King's XI snatch victory from jaws of Mumbai Indians

My first reaction of this match was "awesome'.It was the best match in the IPL so far.It had all the ingredients of a cracker match.It was nerve werkling,nail biting and finally in the end it was decided at the last ball when Mumbai Indians needed 2 runs of 1 ball and King's XI won it thanks to Yuvraj Singh.

Firstly good show by King's XI batsmens particularly Shaun Marsh,impressive again with his batting.Good show by Mumbai Indians bowler particularly Shaun Pollock.One person who stood above the rest in this match was Sachin Tendulkar.He found his touch at the right stage of this tournament and what a performance he gave.Just lifted the whole innigins with his sheer class of batting.

He could have single handledy taken away this match not for the run out that happened at the crucial stage of the match.His 65 runs was the crucial runs in the match.Siddharth Chitnis-hats off to this guy who smashed 6 and 4 in the last over to take this game at the nail biting finish.

Robin Uthappa once again dissapointing performance from him.Dude get your hair style straight.Sorry to say this but he has put on lot of weight and needs to lose it fast if he wants to play for his country again.

One interesting point in this match is the capitancy of Yuvraj Singh.No doubt he made some good changes in th crucial point of time in the game but his leadership qualities lacks very much.He doesnt motivate his teammates when they are needed to and that has reflected in this game also.It is other way that his team has won the game but man if u wanna win in semis and finals and you should better get your leadership qualities right!

All in all great game but dissapointing that Mumbai Indians lost but as they say better luck next time.
