43 and CSK still going
strong. My heart just didn’t stop thumping. Little disappointed but that ray of hope was
still there. 68 and I see Hussey moving
out of the ground. There was a bit of sparkle in my eyes.
A marvellous shot by Murli Vijay
and Ross Taylor takes an awesome catch. There I take a sigh of relief. Hang on! What is it? It was a SIX and not
out. Ross went beyond the boundary
line. A ‘thin’ layer of dashing hopes covers
my mind again.
Nevertheless, this big game
tonight is going to be one of its kind.
The dandy sixes by Vijay has made the CSK score running, with Vijay
still playing on 84. “He writes his own
script” displays on the board for Vijay.
Completing his century, Vijay steals the show.
With a target of 223, M.
Jayawardene and D. Warner opens the batting for Delhi Daredevils(DD). Although, I was expecting Viru on the
‘frontfoot’.
Warner disappointed and so am
I. Although the ball was travelling like
a bullet, he goes on 17 making only 3 runs.
And guess what? The catch was
taken by none other than but the man whose stars are shining bright tonight.
Yes! M. Vijay.
Viru comes and that slight ray of
hope is awoken once more. Gosh! What is
this? Viru is moving out with only 1 run
in his pocket. Now that is something not
expected out of this “Dilli ka Munda’. “Come
on Dilli, Ruk kyo Gaye?”
Please Jayawardene, my eyes are
on you now. As I put my hands together
for Ross, he has hit two sixes in a row already. Yippie! Happy I am.
My son in the mean time shows his
urge to change the channel as he firmly believes that DD is going to lose
tonight. A bit of scolding by me and
there he sits quietly on the sofa
watching the game with disinterest.
This heroic team has given ‘us’
(DD), ‘us’ because I support DD, a big total to chase but I feel these ‘Munday
Dilli Ke’ will play on the ‘frontfoot’.
At this moment I remember the theme song of DD. One of the line is “Ghoomayenge balla aur
urayenge hosh sab ke’.
S.Rana was ecstatic as he takes
the catch and makes Ross move out of the ground. D. Bravo, dancing in the middle of the ground
after making A. Russels move out. I
laughed watching him dance while talking to my mother in law who was having her
dinner, relishing the ‘Pulao’ I made hastily.
Hastily because, I went into the kitchen the moment CSK ceased batting,
not wanting to miss DD’s batting.
Now I am highly saddened, because
DD will lose the game. Only a miracle
can now lead DD to the finals. With a
very heavy heart, I see wickets falling down super soon. GAME OVER! Dhoni takes CSK to the finals for
the fourth time.
Curtains drawn for Delhi
Daredevils. As I write this piece of
mine on CSKvsDD, I hear my son shouting, “Yay! DD lost”. Busy with my writing, I ignored him as if I didn’t
want to hear the defeat of DD. The journey for DD ends here.
Whatever it is, “Sadde Munday
Dilli de” played really well throughtout.
Now let us see Chitti vs Ra.one(G.One) on 27th May i.e. CSK
vs KKR. Any guesses? Who out of the two
will kiss the trophy and wear the crown of victory of IPL 2012?
