There are lots of media in this time. No median is less popular than others. In different place different media is useful. Online live score is not a fashion in digital-internet age. It is very useful in the busiest time. I am giving a list of diff types of directions.

DLF IPL Twenty20 Cricket has already inaugurated on 18 April in Bangalore. In the inaugural ceremony, the play ground was full of cricket fans. The stadium was only 55,000 seat capacity but the fan was huge who was not in the stadium were watching the match live on TV, Online (ball by ball commentary, video, text commentary), Video Streaming.

In the DLF IPL spectacular start impressive the cricket fans both offline and online. I am giving the detailed information about some online live score sites.

Cricinfo.com

Cricinfo is show the text commentary in an individual page like other match. It is showing not only the balls and runs but also the especial character that happened after throwing the ball by bolwer and hitting the ball by the batsmen and what were the fielder’s activities too.

If you want to get the opportunities you have to spend US$1 for every match.

Indian Sony Entertainment Television and Singapore based World Sports Group got the IPL (Indian Premier League) telecast media right on 15 January by bid. It acquired the 10 years right for US$1 billion. The dealing part is different and the BCCI will be paid US$908 million and US$108 million will be paid for the development of the IPL tournament.

Geo Super is a first Sports pay TV channel in Pakistan. Geo Super’s offer gives the opportunities to the Pakistani people a little bit refreshment. We all know that the Sub-Continent is craze for cricket especially if it is India-Pakistan match. Viewers will have a chance to see great cricket stars besides more than 10 Pakistani players in action during these matches. Skipper of Pakistan Cricket Team Shoaib Malik, All Rounder Shahid Afridi, fast bowlers Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Sohail Tanvir, star batsmen Mohammad Yousaf, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Yasir Hameed and Muhammad Hafeez will represent various Indian teams during this mega event whereas inclusion of Shoaib Akhtar depends on the final decision on the hearing of his appeal.

The 45days 59 matches will be more mind blowing, BCCI is expectation it. But I think it will be difficult but timing. Most of the match times are in prime time (according to IST). For Australia and New Zealand fans it is nearly mid-nigh. For England it is morning and for American fans it is earlier down. Do you think that it will hit the heart of those fans that live in those geological locations?

Although there some good players such as Gautam Gambhir, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Shoaib Malik and Glenn McGrath but it seems that the team is not strong enough.

The newly installed floodlight Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi has selected as the home ground for the Delhi DareDevils team. It is going the play its first math in the DLF Indian Premier League in this ground. Greg Shipperd has been called as a coach and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar the brand ambassador.

The Rajasthan Royals is only team that will be leaded by the foreign icon players. First 7 hundred wickets taker in the test match Sahne Worn will lead the team.

Sohail Tanvir is a player who showed a great performance during the inaugural Twenty20 World Championship. The new style bowler also well in batting too.

BB McCullum’s 158runs and Kolkata Knight Riders

The first match of DFL IPL tewnty20 between KKR and RCB was taken place in Bangalore. Royal Challengers Bangalore’s captain Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected to field first with a great confidence. But at the end of 20 over the total confidence on blower has broken.

The opening ceremony was a spectacular affair, but was followed was even more breathtaking, as Brendon McCullum stamped his class in the IPL opener. In what was a brutal one-man assault on the Bangalore Royal Challengers, McCullum blasted an unbeaten 158 from a mere 73 deliveries, the highest score in a Twenty20 match, to propel Kolkata Knight Riders to an imposing 222 for 3.

Although the pitch was fully bowling supported but the Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen dominate the RCB’s blowers and looks them helpless to them. The atmosphere of the stadium was full of joy. The franchise Shah Rukh Khan added extra joyfulness to the audiences who was present in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.

McCullum allowed himself a breather after that, going 17 deliveries without a boundary, before the floodgates opened again. Sunil Joshi was slog-swept twice - with the bottom hand coming off the bat once - for sixes, before he turned his attention to Cameron White and Jacques Kallis. Line, length, and pace mattered not a jot, as balls disappeared over the ground with amazing frequency When Noffke returned for another spell, McCullum manufactured the stroke of the evening, going down on one knee and scooping the ball over fine leg for six.

