Royal Challengers of Bangalore

It is time to have a thread for last year's finalists, who look good enough to repeat that feat, although they might find it difficult to put it past Deccan this year, too, in the finals.

an achievement indeed for a team labelled as test specialists n the irony is the very players who were called "test specialists" turning out to be the matchwinners many a time for the team! talks a lot about the mental strength of the unit, not a surprising quality when u see that kumble, dravid, kallis form the core group of the team who epitomized the underlined word throughout their playing careers! no doubt, kicking out of saaru sarma too wud've helped!

notable mensons: ross taylor, robin uthappa, manish pandey, praveen kumar.

definitely amongst my favotite teams of ipl.
1. MI - coz GOD plays for MI!
2. CSK - MSD, MSD, n MSD! am getting fond of M Vijay too this season!
3. BRC - Dravid, Kumble, Kallis n one of my favorite cities in India (nostalgia)!

jinju, indeed. It is sad that Rahul Dravid, who was criticised and laughed at in 2008 for selecting the squad he did, isnt given the credit today - for it is his picks who are propelling RCB, barring an odd Uthappa, who was Mallya's personal pick in the second year.

DH, epdiyum CSK Deccan kitta thOkka pOgudhu - marubadiyum DC vs RCB finals. Just think of it - There will be more traffic in HUB for 3rd place play off than for the finals

Bangalore have an intimidating Batting line-up. Compare with Mumbai who look formidable - but only when Sachin fires. Take Sachin's wicket and the batsman perform KathakaLi. Mumbai's strengths hang on too thin a thread. Bangalore are 80-20 favourites, if not 90-10, the 10% chance only being Sachin's prowess
