As the debut edition of the Indian Premier League hits the mid-way mark, it is throwing up its share of the good and the bad. Shane Warne's surprise package -the Rajasthan Royals- is the odds on favorite to win the tournament.
Warne's leadership surprised many as he marshalled his team of lesser-known cricketersss to the top of the table. Leading the weakest and cheapest team of the tournament, Warne has been able to mould his bunch into a playing machine.
The winning cocktail of the IPL has been smart captaincy, effective combination, teamwork, and simple strategies. Warne, Virender Sehwag and Shaun Pollock have used this mix with success. Sehwag used ace bowler Glenn McGrath effectively while top batsmen of the Delhi Daredevils did most of the bullwork given the lower order's frailty.
