After some great entertaining Twenty20 cricket, the Indian Premier League is finally down to two semi-finals and one grand final. The Delhi Daredevils managed to squeeze into the semi-finals. They still have to face the Rajashtan Royals in the semi-final match this Friday. Rajashtan Royals, the most inexpensive team, has managed to put up a great performance throughout the tournament. The second semi-final match will see the Chennai Superkings battle it out with the Kings XI Punjab team this Saturday. The Kings XI Punjab have also managed to put up an unexpectedly great performance during the Indian Premier League. The semi-finals would definitely be worth the excitement.

The final is on 1st June. The exams have somehow always managed to spoil my cricket mood since childhood. Be it the World Cup or the nail biting India-Pakistan cricket series and now even the Indian Premier League. I am sure that those who’re responsible for setting exam dates surely hate Cricket.
The much awaited Indian Premier League kicked off last night with a spectacular match between the Kolkota Knight Riders and the Bangalore Royal Challengers. The Knight Riders kicked some real butt last night. The cheerleaders, the music, the atmosphere, the players, the sixes, all added to the excitement IPL offers. But somewhere in a dingy office in Delhi a popular political leader wasn’t really happy with the way things were. So he decided to call his mom.

Sonia: Yes mera chunnu?!
Rahul: Momma…are you watching TV?
Sonia: Beta chunnu…I have a nation to run here.
Rahul: But that is PM’s job momma!
Sonia: So…?
Rahul: Oh…got it got it! Look momma I have a real problem this time.
Sonia: Beta we’ll crown you the PM soon, don’t worry.
Rahul: No momma it’s about this Indian Premier League.
Sonia: Oh! I told them to call it Rahul Gandhi Indian Premier League. Damn those morons are so rich they won’t take any money.
Rahul: No momma. They didn’t let me have my own team. And they have these almost naked cheerleaders and…
Sonia: Beta you could have your own team. Heard about that fantasy cricket thing?! And don’t stare at any naked chick.
Rahul: No momma…no momma…I want my own team!
Sonia: Beta I have to go now. Go get some ice-cream and lick.
Rahul: Momma…they didn’t even invite me for a match.
Rahul: Momma….momma you there…?!
Rahul: Mommmmmmmaaaaaa…… [starts crying]
