IPL 2 : reaching finals

The euphoria called IPL is reaching its pinnacle as (point) table is hot. There is still uncertainty about the seat reservations for semis. Yesterday, I got jolted to see Rajasthan Royals (RR) going down against Delhi Daredevils (DD). Being hardcore RR fan its very saddening. It was not that hard as proved by 11th batsman (Munaf Patel). If RR would have happen to win the match then plethora of combinations would have came to picture that we could see in the semis.
Now, hopes are on Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Deccan Chargers (DC) that at least one of them should lose their draw and RR should beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR, which seems quite evident given the performance level of the later). I am crossing my fingers that things go the same way :P
Right now, I am lounging while watching the game between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and KKR. CSK is not as potent as they seems to be with Matthew Hayden on their side. CSK is the only team which showed consistent performance across 2 IPL seasons. I wrote a blog last year when IPL’s inaugural season was about to take off. That snippet was about the investment gone into IPL. At that time I was not aware of new rage that will send temperatures soaring in and out the stadiums.
