Top 5 Most sixes hitter in an innings (IPLT20)
Shoaib Akhtar is coming to play IPLT20
It is the not the first time for Shoaib Akhtar to ban for the tournament. On the T20 Championship he hit Mohammad Asif with bat during the practices time. That is why he has to back home without participating in the inaugural T20 Championship. Again violation the players rules he has been banned by the PCB for five years.
The issue further got worsened when he accused PCB chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf of demanding commission for a contract with the IPL. Dr Ashraf later sent defamation notice of Rs 200 million to the bowler. And when he (Akhtar) did not reply to the notice, Ashraf’s lawyer field a suit in civil court of Hina Muzaffar for damages of Rs 220 million. The court adjourned hearing till May 16 in the absence of Shoaib Akhtar when Dr Ashraf’s lawyer was present to plead the case.
The message is good for Kolkata Knight Riders. It seems that not only KKR but also the IPLT20 commissioner Lalit Modi is also happy for this decision of PCB.
"It's a great moment for us because he is a great asset for IPL. He has got a huge fan base in India and the Knight Riders are extremely happy. I spoke to (Knight Riders owner) Shah Rukh (Khan), he is very happy. He wanted Shoaib to come for one day at least. We are happy that Shoaib can now play for him," Modi added.
I think it is a very good decision from PCB otherwise Shoaib Akhaer could join ICL. Kolkata Knight Riders will be benefited more because Shoaib Aktar will be more potential for the team in the absence of a couple of foreign players.

Sohail Tanvir has taken 6 wickets in IPLT20
Today was the 24th match of IPLT20 tournament. The match between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings was taken place at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The ground is going to hold a record of highest wicket taker in the T20 match. May there is none who has taken 6 wickets.
May be Sohail Tanvir is now the total highest wicket taker in IPLT20. This place was held by Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Ajit Agarker. Rajasthan Royals' fast bowler Shoail Tanvir took 6 for 14, the best figures at any level of Twenty20 cricket, to decimate the Chennai Super Kings for 109 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Tanvir was in red hot form from the start, he trapped Parthiv Patel lbw with the first ball of the mach and then dismissed Stephen Fleming in similar fashion a few balls later. It set the tone for the rest of the innings, leaving Rajasthan well placed for a fifth consecutive victory.
He is also the also the higher wicket taker in a match in IPLT20 tournament. Rajasthan Royals is improving a lot day by day. The team just lost one match but fight more. I think it has got a very good quality bowlers like Sohail Tanvir, Shane Warne and some batsmen like Graham Smith and the all-rounder YK Pathan too.

Top 5 Highest totals runs in Indian Premier League (IPLT20)
Chennai Super Kings 240/5: It was the 2nd match of Indian Premier League. The match between Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab was taken place at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The Captain MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first. Interesting thing is that just scoring 2 runs he was trapped by lbw. MEK Hussey the Australian batsman scored 116 runs (not out). That time it was the second highest score in the Indian Premier League. Chennai Super Kings cashed 240 by twenty boundaries and 16 over-boundaries. Among them MEK Hussey hit 8 boundaries and 9 over-boundaries. Chennai has accomplished the two highest total score still now. The second total is 208/5 against Mumbai Indians. It was the fifth highest total in IPLT20
Kolkata Knight Riders 222/3: The second highest score holder Kolkata Knight Riders cashed this run in the inaugural ceremony of the ongoing Indian Premier League. That day the total stadium was full of cheerful. The match was held between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rahul Dravid on 18 April at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. The day-night match was totally colorful because of inaugural ceremony. BB McCullum is the New Zealand batsman who scored 158 form 73 balls. In his highest run he hit 10 boundaries and 13 over boundaries and his strike rate was 216.43. It was the most total runs that time and the opposite team cashed just 82 runs. The one bats man scored 18 runs and that was highest and everyone was under 10 runs. Sourav Ganguly leaded Kolkata Knight Riders cashed this runs for 15 boundaries and 14 over-boundaries.
Rajasthan Royals 217/7: This is the only team that is leaded by foreign captain Shane Warne. Besides he is doing the job of responsible coach. Rajasthan Royals is the third highest score holder of the IPLT20 tournament. It scored 217 runs against Deccan Chargers at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad, on 24 April. The match was full of pressure because of losing a few wickets in Afridi’s last over. Rajasthan Royals’ Captain Shane Warne’s aggressive batting against Symonds bowling.
Deccan Chargers 214/5: In the same match against Rajasthan Royals, Deccan Chargers cashed 214/5 runs. Deccan Chargers lost the toss but got bat first. The batsmen bat without pressure and cashed huge runs of 215. To score this run Australian batsman A Symonds himself add 117 runs from 53 balls and hit 11fours and 7 sixes. May be it was the highest hited fours in a match that was 24 and 9 sixes too.
Kings XI Punjab 207/4: Although the score of Kings XI Punjab 207 is the 6th highest score of the IPLT20 but I have added it just for Chennai Super Kings. Anyway now Kings XI Punjab is one of the stronger team in the IPLT20. It scored this runs against Chennai Super Kings. This is the same match of when Chennai scored 240 runs the highest total in the IPLT20. Running behind 240 runs on this match Kings XI Punjab failed to reach the target.
This is a rough list of the highest total. It will be changed by the time being. After the end of the IPLT20 I will give a complete list of the highest total score.
Chennai Super Kings defeated by Delhi Daredevils
A clinical chase, put into motion by a 115-run opening stand in just 11.2 overs and completed by a cool 33-run partnership between Dhawan and de Villiers. Chennai won the toss and elected to bat, as is their wont, but they struggled to really elevate themselves. They managed a healthy 169 but it proved easy enough for Delhi. The visitors bowled well, taking wickets at regular intervals and crucially stifling the scoring towards the death overs. That was the decisive factor. Then Sehwag and Gambhir blasted fifties, the latter becoming the tournament's leading run-getter, to put Delhi on course. Chennai lose their first game after four wins. They looked a different side without Hayden, Hussey and Oram. Siddarth Ravindran, who tried his hand at ball-by-ball commentary for the first few overs of the second innings tonight, tells me that Delhi are now number one owing to their net run rate of +1.263. So they are the leaders of the IPL.
Delhi Daredevils’ captain V Sehwag is now happy after winning the match. Really it is a amazing victory for V Shewag because it is was the first team was unbeaten. After beating Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Daredevia achieve the top position of the score Table.

Bangalore Royal Challengers v Deccan Chargers: who will win?
In the last match Bangalore Royal Challengers was totally despondence all the fans. The captain Rahul Dravid’s did not do any good score in the last five matches. If you look over the scoreboard then you easily comprehend that it lost the last five wickets just cashing 15 runs and the last 8 wickets fallen only 30 runs. So it will be hard for the Bangalore Royal Challengers.
Deccan Chargers is another losing team in the Indian Premier League. It also won just one match among the five. In the last match the 5th match of Deccan Chargers and the 19th matches of Indian Premier League, it faced the similar problem of Bangalore. The team last is last five wickets just casing 10 runs. It is too despondent for all.
What the result will come in the next day? Now it is the matter of existence for both the teams.
