Chal Chale with Indian Carnival....!

The Great Indian Carnival is back once again with lots of new things apart from the controversies that actually tore the faith of Indian cum global audience last time. The carnival ‘aka’ IPL 8 is starting from 8^th April 2015 onwards till 24^th May 2015.

I must say, the World Cup events can only match up the spirit of The Indian Premier League; you love it or hate it. But for sure you can’t ignore it. Even I was told that how my friend’s grand mom was querying about her favourite team’s performance during last summer. And for sure, it’s not the first instance when I heard stories like that. Even girls (generally don’t find interest in the game of bat & ball ‘known as’ cricket) like this tournament a lot, we can experience it through their sheer presence in stadium with painted face to show support for their favourite teams.

However let’s talk about the changes in team combination from last year. We won’t see players like Jayawardane, Sangakkara, Hales, Pujara, Samuels, Parnell, Dilshan, Munaf patel, Ajantha Mendis, Venugpal rao, David Hussey, Rampaul, Hodge, Bollinger, RP Singh, Jogindar Sharma, Ashok Maneria, Manpreet Juneja, & many more international stars, who have not been bought by any of the franchisee.

Let’s see some important changes in team line ups too, with reference to internal transfer as well IPL auction such as:

Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan (now DD, earlier RCB), Dinesh Karthik (now RCB, earlier DD), Parthiv Patel ( RCB to MI), Micheal Hussey (MI to CSK), Sammy (Sunrisers to RCB), Praveen kumar (MI to SRH), KP (DD to SRH), Irfan pathan (SRH to CSK) & many more players.

Let’s see, any changes in Team Coaches, if any :

Ricky Ponting: MI (Replaced John Wright). Rest are fine with their trusted warriors & tuning their new team with the help of them.

Now we must see, who all are captain which franchisee:

1. CSK: MS Dhoni
2. KKR: Gautam Gambhir
3. DD: JP Duiminy (Replace KP)
4. KXIP: George Bailey
5. MI: Rohit Sharma
6. RCB: Virat Kohli
7. Rajasthan Royals: Shane Watson
8. SRH: David Warner (Replaced Darren Sammy)

Now, we must see who all opted out of IPL 8. Kevin Peterson is the only person, who mutually left SRH this season to pursue his career in international cricket with England. Michael Starc is also unavailable for 2-3 weeks for RCB due to injury, which is a big setback for them as this guy just won the man of the series in CWC15.

So, what are we waiting for... Chal Chale with Indian Carnival....
