IPL 2009

There was a big question mark over the start of the IPL Season 2, when the dates had clashed with the General Elections in India. Finally, the IPL was shifted out of India to South Africa. This was a great news for the cricket fans. One can clearly see the excitement all across India with the IPL fever at its peak.

As we move into the sixth day of IPL matches in South Africa, what started as a possible rain marred tournament is now slowly but surely catching up to all the excitement associated with the Twenty20 format of cricket. We have already witnessed some exciting matches so far, with a great crowd attendance in the grounds of South Africa. In India, there is amazing buzz all across and people are glued to their television sets to catch up with the latest on the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2009.

We caught up with an exciting television byte during the live telecast of the IPL match yesterday. The local kids at the venue were picking their favorite teams out of the 8 teams participating in this years tournament. It was sheer joy to witness the excitement of the local crowd as they struggled taking the names of their favorite IPL teams.

With so much of talent on display at a single tournament we couldn't help but decide on our favorite IPL team.

So we ask: Which is your favorite IPL Team and why?
