ICC T20 WC 2010

After a big thrilling season of IPL, another battle has finally started which is even bigger than IPL. It’s 3rd T20 World Cup. Pakistan, who has lost many of their talented players in the past will be defending their title this year.

This year, it will be very tight since there are many teams in form. Each country has their own stars, Pollard & Gayle for West Indies, Malinga, Dilshan & Sangakara for Sri Lanka, Taylor, Brendon and Bond for New Zealand and many. Even Bangladesh with their star captain Sakib seems to be a surprising package. Another unpredictable team in Ireland.

The tournament has started with a bang in West Indies and it will surely result as a big BANG!

April 5th 2010, the legendary Shane Warne has done the magic again. In the match against Deccan Chargers in IPL 2010, Shane has turned a match on his own .Before 16th over, who could have predicted that Rajasthan can still win the match? I’ll say Shane Warne because he has not only taken 4 wickets but has also generated confidence in Sid Trivedi so that he can also create some magic in the last over of the match.

Rajasthan is back once again in the table and who knows, they can rewrite the 2008 story?
