The 2010 Player Auction for Indian Premier League was held on 19th January 2010 in Mumbai. 97 players from cricket playing countries other than India have registered for the auction. Merely registering, however, does not guarantee the player will be included in the auction list. The IPL will send the list of 97 names to the franchises who will then select those players they would like included in the auction. The selected players were informed of their inclusion by January 5.

A total number of 66 overseas players were included in the final auction list. West Indian all rounder Kieron Pollard and New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond were the highest bid players in the auction who were bought for $750,000 but not before their prices went in the silent tie breaker round. Kieron Pollard was bought by Mumbai Indians and Shane Bond by Kolkata Knight Riders. However, in the most surprising development, not a single Pakistan player was signed up by any of the franchises, although most of the players of the Twenty20 champions were up for auction.

The original list of 97 players, released on Saturday, was pared down to 96 after Chris Cairns' name was removed; the current list comprises players whom the franchises have specifically selected for the auction.

Chris Cairns, a former New Zealand international, was controversially omitted earlier in the week by IPL boss Lalit Modi amid comments alleging the former Black Cap's suspension from the rebel Indian Cricket League was due to match-fixing. Cairns has vehemently denied the references and is considering legal action.

51 of the players registered for the player auction were shortlisted. Controversially all of England's players were omitted. According to Lalit Modi, this is because of "new conditions imposed by the ECB". Nine English players will feature in the IPL auction on January 19 after league officials said a dispute over NOCs had been resolved. This takes to 60 the number of players who will be involved in the auction.

The auction list features players from Australia (11), South Africa (9), Sri Lanka (8), West Indies (8), Pakistan (7), New Zealand (4) and one each from Bangladesh, Canada, Holland and Zimbabwe.

Chennai Super Kings, owned by India Cements, managed to get the prized services of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the inaugural edition of IPL. Quite understandably, the Indian captain commanded the highest price at the player auctions - a whopping USD 1.5 million. Australia’s batting tour de force Matthew Hayden was roped in to give the batting a destructive edge - and he played his role to perfection in two successive seasons.

http://karthikhce.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/chennai_super_kings11.jpg

Stephen Fleming, who doubled as coach in the second season; the wily Muralitharan; batsman Suresh Raina; and all-rounder Albie Morkel helped Chennai reach the final but could not make it past Rajasthan Royals. When the second round of auctions took place, Andrew Flintoff joined as one of the highest-paid players. In the second season, Hayden scored prolifically while his team entered the semi-final, only to be pipped at the post by Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Royal Challengers Bangalore, like Deccan Chargers, had ended up at the bottom of the table in the inaugural edition of IPL. Both teams ended up meeting in the final of IPL 2009 in South Africa. Anil Kumble-led RCB with great heart, but was unable to win the title. Kumble's most impressive virtues as a cricketer - grit and determination - came to the fore in South Africa. The side lost four of their first five matches in IPL 2009, but made a startling comeback to make it to the semi-finals.

The team qualified for the CLT20 but could not qualify for the knock-out stage. The team has undergone a sea-change in terms of personnel and support staff from Season 2008 with new coach Ray Jennings making a huge impact. Regular captain Kevin Pietersen's participation is still debatable owing to an extended injury break. Their only buy at the 2010 auction was Englishman Eoin Morgan, but they also have in their ranks India's under-19 captain Ashok Menaria while Nathan Bracken has been bought out.

Sachin Tendulkar was named captain and icon player of Mumbai Indians, the highest-priced side, owned by the Reliance Group of Companies, ahead of the inaugural IPL. The team had some turbo-charged players like Jayasuriya, Shaun Pollock, Harbhajan and Malinga. The side, however, failed to deliver on its promise in the inaugural competition, despite some memorable performances like that of the young all-rounder Abhishek Nayar.

http://gallery.punjabijanta.com/d/2093-4/mumbai-indians-ipl10.jpg

The second season opened with two new names for the side - Zaheer Khan, who was brought in from RCB, and batsman Shikhar Dhawan from Delhi. JP Duminy, the South African powerhouse, was roped in, fresh from his success in Australia. But the side could not quite make it even this time round, bowing out of the competition before the semis. Kyle Mills and Ashraful have been bought out. At 2010 auction, they bagged the biggest player of them all Kieron Pollard at USD 750,000 after winning the silent tie-breaker. Harshal Patel from the U-19 side has also found a place in the side.

