Mumbai Indians Out :(

Mumbai Indians' loss to Chennai Super Kings ensured they are out of IPL2. It left me with a dilemna of whom to support now.

Being a cricket fan from Jharkhand who lived in Delhi for 4 years and now living in Bangalore for last 3 years I need to find a new team to cheer. Mumbai Indians was the first choice for the sole reason of Sachin Tendulkar. Wherever GOD resides followers too reach there. I found that the case with most of the people who are not from the states to which IPL teams belong. Sachin's presence drew a lot of support from neutral people all over India. Infact few from IPL states also supported Mumbai because of Sachin. When Mumbai was playing Rajasthan in a close encounter few days back, I was matching match in one of the Malls here in Bangalore. Except one or two rest of the crowd cheered Sachin's batting and team. Unfortunately they lost and everyone left the Mall disappointed.

I guess I will cheer my present living place for today's match which they need to win at any cost to remain in the league. The opponent tops the points table and have been a dominating side for the whole season. Hopefully Bangalore wins and I will not have to look for the next option again. Any ways the party tonight gives me a chance to watch the match with much more people than the other matches.
