It was an incredible performance from DC. When they only made 145 after threatening to smash their way with Symonds I thought it was all over. The fairy tale 4 match run that led them this far was going to end. But RS came up with all the goods. Something seemed to have happened before they began the winning streak. From being a totally disinterested unit they became an unit to reckon with. Must be something to do with the skipper that just sticks on to the players. But it was disappointing to see Gilly come up with another failure. But just like in the 2007 WC, let us hope he delivers when it matters most. With CSK (the arch rival remember) almost looking like the team that they will face in the semis, it is an additional bonus to go for the kill. And as irony would have it, the semifinal will now be played in DC's pseudo home ground. And we all know that the Navi Mumbai crowd will be rooting for Dhoni, Raina and co! I wish that DC can prove why the DYP Stadium is called its home come the semis and the final! Fingers crossed!!
Meanwhile, its a tight rope walk for KKR today. They need to win by a margin off 188 runs to get 3rd spot or 174 runs to get 4th spot. Almost written off. But then cricket is a strange game. Anything can happen!!
