometime it is highest individual records, highest wicket taker, and most runs in an innings, most fours and more sixes too.

He gained those wickets from 3rd 4th and 5th ball. With the 3rd ball he sent back IK Pathan and 2nd to hunt the 3rd wicket of VRV Singh he had to delivered 5th ball of the over.


Amit Mishra, is one of the bowlers of Delhi Daredevils. He has written his name in the history of IPL T20 as a second Hat-tricks hunter. Similar Lakshmipathy Balaji the first hat-tricks owner, Amit Mishra acquire his hat-tricks in the 20th over but he got those wickets form the first three balls in a row. The batsmen who trapped were DB Ravi Teja, PP Ojha and RP Singh. Amit Mishra acquired 5 wickets form 17 and crowned as a man of the match.



The third Hat-trick was acquired by M Ntini, who is from South Africa and was playing on Chennai Super Kings. The team was leaded by MS Dhon who was auctioned with highest prize money. On 18 May at Eden Gardens stadium, Chennai Super Kings faced alongside Kolkata Knight Riders.
