Sachin Tendulkar (14th), VVS Laxman (16th) and Virender Sehwag (20th) are the other Indian batsmen inside the top-20.

Meanwhile, England, currently placed sixth on the table, will immediately move up one spot if it wins both the matches of its upcoming two-Test series against West Indies.

Victories at Lord's and again at Durham would earn England three ratings points giving it a total of 101, a single point ahead of Pakistan. A 1-0 series win would leave it on 100 ratings point but behind Younus Khan's team by a fraction.

However, a 2-0 win for the West Indies would leave just one ratings point separating the two with England dropping three points to 95 and the men from the Caribbean gaining five points to 94.Mumbai Indians went down to Bangalore Royal Challengers by nine wickets.

The Indians recovered from a shaky start thanks to half-centuries from Sanath Jayasuriya and Dwayne Bravo that saw them post 149 for four in their 20 overs.

In response, Jacques Kallis (69) and Robin Uthappa (66) helped Royal Challengers cruise to a nine-wicket victory with 11 balls to spare.

Pakistan are not used to playing against Australia and they are certainly not used to winning against them; this was only a second win in their last 12 ODIs (over nearly seven years) against them. Though not many in this team are scarred by that kind of record, they batted as if that history was firmly on their mind. If this was a weakened, transitional Australia, it was Australia nonetheless and Pakistan can happily point to an absent middle-order bearded wonder and an equally absent lanky fast bowling genius.

But with the added layers of what has happened to Pakistan cricket over the last two months, the broader fate that has befallen them over the last two years, and to a nation seeking cheer as desperately as Susan, it is as welcome as might be a water cooler in the Thar desert. The details don't matter as much as the bigger picture but they are worth noting, if only to sketch an outline over the rest of the series.

Bangalore team was won by Vijay Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid for a team in the IPL, next only to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries’ bid of $111.9 million for the Mumbai team.

Indian actresses Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif were signed as the brand ambassadors of the franchise.

Vijay Mallya wanted to associate one of his top-selling liquor brands, either ‘No. 1 McDowell’s’ or ‘Royal Challenge’ with the team. Ultimately, ‘Royal Challenge’ was chosen, and hence the team was given the name ‘Bangalore Royal Challengers’. The jersey colours of the team are red and golden yellow, and the logo consists of the RC emblem with ‘Bangalore Royal Challengers’ in standard format.

Right now the KKR team management is in a frenzy trying to locate this mole in their camp. Fingers are being pointed at a lot of players and members of non-playing staff.

The writer has cleverly hidden his identity by giving fake names and identities to his team mates while describing their antics.

He calls Sourav - Lordie, Ishant Sharma - Long John, Dildo - Shah Rukh Khan, Coachie - John Buchanan, phoren babas - coach and his team, Prince of Patiala - Yuvaraj, Babli - Preity, Big Sister - Shilpa Shetty, Bevdaas - Bangalore Royal Challengers, Meera Bhai - Harbhajan Singh, Appam - Sreesanth and so on.

Now, the question is who is the “fake IPL Player”? He sure is creating havoc in IPL season 2.

The panel, which has been probing national cricket affairs for a long time, last month called the current PCB management incompetent and recommended to president Asif Zardari, the board’s chief patron, that a new set-up should be appointed.

Soon afterwards, Pakistan senate’s standing committee on sports moved a resolution for an “immediate change” in the PCB management.

If Butt is found guilty of a breach of privilege, he would be asked to apologise.

Meanwhile, Imran said only drastic measures can put Pakistan cricket back on track.

Karachi, March 21 (IANS) Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has said the country’s senators should refrain from interfering in national cricket affairs.
Imran, now a politician, told reporters that senators have no business telling the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) what to do as they “don’t know anything about the sport”.

“The senators should do the job they are supposed to do and leave cricket alone,” said Imran.

A war of words has been going on between the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt and the Senate’s committee on sports in recent weeks.

Vijay Mallya, the owner of Bangalore Royal Challengers, has kept the captaincy options open. Minutes after picking up Kevin Pietersen at USD 1.55 million, Mallaya said he was happy with the price he got him at. "The captaincy options are open. The team management will take a decision on it." The Royal Challengers, who finished second last the previous year, were led by Rahul Dravid. On March 21, 2009 Vijay Mallya announced that Kevin Pietersen was replacing Rahul Dravid as the team captain for the 2009 season.The reason given was Dravid's absence in the league due to family related reasons.[13] However many suspect that the change in captaincy is the result of the poor performance of the team in the first season of the Indian Premier League.

Can Yuvraj and teammates give Kings XI Punjab owner Preity Zinta the IPL trophy she so desperately craves for?

A vividly disappointed Preity Zinta, one of the most involved team owners in the IPL, remains one of the most enduring photographs of the tournament's first edition.

Giving her players warm and affectionate hugs after every good performance, Zinta has done everything expected of her as a team owner. It is now on Yuvraj Singh and his teammates to give her the big prize-the IPL trophy.

Kings XI Punjab, given the talent pool available with them, start as the dark horses of the tournament. In Yuvraj Singh, they have the tournament's cleanest hitter and the only player to have hit six sixes in an over in T20 cricket.

His current form, perhaps the best he has played in his life, coupled with the fact that he will be leading the side may well make IPL season two Yuvraj Singh's tournament.

Will the champions have their day again, despite injuries and suffering the loss of Pakistani players?

The "Underdogs" certainly had its day in the first edition of the IPL. Led by one of the most charismatic men ever to have graced the cricket field, and having in its line up some of the best exponents of the T-20 game, Rajasthan Royals were certainly the surprise package of the IPL in its inaugural year.

