Best of KKR in IPL 5

IPL 5: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) started Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008 to play twenty20 cricket championship. From 2008 to 2012, IPL had seen five seasons. IPL 5 started from 4th April and ended on 27th May 2012. It had nine teams with players from all over the world. The teams were Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Deccan Chargers (DC), Delhi Daredevils (DD), Kings XI Punjab (KP), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI), Pune Warriors India (PWI), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Among the teams DD, KKR, MI and CSK got qualified for the playoffs. Until Finals, Delhi Daredevils were the leading team with top points.

KKR: The present owner of Kolkata Knight Riders team is Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, popular Bollywood actor and actress. Sourab Gangulay led the team in the first and third season. Brendon McCullam led the team in the second season and Goutham Gambhir is the captain for IPL 5, the fourth season. Their performance is not so good in the first three seasons but after the change in the captainship, they showed considerable improvement.

Journey Towards Finals: KKR team for the IPL 5 season is indebted to five stars, who carried their team towards the final goal.

Spinner Narine showed outstanding performance against Kings XI.
Lakshmipathy Balaji got the RCB batsmen in a transfix.
Shakib Al Hasan managed both Rahul Dravid and Ajinkya Rahane sweeping away Rajasthan Royals.
Though Yusuf Pathan is not in his form throughout this season, his contribution against the Dare Devils in the first qualifier is not at all a small thing.

Finally, KKR skipper Goutham Gambhir, who with his enthusiasm and untiring brilliance throughout the IPL 5 season along with his smashing 93 runs out of 51 balls against RCB, took his team to the finals against CSK.
Fight On The Finals:

The final match was held between the defending champions CSK in their home ground Chaupauk and Kolkata Knight Riders. The final innings started with CSK winning the toss. They made up 191 runs. A goal of 191 runs in the Chepauk ground against CSK, the two times winners of IPL, seemed almost impossible. Added to this, KKR skipper Goutham Gambhir got out in the first over itself leaving the audience to decide the CSK as the hat-trick winners of IPL. However, the man who turned the plate is Manvinder Bisla. He started hitting every ball and took 89 runs out of 48 balls. Jacques Kallis, who took 69 runs, stood as a great support to Bisla. Even after Bisla was out, Kallis was there and left the ground leaving 16 runs in 11 balls in store to win. CSK bowlers had a tough end and CSK skipper Dhoni tried everything he could but the IPL 5 championship went for the KKR. Manoj Tiwari with his two boundaries finished the match and got the cup.

Manvinder Sultansingh Bisla was the man of the match for his 89 runs in 48 balls, which is the main driving force to get the title. He took eight boundaries and five sixes. KKR skipper Goutham Gambhir is the second highest scorer of IPL 5 taking 590 runs. Sunil Narine of KKR was the Golden Player of the Season.
