TWO TEAMS lead by wicketkeeper batsmen will meet in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League 2011 today at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. Two weeks back at the same venue a high-intensity 2011 Cricket World Cup match was played between India and Pakistan.
In today's first match on April 13 in the IPL 4, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). Defending champion CSK is being led by the charismatic and highly successful captain MS Dhoni. KXIP is being lead by Adam Gilchrist, under whose captaincy Deccan Chargers won IPL 2 in 2009 in South Africa.