While they have added much by way of star value to their line up this year, Shilpa Shetty as co-owner was indeed a pleasant surprise, and has already done her part in the much talked about music video she has shot for the Royals, on the field they have lost a bit of zip with key players suffering from injury. Pakistani players' not being permitted to play in the IPL has affected the Royals more than any other team. Sohail Tanvir, best bowler in IPL one, isn't available and his replacement, Shaun Tait, is also out injured. Shane Watson, one of the key players for the Royals in season one, is undergoing rehab and it is a million dollar guess if he will be fit to bowl at the start of the season. Greame Smith though, is back from injury and in home conditions will surely give the Royals the start they need. But as in season one, at the start of season two the Royals look heavily reliant on the brilliance of Yousuf Pathan and skipper Shane Warne.

King's XI Punjab - Indian Premier League

In comparison to the last season, King's XI Punjab are set to put up a better show in the second season of the DLF Indian Premier League in South Africa. Capained by Yuvraj Singh, this franchise is owned jointly by Preity Zinta, Ness Wadia, Karan Paul and Mohit Burman. The Kings XI team boasts of an impressive line-up in the form of seasoned players like captain Yuvraj Singh, Mahela Jayawardene, Simon Katich, Irfan Pathan, Kumar Sangakkara and Brett Lee. Upcoming stars include Uday Kaul, Ryan Ninan and Yash Gandhi.

Squad
Shane Warne, Graeme Smith, Robert Quiney, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, Niraj Patel, Swapnil Asnodkar, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Salunkhe, Raiphi Gomez, Naman Ojha, Shane Watson, Tyron Henderson, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Lee Carseldine, Morné Morkel, Shane Harwood, Shaun Tait, Munaf Patel, Siddharth Trivedi, Kamran Khan, Anup Revandkar, Sumeet Khatri.

During a recent interview with Mark Nicholas, Royals captain Shane Warne sheepishly admitted to not having touched a cricket ball or bat since his team won the inaugural IPL last June. However, few would expect this to have any effect on the legendary leg-spinner's leadership skills, or indeed any other aspect of his game

It's impossible to get away from Warne's influence on the team. The continuity resulting from having a player of his stature in charge of all on-field affairs will, once again, be a massive advantage for the Royals.

Matthew Hayden was absoutely brilliant.After watching him play, I thought that we were lucky that that he was on our side.Other players are good too - Hussey, McCullum have made tons.But the sheer innovation of Hayden left me amazed.Who else could reverse sweep Shaun Pollock (If I am not mistaken) for four.Even Sachin was impressed.And what about that cheeky shovel??? Mind blowing.

Raina is fast developing into an extremely valuable player.The way he matched Hayden shot for shot was absoultely brilliant.Dhoni too did not disappoint in the end.

But what I was disappointed about was the poor show by Parthiv Patel.I feel that the cap on no. of foreign players has reduced the quality of the cricket.Surely Fleming could do better than Parthiv.

I did not see our bowling for two reasons -

1. I was sure that we would win with 208 on the board and Mumbai without Sachin

2. I don't like to see bowling

Contrary to my expectation, Mumbai Indians gave us quite a close call.Sanath Jayasuriya was expected to cause some trouble, but Uthappa and Bhajji added to it.All said and done, we managed to win, and that's the only thing that counts.

The Hindu reports that Goni was responsible for restricting the run-scoring of the Mumbai Indians.All I can say is well done, we need more like you m'boy.

Chennai Super Kings vs Bangalore Royal Challengers Live streaming

Chennai Super Kings have started the much feared downward slide.Not coincidentally, the slide has come after Hayden and Hussey left our team to play for Australia.I don't think anyone could have imagined how disastrous it was going to be.Chennai Super Kings seem to be greatly weakened and we have lost the chance to dominate the IPL.

Of course, a win in the next match will make me eat my words about the momentum and all.Who knows, these two losses may be the only ones for CSK this season.Twenty20 seems to be the bane of any cricket analyst,and for an amateur like me,predicting results is a nightmare.

Squad: Virender Sehwg (captain & ICON), Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Ashish Nehra, Amit Mishra, Aavishkar Salvi, Manoj Tiwary, Mithun Manhas, Pradeep Sangwan, Rajat Bhatia, Tejashwi Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Vijaykumar Yo Mahesh, Yogesh Nagar, Paul Collingwood, Farveez Maharoof, Andrew McDonald, Glenn McGrath, Owais Shah, Dirk Nannes, Tilakratne Dilshan, David Warner, AB de Villiers, Daniel Vettori.

Analysis: One look, last year, at the squad of the DareDevils from Delhi showed that they did not really have a well balanced team. Instead, they had some really good players who are well known exponents in their respective arts. In Sehwag and Gambhir, they boast of two very fine batsmen at the top of the order and some equally gifted bowlers in McGrath and Maharoof who could strangle any batting line-up at any given time. What they lacked was a backbone in the team, a sure shot match winner at number five or six, who would help the chase down targets, and even build the innings depending on a good or bad start to the innings. That was to prove their major failing when they were eventually knocked off their perch in the semis last time around.

And the Chennai Super Kings versus Mumbai Indians match will be the first one to kick off the season of IPL 2009. I love to see Laxmipathy Balaji coming to bowl after a long back. With Jacob Oram and Muttiah Muralidaran the bowling looks strong and there are many big wigs to give same strength to their batting.

In the MI team we have Zaheer Khan, Dilhara Fernando, Kyle Mills and Harbhajan Singh to scare the opposition and there are a few batsmen to scare with their willows; Sanath will be my favorite. The Twenty20 format of the IPL tournament instantly became popular with cricket fans across the world with loads of excitement.
