Mudava Pellam tho Naatu Dengudu

A lot was expected of the Australian great as he made a comeback to the IPL as captain of the Mumbai Indians. Many felt that he would come into this tournament to enjoy his cricket as the pressure of international cricket was off his shoulders. But he struggled to make a mark and had to ultimately sacrifice his spot for the team’s cause. Nevertheless, he was a vital cog in the Mumbai set-up contributing with his invaluable inputs.In a power-packed Royal Challengers Bangalore batting line-up, Dilshan couldn’t match the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers. Gayle’s mind-boggling efforts made him look slow on many occasions and he never got going. As a result, Bangalore opted to play an overseas bowling option or an all-rounder instead of him. That not only strengthened their bowling, but also handed an Indian youngster an opportunity. Dilshan remains one of the most feared players in the format and come next season, he would be eager to change things.
