Here you go, I just got your audience by weird title, but the theme of this blog is all about why I wanted all 8 teams to win IPL 2 for the attributes I liked in each of the team. That said, every team had their unique DNA and their USP is also majorly different. I am fond of each team (it's a truth!!) on some parameters, so thought will share those in my blog for wider audience.
The other aspect I wanted to share is that my study of each team's behavior on management perspective on different leaders (captians or coaches) on their impact for the on-field performance and off-field ones as well :) You may see only positives out on the blog so I think this entry will not trigger any controversies!!!

Why I am happy that Deccan Chargers won - Simply put one of the modern legends leading it with more of instinctive tactis / strategies with bunch of hard working , polite & young players from one of not so major hub of cricket in India. Another thing is that they were in the bottom of points table last year and had to make some drastic changes which is going to be order of the day in this commerical venture of cricket.
Another aspect, I liked their approach on tournament with respect to off-field publicity or media relations, it was just a quiet month and only the talking happened in post match presentations or press conferences. Their off-field personnel were always on low key and not much mention of them during this month
Why I am sad that Royal Challengers lost final - After all it's Namma Bengaluru hudugas (boys) that couldn't bring Good Times to the city. One of the early inspiration for me in my adolscent age is their owner :). Then their stalwarts are one of the silent giant killers in cricket in last 2 decades. Listing them out for you... Kumble, Dravid, Kallis, Boucher are there big time match winners and not much of media spotlight on them for wrong reasons, for that matter it may be nil on that aspect.
The elder statesman of the team started leading the team and got thru to finals and had to lose out low scoring and seems their players were overawed of the big stage, big event and bigger price. The leader took the ownership of taking on big fish Gilly on the final and succeeded on that. It shows how the captain took the initiative and also had respect of the team. I am always inspired by the calmness and professional approach of Kallis, Kumble, Dravid and their new young one Manish Pandey.. Even though their coach is a high profile one, he wasn't occupying media space for not more than reasonable amount, maybe less deserved for team that was the finalist :)
