Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kings Live Score

I do not need to remind you that Indian Premier League has started today. In the opening match Kolkata Knight Riders had a convincing win over Bangalore Royal Challengers. Tomorrow, there will be two matches and in the first match Kings XI Punjab will play Chennai Super Kings. So, you can see that it is the battle of two kings. Now, all the people in Punjab and Mohali are looking at the match because the match will take place in Mohali. Of course, by TV channels, people from all over the world can watch the match live. So, for enjoying the match you do not have to be in Mohali. You can enjoy the match from anywhere in the world.

The two captains of the two teams are very famous for hard hitter. The captain of Chennai Super Kings is MS Dhoni who is the current captain of Indian ODI and Twenty20 team. On the other hand, Yuvraj Singh is the captain of Kings XI Punjab and he is the vice captain of Indian ODI team. So, you can see that this is the battle between two team mates. For Chennai Super Kings, it is an away match and for Kings XI Punjab, it is a home match.

The Hindu reported:

Swashbuckling left-hander and Mohali team captain Yuvraj Singh, who is also India's ODI vice captain, has already fired the first salvo, saying he and Dhoni may be great pals off the field "but there is no friendship on the field."

Yuvraj, who will try to cash-in on the home support to put pressure on the Dhoni-led team, said "we wants to win the game and have an upper hand in the competition."

Yuvraj Singh is the icon player of his team and Tom Moody is the coach of this team. The main strength will come from Mahela Jayawardene, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Kumar Sangakkara. These three batsmen are dangerous against any teams. As for bowlers, there is Brett Lee, Irfan Pathan and Sreesanth. So, you can see that Kings XI Punjab has a solid batting line up and they have some pretty impressive bowlers. I am really eagerly waiting to see Brett Lee bowling side by side with Irfan Pathan for the same team. Both Brett Lee and Irfan Pathan are dangerous and they can destroy any batting line up anywhere in the world.

Hindustantimes reported:

Yuvi has on his side Australian Brett Lee, one of the fastest bowlers in the world, the maverick S Sreesanth, the dependable Irfan Pathan and spinners Piyush Chawla and Romesh Powar.

On the batting front, Yuvraj - the icon player of the Mohali team co-owned by Bollywood actress Preity Zinta and her industrialist boyfriend Ness Wadia - will lead from the front with ample support from Sri Lankan strikers Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardane, Australian James Hopes and the ever-consistent local Punjab batsman Pankaj Dharmani.

But not only does the Chennai team have as many stars, Yuvraj and his gang will have to decode the thinking mind of Dhoni - India's T20 world cup winning captain.

The Chennai team is also full of talent. Kepler Wessels is the coach of this team and you know that Kepler Wessels is a very famous player of South Africa. Chennai Super Kings has some good players too. I have already talked about Dhoni. In the batting they have Mathew Hayden, Stephen Fleming, Jacob Oram. In bowling, they have Muttiah Muralitharan and Makhaya Ntini. Muralitharan can be a very dangerous bowler in Indian condition as you know that Indian pitches are more favorable to spinners.

The Hindu reported:

Chennai coach Kepler Wessels reiterated that the team had grown “as a unit” with each practice session but declined to name the likely composition of the team for the opener. The sides are well balanced but much depends on the composition of the playing XI. Since the rules stipulate a maximum of four overseas players and make it mandatory to include four under-22 players in the XI, it will be a huge challenge for the teams’ think-tank to arrive at a winning combination.

Today, the first match took place and both the teams have perhaps something to learn from the first match. In the first match we saw that the team batting first got some advantage. Of course, it was rather one sided match and I would like to show that it was a one man show. Brendon McCullum of New Zealand single handedly bagged the win for Kolkata Knight Riders. The other batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders failed to score any big score. Only Brendon McCullum could show the magic. On the other hand, no batsmen of Bangalore Royal Challengers could click. So, both Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings should learn something from this match. Fielding will be a key in the match. Both the matches have some superb batsmen. If you drop catches and give them some life line then their batsmen can really become dangerous tomorrow. Now, I am giving some live score websites.
