The partnership of Google and DFL IPL is a first major step to broadcast this big event live on the world stage. This will help propagate cricket to different parts of the world (specially non – cricket playing countries) and increase its popularity.

Youtube will broadcast all the 60 games live.  It will broadcast these games with 5 minutes delay but honestly this hardly matters and no one cares.

Last year’s IPL champions – Deccan Chargers ( a team representing Hyderabad ) will try to defend the title. It will be amazing contest between 8 teams contending for the championship.

Cricket lovers mark you calender with the fixtures and tomorrow’s inaugural match is between Charges and Knight Riders.

I am supporting Mumbai Indians this season and my wife is with Royal Challengers.

Go Mumbai Indians!!

[Update]: This streaming is not available for US viewers. What a bummer!!!

Nadal is tired after his one of the longest game (longest in Australian Open history, it lasted for 5 hours and 14 minutes) vs Fernando Verdasco yesterday. Federer had a comparatively easy semifinal encounter against Any Roddick, he won the match in straight 3 sets.

If we go by statistics, Nadal has an edge over Federer -

		Federer	Nadal
Total	18	6	12
Sets	62	25	37
Finals	14	4	10
Major	7	2	5

I am all up for this grand finale and I am supporting Federer and my wife is supporting Nadal, lets see who wins the battle!