The reigning title-holders of the second edition of the IPL, Deccan Chargers had a fairytale second season. Plagued by poor performances, the team was placed at the bottom of the table at the end of IPL's opening season. But they scripted an incredible turnaround in the second edition, claiming the title. Much credit for their rags to riches story goes to their captain Adam Gilchrist.

http://gallery.punjabijanta.com/d/2081-4/hyderabad-deccan-chargers.jpg

His compatriot Darren Lehmann joined the team as coach for the second edition. Deccan's pace attack is led by the fiery Fidel Edwards and the steady RP Singh. They bought out Sri Lankans Nuwan Zoysa and Chamara Silva ahead of the third edition. To further strengthen their bowling, they picked up the much sought after West Indies fast bowler, Kemar Roach, for a staggering USD 720,000 at the 2010 auction. U-19 player Harmeet Singh was also picked for the coming tournament.

Delhi Daredevils, owned by GMR Industries, have a number of genuine match-winners in their squad. They boast of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir at the top of the order while wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik beefs up the middle-order. Tillakaratne Dilshan, along with AB de Villiers, has been a revelation in this format. Veteran Daniel Vettori adds depth to the squad. Daredevils made it to the semis in the first season.

http://www.iplcricket.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/delhi-daredevils-ipl-2010.jpg

In the second season, they rode high on the strength of Dirk Nannes' pace, topped the league, but again, lost in the semis. Gambhir has now stepped in as captain after Sehwag decided to step down. Dehi have bought out Oz legend Glenn McGrath before the third season. They picked up Wayne Parnell, the South African all-rounder for a whopping USD 610,000 at the 2010 auction. They also included the U-19 player Manan Sharma in their ranks.

When Shahrukh Khan - India's biggest movie star - co-purchased the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise, the nation couldn't help but feel an affinity with the side. And when Brendon McCullum stormed into the competition with a whirlwind 158*, it drew a collective gasp of admiration from fans of the sport across the world. If Sourav helmed the side, then there was John Buchanan who powered the think-tank. But the team could not live up to expectations.

http://www.orissadiary.com/admin1/images/allnewsimage/10191.jpg

In the second season, suggestions of a multiple-captain approach drew a lot of debate but as it turned out, McCullum ended up leading the side throughout. But the side's prospects did not improve. KKR ended the tournament pretty close to the bottom of the table. Ricky Ponting and Morne van Wyk have been bought out ahead of Season 2010, while Shane Bond has been bought at USD 750,000. U-19 player Harpreet Singh has also been picked for the tournament.

The team from India's princely state didn't quite command the kind of respect and interest that befits royalty. So when the Rajasthan Royals, led by Shane Warne, swept the opposition away and took home the first-ever IPL title, everyone was surprised. Sohail Tanvir and Shane Watson were the other big names that powered the side, but it was players like Swapnil Asnodkar and Ravindra Jadeja that shone.

http://sujeetkumaar.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/rajasthan-royals.jpg

IPL 2009 got underway with Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty and her then fiance Raj Kundra also joining the franchise as co-owners. Kaif was left out and Watson was unavailable. Tyron Henderson, who was roped in after a tug-of-war with KXIP, played just one game. Yusuf Pathan starred in a win over KKR in the only Super Over of the tournament. At the 2010 auction, Rajasthan bought two Australian players - Adam Voges and in a surprise move, the out of action Damien Martyn. The team had bought out Tyron Henderson, Robert Quiney and Mohd Kaif prior to the auction.

Kings XI Punjab have an aura of glamour and verve around them thanks to owners Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia. They boast the services of the flamboyant Yuvraj Singh and dependable Sangakkara; the destructive Irfan Pathan and experienced Jayawardene. So when the first edition of the IPL kicked off, the team from India's lion-hearted state were looked on with awe and admiration. But the side could not progress beyond the semi-final stage..

In 2009, the spectacular South African setting did little to embellish the team's chances - they bowed out before the semis, depleted by the absence of Brett Lee and Sreesanth at various stages. Left-arm paceman Yusuf Abdulla was one of the finds of the tournament and he has been retained for the third edition. Luke Pomersbach and Nuwan Kulasekara were bought our ahead of the 2010 auction while they picked former India batsman Mohammed Kaif who is expected to recreate the magic with Yuvraj Singh in the Punjab side under new captain Kumar Sangakkara.

