Whistle Podu or Duniya Hila Denge Hum - 2015 Qualifier 1



There has been a troll doing the rounds that IPL is a stage where all teams compete against each other to try & defeat Chennai Super Kings in the final. Why not to some extend this is true also. Chennai has been one of the most consistent team if all season of IPL. A captain who sets standards so high that each player of his & the opposition team only admires & praises. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is probably one of the biggest reason of IPL being such a big phenomenon since it's inception.
Dhoni's men are no less either. An opening pair of McCullum & Smith can send shivers down anyone's spine, Suresh Raina & Faf speaks volume when he wears the yellow jersey. Bravo, Ashwin, Jadeja are all weapons that Dhoni uses it smartly, Ashish Nehra has been the biggest turn around for them. It certainly is not easy to defeat them & it certainly won't for the Bollywood Boys today.

On the other hand Mumbai Indians have had roller coaster ride, in this case the roller has been moving only towards the sky. Mumbai Indians is more about their management leading the game than the captain himself. World Champion Ricky Ponting sure knows the trick how to get this one through & seal a place in the final. His experience is going to count here. Rohit Sharma needs to step up & score a big one tonight if he wants his team to step up. Parthiv Patel & Simmons have been batting well but Chennai on a big day would be tough to attack. Pollard, Ambati Raydu & Pandya all need to extract something out of the ordinary tonight. Malinga, Mclaghen & Bhajji need to get all their experience count today. Mumbai Indians def need to take advantage of the home crowd support as Mumbaikars cheers aloud as no one does, after all soul of Sachin lies in each one of them.

Whatever said & done, tonight's match is going to be a tough one with Chennai having an upper hand.

Whistle Podu or Duniya Hila Denge Hum, what are you going to cheer for?
