Delhi Daredevils vs Kolkata Knight Riders Highlights IPL 2013

The news that has reached newsrooms of all leading dailies and magazines and television channels is that KKR jerseys are simply flying off the shelves and retailers are lamenting why they did not have a larger stock. This is just to get an idea of the public hysteria that the first match of IPL 2013 has generated.
The city of Kolkata is literally shivering with expectation even though there is palpable tension in the city due to the death of a student leader from the main opposition party of the state. Had it been any other day, people would have remained cautious before leaving their homes but today nothing like that will cross the minds of crickeThis is the first match of 2013 IPL and the team from their own city is taking the field as last year’s champions; what can be more glorious than that for an average Kolkatan? All those could afford the sky high prices of tickets are already there at the stadium soaking in the atmosphere of the venue and all those could not are already in a do or die battle for the TV remote in their houses.
Dare Devils is not in a very happy position with their team. Their batting lynchpin, the legendary Virendar Sehwag is down with a mystery back spasm and will in all likelihood not take the field tonight. Jessy Ryder, the newly acquired $300,000 batting sensation is struggling with non-cricketing injury at a hospital in his native New Zealand and will not appear in this season at all.t crazy Kolkatans.Brendon McCullum is also nursing a hamstring injury and to make matters worse, Shakib Al Hasan, a star player from Bangladesh, has not yet been able to make his way to India from faraway Zimbabwe where Bangladesh national cricket team had been touring recently.
