Right, we have got this rumour from someone who claims to be in the know that Nokia is all ready to purchase Shah Rukh Khan’s stake in the Kolkata Knight Riders. There’s, however, a catch. There always is. Nokia wants an assurance that future editions of the IPL will be hosted either in India or [...]

Kolkata Knight Riders found themselves on the losing side yet again, when they went down by fivc wickets to Royal Challengers Bangalore, in a match that both teams determined to lose. If that sounds like too harsh a judgement, then consider the facts. Batting first, the Knight Riders lost McCullum first ball to (of all [...]

I am not necessarily a fan of slambang cricket but when Mr. Sachin Tendulkar gives us a masterclass in it, who’s complaining! The little master’s innings of 68 at the top of the order against the Kolkata Knightriders was pure joy to watch simply because it had a little bit of everything. We saw some [...]

Kolkota Knight Riders suffered an embarrassing 92 run defeat in their match against the Mumbai Indians. Set a stiff target of 188, the Kolkota side resisted for a while before crumbling  pitifully to 95-9, with one player unable to bat. It was a shambolic display but one which has tended to be the trademark of this [...]

The dust has settled on the super over sensation a day or so ago between the Rajasthan Royals and the Kolkata Knight Riders and while the debate on whether the result was a fair one or not and the means used to settle a match in which the scores finished equal will go on for [...]

What is wrong with a tie? Ask Lalit Modi. For one of the best 2020 matches you could ever hope to see was forcibly settled through what could only be called high farce. Forty overs of amazing cricket was decided by the teams scoring as many as they could off a “super over” each bowled [...]

A burly 42 in the beginning by Yusuf Pathan, complemented by sober twenties from Jadeja and Mascarenhas, and topped off with a hectic 18 off the last over of the innings has enabled Rajasthan Royals to reach 150 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Some might think that that’s not enough, given what happened earlier today [...]

It is turning out to be a really strange second season for the IPL. For the second time in three days, a match was decided by Messrs. Duckworth and Lewis as rain stopped play. Chasing a competitive 158-6 by Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders were going well at 79-1 in the tenth over [...]

Media can now focus its undivided attention on IPL as the marathon New Zealand tour is over and there are no more speculations required on how the pitches are going to be. We’ll soon see TV channels resort to desperate measures as they grab a thirty second slice of information and stretch it into a [...]

Dev Anand and Sean Connery can get up, close and personal with Zeenat Aman and Catherine Zeta Jones forever.  Even when any remaining hair growth is all grey and the ridges on the face make for a perfect obstacle course. Even if they cannot perform (I am not suggesting anything conclusive here) show biz allows [...]

We know by now that coach John Buchanan has announced a decision to field up to five captains during IPL season 2. Sourav Ganguly would be given the baton for only a few matches.
But a news flash on Rediff.com today announced Ganguly being dropped as captain altogether. It was just a headline on the home [...]
