    Sangakkara faces some touch decisions
    Rakesh Rao
    MOHALI: Some defeats hurt more than others and Kings XI Punjab suffered the most painful of its four losses so far in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday night. The self-inflicted 31-run reverse against a struggling Rajasthan Royals left skipper Kumar Sangakkara taking a harder look at the casual manner in which some of the players have been performing so far.
    Yuvraj Singh, who was made to hand over the reins to Sangakkara at the start of the competition, has been the biggest disappointment for the team struggling with injuries, and the non-availability of some of its leading players.
    The talented left-hander may have put the finishing touches to Punjab's lone victory — in the Super Over against Chennai Super Kings — but continues to appear a pale shadow of himself.


    Treading cautiously

    Recovering from a torn ligament in his left wrist, Yuvraj is obviously careful not to aggravate the injury. But his circumspect ways, seen clearly against Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals, have cost the batsman and the team dearly.

    With the way he has been tossing away his wicket, the Punjab dressing room is obviously worried.
    On Wednesday, Sangakkara was asked if the loss of captaincy had anything to do with the almost disinterested ways of Yuvraj, the Sri Lankan firmly said that it was a question for the Indian to answer but added that some players in the team needed to perform with “responsibility” and “take pride” in what they do on the field.
    If Punjab intends to stay in contention for a place in the semifinals, it needs to win at least seven out of the remaining nine games. And, for that to happen, Sangakkara will have to take some tough decisions.
    With Shaun Marsh and Brett Lee available, Sangakkara will be tempted to induct them into the playing eleven. Ravi Bopara's good form means Marsh can only replace Mahela Jayawardene.
    Similarly, Lee can step in for Juan Theron, who has looked impressive in the two games he has played.
    In the pace department, Sangakkara is looking increasingly helpless, with S. Sreesanth, Irfan Pathan and Shalabh Srivastav repeatedly failing to bowl to their field.
    Sangakkara's men face Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday and only a disciplined performance will help them stay afloat.
    "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    That's what I find surprising. Dhoni had the guts to give a send off to Ganguly, but why he is lenient towards Yuvraj
    management techniques.. time paarthu vaari vidanum ippa yuvi kku support konjam irukkum selection level la
    as a batsman, yuvraaj>>> SG and Yuvraj is future whereas SG was the past..............Yuvraj is a match winner anywday whereas SG is known for dividing the team etc and Rahul dravid is no lesser who listens to SG and stops sachin's innings etc.......thats why Dhoni took them out.......

    Dhoni is just not a gutsy captain, he is a very oppurtunistic, smart man - he knows whom he wants, what he wants from them and when to dispose them off*..........even in BCCI team, there is a bit of unrest with yuvi and sehwag/gauti/ishant forming camps.......this is hampering BCCI a lot........

    *he has been struggling with that off late and thats why i feel Dhoni's time as captain is over - we need someone young and fresh.......Kohli

    No he is not! Is he a match winner now? i.e for KXI? How can you trust a guy with this kind of attitude?
