Sourav Ganguly has won the toss and decided to bat first in the 48th match of the third edition of the IPL against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk in Chennai.
The Kolkata Knight Riders had a horrid time on the field when they dropped many catches on the field in their game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at Bangalore.
Sourav Ganguly was the first culprit, when he floored a sitter at the mid-off position off the bat of Jacques Kallis. Ganguly only managed to tip the ball over the bar.
This was followed by a brilliant running effort by Cheteshwar Pujara at the sweeper boundary, but despite getting a hand, he failed to catch the ball.
Soon, Ajit Agarkar also dropped one from S Sriram that went straight down his throat, but popped out of his hands. Captain Ganguly would have had a lot to say, but given that he had himself dropped a sitter, he preferred to keep quiet.
In the end, Ishant Sharma kept circling under a reverse sweep that Robin Uthappa played against Ajantha Mendis but could not get a hand to it at all.
All of it led to the side winning with almost three overs to spare!
The 43rd game of the tournament, and the second match of the Super Saturday, will see the Royal Challengers Bangalore host the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Mahela Jayawardene made a successful return to the IPL after missing the previous game with a century that came off only 55 balls.
Chris Gayle smacked 8 sixes in his his innings of 88 as Kolkata Knight Riders reached an imposing total of 157/2 in 15.4 overs against Kings XI Punjab.
Chris Gayle hit Ravi Bopara for four successive sixes in the 13th over of the game between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab. Bopara conceded 33 runs in the over.
A win here, a loss there and the entire points table looks so different. That has been how the tournament has progressed so far, but one can be rest assured that in case of Kings XI Punjab, it will take more than a win here or there.
Sourav Ganguly hit Pragyan Ojha for three successive sixes in the 17th over of the innings to propel the Kolkata Knight Riders score forward in their game against the Deccan Chargers. Ganguly was dismissed off the fourth ball while attempting another one, caught at the boundary.
