Chennai Super Kings vs. Rajistan Royals
Venue: Dr. DY Patel Sports Academy, Mumbai
Rajistan Wins! Rajistan Ki Jeet!
Recap:
In what was a microcosm of an exciting inaugural season for the IPL, Rajistan defeated Chennai on the last ball of the last over. I would provide you with video of the final over but the IPL suddenly decided it was not cool to have it's videos on youtube. Instead here's a videographic recap complete with sexy Indian Man Voice Guy:
He's sounds so manly! Anyway, Shane Watson won Man of The Series while Yusuf Pathan won Man of the Match for collecting 3 wickets and abusing Chennai for 56 off of 39. Sohail Tanvir won the "purple cap" which is either an award for collecting the most wickets for the season (22) or the headgear of his costume in his new afterschool special role as Sohail the Syphillis monster. All in all, really a great time. We do wish we had done a better time covering the league, and hopefully the 3 readers we had enjoyed what we did. In our defense, the IPL website itself hasn't been updated in about 4 days so how about you back the eff up. We promise to do a better job next year. Congrats to the Rajistan Royals, your IPL champs. Phir Mil teh hain, break keh baad(next year).

Your Occasional IPL Update
You may think that posting this feature three days in a row may seem antithetical to the use of the world "occasional" in the title. But really, what over the last 2 weeks could have convinced you that we know what we're doing? High ho, High Ho, to the recap we go....now with videographic evidence!
Thursday, May 15th
Hyderabad at Delhi
Delhi win by 12 runs
A. Mishra 5 wickets for 17 runs, hat-trick
Leading by 14 runs going into the final over, Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag decided to put the game in the ever so silky fingers of Amit Mishra. And oh did young Amit come through. The leg spinner had himself a hat-trick on the first three balls of the over and gave up a measly two runs off the final three. The hat-trick was the second recorded in the inaugural season of the IPL, coming just 5 days after Lakshmipathy Balaji had his against Punjab, which I imagine, must feel like being the first guy to date Jessica Simpson post-Nick Lachey. An undoubtedly impressive accomplishment, but you know, not the same thing. Amit had 5 wickets in all for 17 runs. Game notes: Delhi - Ben Affleck (DNP-Coaches Decision).
Here's Amit's final over:

Your Occasional IPL Update
Of course the day after I change the name of this feature to ease pressure on myself, I actually find the time to post back to back days. I'm a unique, delicate flower, don't question my judgment. Aur yeh leh laalchi kaameene, yeh aye tere games....

Chennai at Mumbai
Mumbai wins by 9 Wickets
S. Jayasuriya 114 off 48 not out
I don't know if Sanath Jayasuriya is married, but if I were Mrs. Jayasuriya I would find it prudent to heed the advice (link extremely NSFW, but oh so worth it. Honestly don't click here if you want to have a productive day at work. You'll keep coming back. It's infectious! I can't recommend it enough.) of R&B superstar Riskay. Sanath got all sorts of filthy on the Chennai bowling attack knocking in 114 runs off of only 48 deliveries to help Mumbai to an easy victory. Super Kings bowler Albie Morkel got abused for 44 runs while irrefutable child spelling bee champion Chamara Kapugedera gave up 26 runs off just 5 balls. He was seen after the game filing the paperwork to officially change his name to "a stripper hoe named Diamond".

Your Occasional IPL Update
See? All it took was a slight change in the title of this feature and now I don't feel the pressure to constantly update. This new found freedom's kinda nice. I think I'm gonna go for that extra level of comfort and post shirtless. Oooh that's breezy. On to the games!
Saturday, May 10th
Punjab at Chennai
Chennai wins by 18 Runs
L. Balaji 5 for 24 including first hat-trick in IPL history
Chennai Super Kings fast-bowler and internationally renowned ladies man, Lakshmipathy Balaji made the girlies squeal with a sexy sexy outing. His 5 for 24 was the second best performance in this inaugural season of the IPL, best only by Sohail Tanvir's 6 for 24. Balaji's day included dismissals of Pathan, Chawla and VRV Singh in successions for the ever hat-trick in the history of the IPL. Although the loss undoubtedly hurt her feelings, Punjab co-owner somehow found the strength to remain adorable.
Sunday, May 11th
Kolkata at Hyderabad
Kolkata wins by 23 runs
S. Ganguly 91 runs off of 57 balls
Saurav Ganguly had 91 runs off of 57 balls while also collecting 2 wickets for 25 runs in an all-round performance reminiscent of Diane Lane's work in Unfaithful. For the record she managed to be regular hot, milfy hot, hot in a good actress type of way. Knight Riders co-owner Shahrukh Khan displayed his pleasure over the victory by eviscerating 4 pillows.
Delhi at Rajistan
Rajistan wins by 3 wickets
Shane Watson 74 off 40 balls
League leading Rajistan found a way to win another close game with 5 balls to spare. Man o' the match Shane Watson had 74 runs while also collecting 2 wickets for 29 runs. The Daredevils put up a good fight but the game served as a microcosm of the frustrating 4-4 season it's been for Delhi. Honestly, 4-4 is unacceptable for a team from the capital. Seriously Daredevils, where do you think this is? Dheradhun? Am I right or am I right people?

Bangalore at Punjab
Punjab Wins!!
Umm, the IPL website for some reason isn't providing me with details about this game so I will do what any responsible recapper would do. Speculate! I'm guessing Punjab hit a six on the last ball to cap an exciting game that ended at 350-351 in Punjab's favor. Co-owner Preity Zinta was charged with larceny of my dil.
Tuesday, May 13th
Delhi at Kolkata
Kolkata wins by 23 runs
Shoaib Akhtar, 4 for 11
Making his much anticipated debut, Knight Rider fast-bowler, and notorious malfeasant Shoaib Akhtar had an impressive day collecting 4 wickets while allowing 11 runs in only 3 overs of work. Akhtar, or "Shoabby" as he is referred to by many a romantically disorientated* youths in Peshawar, managed to live up to the hype created by his sudden expulsion by the Pakistani Cricket Board. And because I've made this a bit, here are your Shah Rukh Pillow Stats for the night: 2 from the thrill of victory. 3 for the heat generated by the Rawalpindi Express.
