Amit Mishra
DD leg-spinner Amit Mishra took 3 wickets and was declared as Man of the Match.
All I can say is, Delhi Daredevils are like “DEVILS on fire”, were Kolkata Knight Riders are like “RIDERS lost their way on ride”.
Despite this bad from KKR is the franchise with highest brand value.
yup i knw, n that’s only becoz of king khan SRK…
‘jahan’ SRK ‘wahan’ popularity…
its not abt Khan…..the hype was created and the brand was established….it was the worst thing done to this franchisee which is now seen in the performances of their players….
dude hype z created only coz of SRK, its nt worst thing, its so called business strategy…
When business wins, cricket loses. Cricket is a game not business, better SRK realizes this as early as possible.
dats absolutely true ……
sharurkh is a good bussiness man but a bad franchiser……
kkr was the onmly other team other than rajastan to be in profits… last year..!!!
@Padma
Rajasthan made profits because it won the IPL last year. KKR dint even qualify for the semi-finals, but how could they make profits?
It is because KKR and its franchisee only wants to make money, they dont want to play cricket or win matches. For them winning means profit!
winning matches without profits is also of no use….,in that case… rajastan invested less so could make profits.
ya padma dat’s right few ppl donno abt it…
