Why I love Team Rajasthan Royals!

Hi ,

I know It has been very long since I wrote anything on my blog. But this IPL is making me write again. I thank it for that. Hopefully I would countinue Posting new articles even after IPL.

My last post was about Why Kolkota Knight Riders can never win any game. Today I would like to write about a true team! Let me be clear I am do not suport Rajasthan Royals as such. I am a Mumbai Indian supporter. But I love when I see good game of cricket or when I see Masters at work like the last game of Mumbai Indian Vs Rajistan Royals.

I feel RR are the only true team in entire IPL. I bet if there is any close match against RR with anyother team in IPL. They are sure to come out as winners. We just saw that in last match. This team is so amazing that some time i cant have enough of this team. You would have seen their run to Finals and winning last IPL. This time too. You just cant rule out RR. Most of the credit goes to only one man. Shane Warne. He is one of the most amazing cricketer that world would every see. The Man thinks and lives Cricket. You would have heard this line number of time. And I would repeat it again here. He is a Captain that Austerila never had. I thank IPL and Rajasthan Royals for giving him this chance. 

See the way he manages his team. He goes to players who sometime dont know what he is talking to him but even then Is encouraged and always try to exel his abilities. We can see how much respect the team has for him. And he never disappoints his team. Time and again he always leads from front. People would argue who is the best Captain in IPL. Most of them I am sure would point out to MS Dhoni. But I think Shane Warne is far far more better captain than MS Dhoni. MS Dhoni has great players in his team. He gives them responsibilites and the work on it. But RR they dont have great players. Very few Big names. But when you see them play. Damn its refreshing. I remember my school days when we all came together to win Volley Ball Matches. I m sure its same for them.

After last match with Mumbai Indians this is what Rajasthan Royals Team Manager had to say.

The previous match between the two teams was washed out by rains and so, with Tendulkar again on the opposite side on Thursday, there was “no way to stop” Warne, who had his leg strapped up, says the Royals’ director of coaching Darren Berry.

“We — Jeremy (Snape), the physio, and I — warned Shane against playing the game. But with Tendulkar in their team, there was no way to stop him,” Berry said.

“His leg was strapped up but he said he was playing. And when he says he is playing, it doesn’t matter what we are saying,” he was quoted as saying by the official IPL website.

It’s not that he wants to prove anyone that he is one of the Greats Cricket will ever see. But It is pure passion for the game and the Idea to be challeged by someone who is just like him. A Fighter, A great Cricketer And A Legend.

I salute Sharne Warne. One of the Best Cricketers the world would see. And the way he is leading a bunch of young guys. If Mumbai Indians do not make it to Semi Finals. I would be there for Royals to cheer them. And to see this master at work.

And the Reason I love Rajasthan Royals!

1. Shane Warne.

Why Kolkata Knight Riders Cant Win!

KKR is same team like anyother team in IPL. They have got some great players. Who are very good when playing for their country! But why cant they perform as a team. 

Here are some of my reasons.

1. Because its Bengal!

2. Because its Owned by SRK. Which mean too much Show off nothing in content!!! Same like his movies. Actually exactly like his movies. They are all bull shit. No story. They Sell just because SRK is there in it. Same thing in IPL. They did not even get to Semi Finals but KKR got hightest Profit than any other team.

3. Saurav Ganguly. He might be getting good runs. But I think there is something Negative about him because he did not get Captaincy in IPL.

4. Lot of Ego and too many Big Names in their teams.

5. Team Coach, John Buchanan must resign. He not Innovative enoght for this format of Game. This was proved by Sharne Warne and Sachin with their Captaincy.

6. Team is all about Show off and no work. All they do is Advertisments. I think KKR has highest number of Ads being Aired on TV.

I would welcome any Comments.

BTW I am MI supporter!

The Dark Knight I know : Sachin Tendulkar

Hi

I know most of you all have seen Batman : The Dark Knight. If not close this blog watch the movie first. Amazing movie by the way. I like many dialogues in them. Now you must be wondering why I am relating The Dark Knight with Sachin Tendulkar. First Its a catch name, isn’t it ? For the other reason read on.

I happen to see a poll in NDTV when I was browsing news in my mobile. It said Sachin Play of for Records and now that pissed me off. I fail to understand the media and people who have this feeling. I completely fail. They pick up such topics just for TRPs. Just some days back I read an article in Mutiny.in where they where upset about Tata going to Gujarat. And you know what the name of the Topic was ? “Shame on you Ratan Tata.” I was dam pissed about that too. You want to become famous in Blogging world write something bad about great personality or something you will become. I left comments on that blog and happen to find out that, that guy was just pissed out of Modi and his Government. So He was angry that Tata went to Gujarat and why not any other place.

Anyway getting back to topic. I don’t understand. What does he have to prove to get another record ? You tell me. He has got all the money he wants. He is famous. Then why would he play? The answer is simple. He loves the Game. People just fail to understand that. Does he looks like he want more records? No way. 

I love his game and the person he is. Out of Conterversies all these years. You don’t see him with a new girl or drinking and hitting someone. No one has taken the burden he has for all this years. We expect too much of him. Always to score runs. Problem is we ask too much of him. 

For me he is like an artist. His Bat as a Brush and painting a beautiful picture with every runs he gets for India. I would love to say stories of him to my children. May be some new guy might be playing that time. My children would say “Dad he is the best.” I would say “No my dear, You have not seen God”. These players are mear followers. (Bit too much. But anyway I would say Sachin is the Best.)

He is a dark knight cause he take all on him. Evertime. If India fails to score the first thing we say is Sachin should have played more. Or He should have stayed till end. Or cause he did not score. Then we start blaming him. And if he scores and India wins. People discuss he is God. He can play for 5 years more and all the crap. One Moment you make him God the other you throw him out. 

I would like to quote this dialouge from The Dark Knight

Gordon: [visibly shaken, but respect clearly evident on his face] Because he’s the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now…[as Gordon continues, we see a wounded Batman running from the police and their dogs]…so we’ll hunt him…[Batman reaches the Batpod and rides off]…because he can take it…because he’s not a hero…[Batman is riding through the streets of Gotham on the Batpod]…he’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector…a Dark Knight.

And Our Dark Knight is Sachin. When we dont score we say all kind of things to him. And when he does we make him Demi-God. 

I say Leave him the way he is. He know best when to retire and when to not. Until that just enjoy his game and let him enjoy his.
