Finishing as the second best in the finals..
Hey!! Royal challenger Fans this Is RISHABH, writing up for the first time.
Royal challengers, as we all know were nowhere near their best in the first edition of IPL as they ended up at no. 7, and we regret that too. Reasons might be lack of team coordination, some bad luck and some bad show by the players.
But during the second edition of IPL, “ROYAL CHALENGERS BANGALORE” set up a Royal Challenge in front of their oppositions. Their intentions were quite clear right from the beginning when they bundled out previous year champions Rajasthan Royals for just 58 odd runs, and JUMBO finishing it off at 5/5 in the very first match. Although they had a tough time under KP, but once JUMBO took over, they were a different and a motivated side, Had a bunch of victories, altogether which help them moving towards the top of the table. And finally with the Blustering hundred from young Manish Pandey, we were into the Finals. In the finals too RCB as being in the prime form, was dominating it, unless we were 6 down for 99, and KOHLI was back in the pavilion as 6th wicket. But In the end we ended the edition as the runners up (2). Moved up 5 places, but needed to move 6 to be number 1. By the end of that Final we Lost It by the same, 6 Runs.
And now when we were into the finals Of ‘RANJI TROPHY’ against 38 times champion MUMBAI we lost it by the same Margin, guess what? 6 RUNS and the tally of KARNATAKA’S ranji trophy wins remain at 6. Now is that a coincidence or what??
SO WHAT WENT WRONG? I don’t know...But something does, and would like to hear it from you all RCB fans. About this mysterious no. 6 as well as my article. Hope you all would like it.
Actually when I started writing this article, I wanted to write it in context of reasons to be found for getting down in the finals; As Indian team is suffering from the same problem. From last 6 years i.e. 2003 World Cup. I Hope JUMBO positively will be having some good and effective plans to get through this demanding concern, this year.
Cheers, RISHABH.
