Irfan Pathan wins it through his batting!!

SRK doesn’t seem to be stopping sometime soon to be the epicenter of jokes and being ridiculed over social media for his constant endings on the wrong end.  Ra.One and Don2 were disasters on the box-office and he got bashed up quite a bit for it. Plus the slapgate with one of the failed directors and now the disastrous start to the campaign in 5th season of IPL.  He for sure won’t be in the mood to dance and hug everyone for the next win, whenever it comes.

Today was a game which KKR should have won, but Delhi had some other plans. And KKR folks had no answer to Morne Morkel’s magic. Even the resolute captain Gautam Gambhir couldn’t help the matters for the beleaguered franchisee.   4 for 31 and then 7 for 55 was a poor reading even if it was a 12 over game.  Yet they managed to reach decent 97 runs in 12 overs, which was never going to be enough with Sehwag in the other team.

But the guy is running short of confidence and is finding new ways to get out. And today it was a slower ball, he got out.  Sehwag is key man to DD’s fortunes and also in the upcoming home summer against Kiwis, Australia and of course England.

The star of the show was Irfan Pathan who came in at # 3 and took the game away from Kolkata at one stage when it seemed 35 from 20 balls and the overs were easing out pretty quickly.  3 sixes and 2 fours meant Irfan Pathan took DD to victorious line riding on his batting prowess rather than bowling. He just bowled one over and was hit for 2 boundaries in the same over.

Shahrukh Khan now needs to get back to a huddle with the team and find ways to win more games than losing and that would be the best way to remain in limelight rather than jumping like a mad in the dugout and been seen with mavericks like Didi Banerjee and ending up as  target of more Ra.One jokes.
