Mr Amazing - Shrane Warne

I am a big fan of IPL Cricket.

Lets get the uncomfortable things out of the way - I support Kolkata Knight Riders for no reason other than the fact that I am Bengali. They have no chance of winning the tournament. They are weak on paper and weak on the field. I predict they will win 2-3 games and all of them will be because one player - Gayle, McCullum, Sourav or Mendis performing brilliantly. They will not play as a team.

KKR almost pulled it off against the holders Rajasthan Royals - who are the the exact opposite. The Royals play as a team. Anyone can be a star - everyone contributes - led by the amazing Shrane Warne.

I couldn't believe he gave the last over and the super over to Kamran Khan. And he delivered. Just before the over he had both his hands on Kamran's cheeks - egging him on, encouraging him. I remember thinking - boy that doesn't work. Well, I was wrong. He got Ganguly out and pushed it to a super over. Yusuf took care of that in 4 balls -  6 2 6 4

I give most of the credit to the amazing inspirational Warne.