The New Zealand Batsman BB McCullum’s 158 runs by 73 balls. To achieve this score BB McCullum hit 10 fours and 13 sixes. Kolkata Knight Riders scored 222runs by 3 wickets.

Royal Challengers Bangalore the stable team in IPL

Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to lead by the former Indian captain Rahul Dravid. The IPL tournament is going to inaugurate with the match between Royal Challenger Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. So which team is stronger between the two teams? Now I am giving some important example of coach, batsmen, bowlers and all-rounder of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team.

Dr. Vijay Mallya and UB group owned team RCB is coached by the former Indian Bowlers Venkatesh Prasad and the CEO is the cricket intellectual Charu Sharma. In the IPL tournament the team is going to represent the city of Bangalore. The team owner DR. Vijay Mallya has purchased the team for US$111.6 million. It is the second highest bid.

The batting line-up looks conventional with the likes of Wasim Jaffer, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Jacques Kallis who are seasoned athletes but may not be the most proficient in the Twenty20 format. However, their experience though could give them an edge in crunch situations in the tournament. In contrast, the bowling lineup is more suited to the Twenty20 format. The likes of Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, Nathan Bracken, Abdur Razzak and Dale Steyn make for a potent bowling attack. A lethal combination of bouncers, in-swingers, yorkers and leg breaks makes Bangalore Royal Challengers one of the best bowling sides in the league.

There are some icon players in the team. Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Nathan Bracken, Cameron White, Mark Boucher and Dale Steyn. I think this sequence is proving that how strong the RCB is in the opening IPL tournament!

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be taken part in the robin round league. The total tournament has divided in two parts one is robin round and other is knock-out.

Mumbai Indians the top Bided and most Popular Team in IPL

Mumbai Indians is one of the popular teams in the inaugural IPL Twenty20 tournament. There are many stars cricket in this team such as Sanath Jayasuriya, Shaun Pollock etc. Some of the players of the national team of India also there who performed well in the inaugural Twenty20 world cup champion tournament in South Africa.

Robin Uthappa, 22 is one of them whose presentation impressed all the Indian fans, especially some of his innovative shoots. During the interval the commentator and cricket intelligent asked him about this shoot. He answered freely and told he practiced it in the home ground.

Indian Star Icon Sachin Tendulkar will lead the Mumbai Indians team. Although he is the best players in the world in both Test and ODI but he has not show any well performance in the Twenty20 format. Any way it is the time to show him. Some of the media reports told that he not fit for the tournament.

Now, it is a question who will lead the team Mumbai Indians, Robin Uthappa or Harbhajan Singh during the absent of the Sachin Tendulkar.

Indian peoples are always crazy in two things Crcket and Bollywood. In the IPL there are many Bollywood stars who are playing important role to make IPL popular. Hrithk Roshan is one of them who are the brand ambassador of Mumbai Indians team.

Mumbai Indians is the top bided team of IPL of $111.9 million. Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Industries Limited have purchased the team.

The first match of IPL on 18 April 2008

The most awaited IPL tournament is going to launch after a few hours. The inaugural ceremony will be taken place on 18 April. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore is fully prepared to celebrate the inaugural tournament between Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kolkata Knight Riders. The match will run from 18 April to 1 June. The final will be on June 1 in Mumbai.

At 20:00 (IST) the two former captains will come to fight in the floodlight of Bangalore. Sourav Ganguly the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders and Rahul Dravid the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore will meet each other in the home ground of Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The former India captains will walk out for the toss in a stadium plunged in darkness. Spotlights will trail them as they make their way to the middle, then finally the floodlights will come on as the home team's franchise, the Royal Challengers, take on the Kolkata Knight Riders.

I have got a nice similarity between the two teams that is both the teams have occupied the second positions form the ascending and descending way. That means the Royal Challengers Bangalore is the second highest bided team and the Kolkata Knight is second lowest bided team.

Kolkata Knight Rides Franchise Shah Rukh Khan has offered 1000 tickets for the fans to join the inaugural ceremony in Bangalore. Now it a question that which team will own the first match bangle or Bangalore? There are many storng and experienced players in the both team such as Rickey Ponting, Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum, David Hussey , Shoaib Akhtar on the other team Mark Boucher, Nathan Bracken, Dale Steyn are the strong hands.
