Live IPL Score

IPL is back home after its second edition played in South Africa. The 3rd edition of IPL has started with a bang and lot of uncertainties about which team is going to be at the top. Unlike the previous editions, this time more teams have managed to start well with their initial matches. If we have a look at the points table, teams like Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, Deccan Chargers, Kolkata Knight Rider have all started well. Delhi Daredevils after a good start have lost two successive matches to Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Kings XI Punjab & Rajasthan Royals have started their campaigns very disappointingly with no wins from their first three matches.

Important players like Gambhir, Dhoni, Smith are injured and their teams are experiencing their deficit. On the other hand players like Gayle and Pollard have joined the IPL after finishing their international commitments.

They will be allowed to play domestic and county cricket.

Rana Naved and Shoaib Malik face a year's ban. Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal & Shahid Afridi are put on a probation period of 6 months with a huge fine of 2-3 million rupees.

The inquiry committee set by Pakistan cricket board suggested this bans and fines on the players. This bans are because of dismal performance of the team in Australia, bad influential behaviour of few players, ball tampering issue and much more.
