I am watching IPLT20 2021 Matches on Disney+Hotstar through their mobile app. I have taken a yearly subscription. Like most Indians, I love watching cricket. It is our unofficial national game. Though the official one is hockey but the whole country's highest focus is on cricket than any other game. Just for everybody's information, India has qualified for the first time in Olympics in sailing. The credit for this goes to Nethra Kumanan of Chennai. The young girl has created a history. This will definitely boost morale of other young girls and their parents. Well, coming back to IPLT20 2021, I really hate two prominent Bollywood actors promoting tobacco /gutka in a very sophisticated manner.

I don't know why for some people after becoming stars, money becomes their top priority beyond everything else. Would a star like his young son of daughter consuming liquor, cigarettes, gutka, or any similar materials motivated by that star's acceptance to promote it. So, the message of clear. Motivation has different colours and shapes. IPLT20 2021 has started from yesterday April 9, 2021. This year it's happening in India. It's happening at 6 different venues. So, overall, 60 matches will be happening in Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. First match, yesterday, was between two strong teams Mumbai Indians, MI, and Royal Challenger Bengaluru.


Second match today is between runner up of IPLT20 2019 and runner up of IPLT20 2020, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. Delhi Capitals' Rishabh Pant wins the toss and invites Dhoni's team to bat first. The way Chennai was batting, their final score would have been around 160. But it was over number 19 by Tom Curran against his brother Sam Curran that changed the equation heavily. Sam Curran continued in the last over also smashing fours and sixes all around the ground taking their final score to 188. Suresh Raina's comeback is wonderful with half century with a strike rate of 150. Delhi, I think, would be easily achieve the target the way Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are hitting as the opening pair.

Dhoni, like last IPLT20 in 2000, is not looking very confide not and not leading from the front. Coming at number 7 or 8 of a batsman captain and thinking of contributing significant, the chances are less. As a captain, I am saying. If that baggage of Captain is not there in mind, an all rounder at that position, like Sam Curran today, become the game changer. By the end of 6 overs, Delhi is going strong with an average of well over 10. Just got to know Pant was less than 3 years old when Dhoni debuted in international cricket. With all due respect to Dhoni for his superlative performances as Indian captain, wicket keeper, and batsman, I feel he should come early in the batting order for his team. I love watching his batting, attitude, and style. 

Yesterday's match between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was nail biting till the last ball. Both the captains are cool and strong. If AB deVilliers was the hero in batting from Royal Challenger Bengaluru, in the bowling section, it was Harshal Patel who was also declared Man of the Match. Among Mumbai Indians openers, Rohit's early run out was a misfortune for the team. Chris Lynn did well before getting out to Washington Sundar at the verge of his half century. Delhi Capitals is still going strong against Chennai Super Kings in the match 2 with 86 for no loss at the end of 9 overs. This match is happening in Delhi at Wankhede Stadium. Yesterday's match was at Chennai.
