It was pleasing though to finish the group stages on a high in Jaipur with a really thumping win, writes Lasith Malinga in The Times Of India<\/strong>, adding that Sachin Tendulkar and Dwayne Smith batted superbly and ensured that we go into this next phase in a really good frame of mind. <\/p>\n

\u201cChennai might not have expected to qualify before Bangalore\u2019s final game against Hyderabad, but now they are here on a clean slate. The past is history. The truth is that we will be taking on a team with a great history in this tournament and they represent a big challenge,\u201d write Malinga, adding that
he has always enjoyed the knock-out stages of tournaments and Mumbai have the kind of players, who relish the big occasion and have a track record of delivering when it matters most. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile Javagal Srinath writes in Hindustan Times <\/strong>that Dale Steyn reiterated that even in a batsman\u2019s game, a class act can make a huge difference. \u201cHe was sensational against the RCB, a game the latter had to win to advance. RCB blew a glorious chance to make it to the knockout round for a fourth consecutive year. They were too dependent on Chris Gayle, and it didn\u2019t help them that stand-in skipper Virat Kohli didn\u2019t show the consistency expected of him. Saurabh Tiwary was disappointing, thus the expectations on Gayle and AB de Villiers multiplied hugely.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a report in The Hindu, <\/strong>former Pakistan captain and bowling coach of Kolkata Knight Riders, Wasim Akram on Tuesday slammed those criticising the Indian Premier League, saying that they were \u201cjealous\u201d of the cash-rich Twenty20 event’s success and should be \u201cignored\u201c.
\u201cIt is sad to see people protesting against IPL. These are jealous people and should be ignored. Let’s focus on the business end of the championship,\u201d Akram said.
The veteran of 104 Tests insisted that the Twenty20 tournament was a \u201cgreat advertisement for pure entertainment\u201c. Akram said that success makes many enemies and IPL was one glaring example of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
