IPL 2011, the new season, the new heroes.... Every season of IPL, there were some super stars, some extra ordinary young talents exposed to a great platform where they can share their dressing rooms with great international players, and announce themselves to the world of cricket.
Shaun Marsh, Virat Kohli, Pragyan Ozha, Rohit Sharma, R Ashvin, Murli Vijay, David Warner, Yousuf Pathan, Saurabh Tiwary, Ravindra Jadeja, Sidharth Trivedi....and so on.....these are all the young superstars of the IPL. And now with the new season there are some new rising stars....1 of them is Paul Valthaty who plays for Kings XI Punjab. He is the new sensation of IPL 2011.
This guy can bat..whoaa....he scored a century and won the game against Chennai Super Kings on his head. And doing so, he announced himself in the IPL. He scored 120* in just 63 balls. And the most impressive thing is he doesn't slog every ball. His batting is about timing and finding the gaps. 11 players didn't looked like enough on the field when he was batting. He was finding gaps as easy as any one can. He has got good temperament. He stayed till the end and helped his team to chase 190 odd runs with an over spare. Which was looking like very very tough ask for the Kings XI Punjab boys. But he did it with his super class.
Well, If you think that was his day so he managed to score runs and he will not that reliable, here's his answer. The very next match, he came out with extra ordinary performance.....and this time with ball in his hand....he took 4 wickets and gave just 29 runs. He is not finished yet... He scored 75 from 47 balls. And this time too, smart batting not just slogging or smashing the bat at everything. What an all round performance..!!! He deserved the man of the match award in both the matches.
He continued the form to the next match also and scored 47 from 31 balls, which was also an important knock for his team. And guess what, He now owns the Orange Cap which is given to the highest run scorer in the season. He is not gone crazy and over confidant, he is still focused and his aim is to get place in Team India. I wish him good luck for that and i hope he will play as good and achieve his goals.
