War-on-Field seems more important than the Telly-War

With T20 matches becoming the most popular form of cricket, now every cricket fan is interested in knowing cricket live score of matches. While the ongoing matches are luring fans the controversies among media channels over broadcasting rights of IPL6 also seems to lighten up. Sony Entertainment Television (SET) being the official broadcaster of IPL is upset by BCCI’s decision for making Star associate sponsor for T20 sixth season. This “Telly-War” has created a storm among broadcast circles. With this 60 crore deal Star India became the third associate sponsor of the IPL after Vodafone and Yes Bank. The title sponsor of the high profile T20 competition is still hold by Pepsi. Apart from this “Telly-war” let us move onto a more live war that is happenings on field. Recent match between Chennai Super Kings(CSK) and Delhi Daredevils(DD) was more of a fight for DD team and an enjoyment session for CSK. Delhi Daredevils slipped to their sixth defeat in-a-row in IPL6 when they were thrashed by 86 runs at the Ferozshah Kotla by Chennai Super Kings on Thursday. The team seems to have lose control over their overall performance in batting, fielding and bowling. Crumbling on a score of just 83 runs having a strong batting line-up defines the low motivation among players for winning. The CSK skipper MS Dhoni and “Mr. Dependable” Mike Hussey powered Chennai to a sizeable total of 170 runs in 20 overs. Hussey carried his bat through the innings with a well-crafted 50-ball 66, which was laced with six fours and two sixes, while Suresh Raina (30) contributed up front as the CSK top-order entertained the packed crowd at the Feroze Shah Kotla Stadium. Later on in innings of Delhi Daredevils an early break through was provided by pacer Mohit Sharma as he bowled out David Warner and then trapped Manprit Juneja LBW in the second over to leave Delhi stumble at 13/2. Virender Sehwag at a later stage scoring just 17 runs became the third victim of Mohit Sharma. The top scorer of DD innings was played by the wicket-keeper Kedhar Jadav of 31 runs. Losing consecutive matches in IPL6  has put Delhi Daredevils on a surge of getting out from this IPL season.
