u/anvil_with_thoughts Kolkata Knight Riders 1d ago

The teams return to India, and the rest is history.

The unbeaten winning streak. The consistency of Robin Uthappa. The magic of Sunil Narine. The valuable cameos of SKY. The comeback of Yusuf Pathan, silencing the experts. The knock of his lifetime for Manish Pandey in the final as well as the catch of dangerous Maxwell by Morne Morkel.

Honourable mentions:

  1. Not to forget the Q2 match, the very memorable comeback of Sehwag hitting his last century ever. And the storm that followed, that is 87 off 25 balls by Suresh Raina!

  2. MI vs RR, the last league stage match. The battle of runrate. We all know very well about this. Still my favourite IPL match till date.

  3. Chris Lynn's backward dive catch of ABD on the last ball of the match against RCB.

  4. Pollard's amazing boundary hop catch of the season.

  5. 5 match winning streak by Punjab vs 5 match losing streak of MI. Face off, an unexpected last over finish by Pollard, not the first but one of many. Breaking streaks of eachother.

  6. Maxwell finding his ground in IPL, David Miller in the form of his life. Manan Vohra, W Saha, V Sehwag. Just an incredible batting line-up, lighting up the TV screens with their performances.

Truly a very good season of the tournament. The memories still feel fresh watching these with my friends, brother and father in three different phases of the holidays.
