IPL5

IPL5 has started, with presumably much less interest than the earlier editions. (I know why my following has been reduced). But still have managed to catch a few glimpses of the games going on so far. A few random observations on the events so far.

• I get to see the retired fellows again. Rahul Dravid batting & Dada's captaincy are good  enough reasons  to follow IPL
• Is there a more "elegant" T20 batsman than Ajinkya Rahane? He is making even Dravid look a bit ugly. (Aside - Have declared Rahane as Dravid's successor in the Indian team)
• How does Rajasthan Royals put up such a fight with hardly any big names?
• How does KKR continue to find itself near to the bottom of the heap even after picking proven & effective T20 performers.
• Why Mumbai Indians wasting so many talented players in the reserves?
• West Indies cricket is the biggest loser in IPL

Just a few thoughts to open this season of IPL.
