What. A game. Of cricket.
Pressure - the word which fits best into the last game of the league stage of IPL. A nicely set up game for the viewers, MI v/s RR now has turned out to be a game which will undoubtedly go down the memory lane for a million viewers. It saw the courage of MI chasing a mammoth target in a mere 14.3 overs. Whoever thought they would actually pull it off?
This game turned out to be an unbelievable one. What amazed me was the reaction of a million people who were elated by the win registered by MI. Not only the MI fans but also others were amazed by the task accomplished by MI.

When RR set up a total for the opposition, it looked as if RR had completely set a stage for their bowlers to defend this target in 14.3 overs. But what changed the course of the game was the intent with which MI chose to face this battle. They came with an optimistic mindset and continued to look undeterred throughout the chase. Not only this; the way Shane Watson let the game slip away from their hand also helped the defending champions.
The other thing that I noticed was the fact how MI used pressure. Pressure, which is normally termed as a negative aspect was completely converted to their benefit by MI. The defending champs absorbed the pressure and cruised over the victory line with ease. They worked towards the impossible and converted it into positive.

As for the virtual world of social networking sites, people were thrilled and amazed by the intent showed by MI. It didn’t matter that they were eliminated later by CSK, Mumbai had laid their mark on the IPL. Whatever happens, it would take something magical to overtake this moment for the highlight of the season.
Blimey, when Hrithik Roshan looked at the camera and said “Duniya hila denge hum”, he wasn’t joking, was he?
As of now each one of us awaits the FINALS to see this year’s winners. Till then, HAPPY IPL!