Shahrukh invites people to coach his IPL team.

King Khan Shah Rukh has invited the people to coach his Kolkata Knight Riders team and send in their suggestions for improving its performance.

"When we used to lose, I used to get inundated with messages, mostly suggestions. I feel sad when we lose, but you have to take all those losses with little bit of ease and a little sense of humour and all those messages and emails, I used to keep them," he said at the launch of the Main Bhi Coach programme in association with Nokia India in Mumbai.

http://mrinkenti.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/srk_ipl.jpg

"Keeping in mind peoples' habit of giving suggestions, I decided with the team of Nokia that this time we will launch something which would be called Main Bhi Coach which would officially give everyone a chance to coach KKR and suggest what should we do for our team," he said.

Shah Rukh said people could messages to 9664555555, and all these would be discussed with the team and the coach to see if the ideas could help in improving the team.

Shah Rukh said he is quite positive about his team this season.

"It happens in sports...one team wins and the other loses. I doesn't mean that the team losing is lazy or it doesn't want to win or it is a bad team. When one team competes, it competes to win. I won't say that we didn't work hard. Maybe our decision of multiple captains was not right, we can find excuses but the bottom line is that we worked hard, we played very hard but not hard enough."

"We need to play harder, we need to play tougher and we need to win this," Shah Rukh said

[rajesh]

According to data provided by television ratings agency aMap, the match on SET Max clocked a 3.8 rating, which is same as that of IPL-1, implying that the number of viewers tuning in to see the match hasn’t increased since 2008.

Kolkata Knight Riders Captain Sourav Ganguly won the toss and elected to bowl first in their Indian Premier League match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.

[shefali]

Congrats Shahrukh and his team KKR for second victory. KKR rocks..

[swahil]

An strong all-round display from the Kolkata Knight Riders gave them to a seven-wicket victory over last year's runners-up the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League in Kolkata. This time KKR team is looking much more confident and fit.. :bravo::bravo:

[masterstroke]

foreign players are very happy with security in IPL3. Speaking about the security measures, Hussey said: "I've been in pretty close consultation with Chennai Super Kings. They're bending over backwards to get everything in place."

"So I'm pretty confident at this stage that I'll be more than happy to go."

"Fingers crossed. That is their number one priority, the safety of the players, so that has given me a lot of comfort really," he added.

[maria]

KKR is my favorite team. I am very happy with its performance in first two matches.. :bravo:

Delhi need to improve upon bowling, in last 2 matches they went for too many runs, Guati's injury is a big blow to its championship hope.

इंडियन प्रीमियर लीग (आईपीएल) के एक मुक़ाबले में कोलकाता नाइट राइडर्स ने डेक्कन चार्जर्स को 24 रनों से हरा दिया है.

इस जीत के हीरो रहे भारतीय टीम के पूर्व कप्तान सौरभ गांगुली.

दादा ने 88 रनों की शानदार पारी खेल कर पहले बैटिंग करने उतरी अपनी टीम का स्कोर बीस ओवर में 181 रन पहुँचाने में मदद की.

इसके जवाब में डेक्कन चार्जर्स की टीम पाँच विकेट पर 157 रन ही बना सकी.

This year, King XI is playing very poor cricket. They don't have any chance now. However, KKR has improved a lot. Full credit to Saurabh Ganguly, he is leading his team from the front. Mumbai Indians team has emerged as the prime contendor for the trophy. Here also, Sachin's rocking batting and good captaincy are doing the job.

Last night, Shane Warne proved why people still call him the best bowler. He took 4 wickets and helped Rajasthan Royals to defeat Deccan Chargers in a very close match.

KOLKATA Knight Riders (http://clicksports.tv/kolkata-knight-riders/)

Kolkata Knight Riders (often abbreviated as KKR) is the franchise representing Kolkata in the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 cricket tournament. Till IPL3, the team was led by Sourav Ganguly,who unfortunately remained unsold for the fourth season, and coached by Dav Whatmore. Sourav Ganguly is the team’s Icon Player. The official theme of the team is Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re (Bengali for We will do it, Fight for it, Win it) and the official colors are purple and gold. As per the recent study done by a UK based brand valuation company, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are ranked as the second most valuable franchise brand at US$46 million Celebrity co-owner Shahrukh Khan’s hard-selling of the KKR brand has counteracted the team’s poor on-field performance. They are the only team to have never made the semi-finals.
