Kings XI Punjab edged out Mumbai Indians by three runs in arguably one of the best matches in IPL history. Not too many people had been giving the Kings XI a chance after it had been restricted to a mere 119-8 in its twenty overs, against a disciplined Mumbai attack, spearheaded by the brilliant Maling [...]

I am not necessarily a fan of slambang cricket but when Mr. Sachin Tendulkar gives us a masterclass in it, who’s complaining!
