The 3 Musketeers

Both the matches played today produced interesting results. Last year’s champions were bowled out to the lowest score yet in IPL schedule. And in the first match, Mumbai Indians didn’t allow last year’s runners up, Chennai Superkings, to win their season opener.

In first match, Mumbai Indians managed a moderate score and also defended it. Sachin Tendulkar became the first one to score a half century in season 2 of IPL.

And in the second match, Royal Challengers Banglore, like last year, had a real bad start. But Rahuld Dravid once again proved that he can score runs when everyone else has put their anchor. And when RCs came to defend the small score, all the bowlers contributed. Especially Anil Kumble who took 5 wickets for 5 runs in 3.1 overs. Boy, just 5 months back he declared his retirement from National Cricket. Can’t believe that :-)

In all, the 3 Musketeers, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, made the first day memorable. Hope the show keeps on bringing such good news in coming 37 days.

And in sometime, the official opening ceremony will start. Hope it will be spectacular too!
