TWO DEBUTANTS in the Indian Premier League 2011, Pune Warriors and Kochi Tuskers Kerala, will face off in the tenth match of the IPL 4 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, April 13.
Pune Warriors (PW) is led by man-of-the-tournament in the Cricket World Cup 2011, Yuvraj Singh, and Kochi Tuskers Kerala's (KTK) command is in the hands of Mahela Jayawardene, under whose captaincy Sri Lanka reached the final of 2007 Cricket World Cup.
Pune Warriors started its IPL 4 campaign with a glorious victory against Kings XI Punjab by seven wickets on Sunday April 10, whereas Kochi Tuskers Kerala started its IPL 2011 campaign with a disappointing defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets at its home ground.
Both Pune Warriors and Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchise owners picked some big names in their squads in the IPL auction in January this year. Warriors have Graeme Smith, Jesse Ryder, Yuvraj Singh, Callum Ferguson, Tim Paine, Nathan McCullum, and Jerome Taylor.
In the KTK squad, Mahela Jayawardene, Brendon McCullum, John Hastings, Brad Hodge, Muttiah Muralitharan, Michael Klinger, and Sreesanth are some big names.
Both team are looking very balanced, and it is difficult to predict which one is better. However, at the end of the day individual and team performances will decide who will be the better team.
But, it seems likely that the tenth match of the IPL 4 between Pune Warriors and Kochi Tuskers Kerala will entertain both ground audiences and TV viewers.
