IPL Twenty 20 Cricket Interviews

Cricket is a game, it is not business: Shah Rukh, Ganguly

Is the Indian Premier League changing cricket from a sport to a business venture? No, says Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan. His captain Sourav Ganguly agrees.

Rajdeep Sardesai (to Sourav Ganguly): Some believe IPL has brought in corporatisation of cricket, others say it's brought out the darker side of the game. We've seen when the CEO of Bangalore Royal Challengers was sacked, there were questions about the captain Rahul Dravid as well with Vijay Mallya making certain comments. Does this corporate side of the game trouble you as a cricketer or do you just see big money benefiting the game?

The Chennai Super Kings arrested an alarming slide with a thrilling victory over the Delhi Daredevils on Thursday.

Stephen Fleming: The game against Delhi was a very close game and was full of pressure and we felt the pressure. In the last week the results weren't going our way but against Delhi we played well enough to win the game, though it wasn't a complete performance but we are delighted to win against a good side.

He is one of the world's most formidable T20 players, but Dmitri Mascarenhas is having to warm the bench as his Rajasthan Royals team can't seem to put a foot wrong these days and as Roma Khanna discovered in this exclusive interview, Dmitri isn't complaining.

Dmitri Mascarenhas: It's been brilliant. The Yuvraj thing (hitting him for five sixes in an over) comes up a lot. It's all fun and it is nice that people remember things like that.

Roma Khanna: You have not played a match so far and you will be going back next week but the team it seems is doing really well and has a momentum going. How do you feel being part of the team which was not given much of a chance compared to other glamourous sides that we have in the IPL?

Gambhir's fifty, Mishra's fiver script Delhi win
Delhi Daredevils skipper Virender Sehwag must have had sweaty palms when he handed the ball over to Amit Mishra for the last over, but the leg-spinner came up tops to ensure that Hyderabad Deccan Chargers were kept behind by 12 runs.

In the match against Chennai Super Kings, Sehwag had handed the ball to Shoaib Malik with exactly the same number of runs - 15 - to get, and Delhi lost the match.
