Hi

We kept hearing this from everyone. IPL is going to tire the players for the world cup. Teams coming fresh to the world cup have got more chances and all the crap. Seeing the results of past few games. I think its just the opposite. IPL has prepared the players for the world cup.

See the players who are performing. Most of them have been in IPL. The way Indian side played their first match against Bangladesh I was star struck! They never looked tensed. Just before 15th Over. I started thinking we are going to loose our very first match. And then we saw Yuvi make it look so simple. Not for a moment he looked angry frusted. He looked calm cool. Each of his shots were no slogs. They were clean cut shorts. With 18 ball 41 run. I knew there was no stopping India. See the way New Zealand is playing now. We all know their team to play hard cricket. But I think IPL has certainly helped them a lot. South Africa is totally in command of their game. IPL II was a blessing for them. All their players are sharp and in Twenty20 mood. Yesterday performers in England team were also main players in IPL. This is a slap to all those who thought that IPL will make them weak for the world cup. 

I am looking forward to exciting World Twenty20. I pray we win again. India India India. India bole Ane De.
