Ever felt the need to be in control? Ever thought that you had the perfect antidote to a strategic problem during or before an important cricket game? Kolkata Knight Riders and Nokia are going to give you that opportunity come this IPL.
Yes, you get the chance to voice your expert opinion on matters of team strategy once the season starts. You also get to be sure that those are heard. Of course, you get to win a lot of prizes. Take a look at this:
Interested? Here is how it works:
- You go and register at the contest site here
- You accumulate runs on the contest site by either cheering for KKR, answering a trivia question or by suggesting solutions for the teams strategic questions.
- Each run scored will lead you closer to the elusive prizes, which include Music Vouchers, KKR Bags, Memorabilia, Match Passes, all of them leading you to a grand prize of a Red Carpet Welcome to watch the Final Game.
- To know more about the game, check out the rules page, or visit the contest site.
And that is not all, there is a very unique competition running here at paddle sweep itself. Its called the Paddle Sweep Wrong ‘Un. I would be putting up questions regarding match situations and the best answer would win. Expect the first question on 8th March.
Do remember, that the Nokia Main Bhi Coach contest is valid for Indian Residents Only. I know that is an inconvenience for those outside India, but that is where the Paddle Sweep Wrong ’Un comes in. All you have to do is register here, and you are good to go to participate in any one, or both.
The prizes and recognition is yours to be had. So get cracking.

plzzzzzzzzz dada kalighat a pujo dao puro team niya
ishand sharma & bond can’t just give runs like that, they must go for variations, dont always relay upon speed. only ashok dinda is doin that for kkr. it doesn’t matter ishand got wickets he gave up runs alot..its good that dada came to open the innings . after a long time i saw dada fearless in the pitch. if he is n this attitude no one can stop him. thats why we call him bengal tiger..still its not late kkr will come back. Hodge has to play every match till hussy & mc cullam comes back, shane bond must be out of 11,,,
leave the fear dada
plzzzzzz keep the soul of bengali people
DADA TOMAKE AKTA REQUEST JE BOND KE NA KHLIEA LANGVELT KE KHALAOU… R ISHANT KE BOSIEA ONNO KAOUKE……. HATE WICKET REKHE KICHU HOBE NA EVERY BOWLE HIT KORO….. CHAK DE KKR……………………………….
Hello,
By seeing the match against Mumbai Indians I must say one thing that Ishant Sharma must be dropped immediately from the squad.He is very low on confidence.Similarly Bond also need to be dropped.We must go with Langvelt , Agarkar and Eklakh Ahmed.
In batting Owais Shah and Anjelo Matthews should come up the order.
Lastly our beloved Dada needs to fire more.He seems a bit low on confidence and showing vulnerability to shot ball.He needs to concentrate on his battting
to get it…bat ghumao…mat maro six..only 4…no big hit…there is a tendency..to make heroik image…6 maro,but tht.is not so easy…eta saha..etc.der janna joruri…..dada..u fit for only 2nd down.
WHAT HAPPENED YESTRDAY DI DU SEE SRK SHANE BOND CAN THROW AWAY OUR TEAM FRM REACHING SEMIS SO PICK CHARL LAGEVELDT AND DINDA AND AGARKAR COZ WE WANNA SEE OUR TEAM PERFORMING WELL OUT THERE SO PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ DO SME THING FEARLESS U JUZ SEE OUR TEAM IS TOO STRONG THAN OTHERS SO GO AHEAD TO DADA AND ASK HIM TO CHANGE IT INTO A SUCCESSFULL STORY LIKE LORDS …………………….
It was big mistake,Murli Kartik drop the catch of Sachin
Tendulkar,that was change the result.We have to follow up Sourav Ganguly they took amazing catch.
dada i am a delhihite but i am supporting only and only kolkata so i have a tip for you-whenever you decide to play a shot be confident about that and you should not have any second thoughts in mind. chris gayle should not be playing because every has come to know his weakness and that is yorker and slower bowls. dada make your choice and do whatyou feel is right. THANK YOU
I THINK AGARKAR SHOULD BE PLAYED IN MATCH BECUSE HE CAN ALSO BAT WELL
AFTER LOOSING LAST MATCH AGAINST KOLKATTA PLAYER SHOULD NOT FEEL NERVOUS THEY SHOULD WORK HARD AND CONCENTRATE ON FURTHER MATCHES
BOND SHOULD BE REMOVED AND LANG SHOULD BE TAKEN BACK IN THE MATCHES AS BOND IS GOOD BOWLER BUT HE IS NOT IN GOOD FORM
hi dada please play some good indian bowler and batsmen then only kkr win matches. only high profile foreign players can’t do anything.
kkr go back! kkr hai hai!
u are playing with emotions of people of kolkata
u are not eligible to play in eden garden this is not a third class ground please shift the home ground
srk,please delete the kolkata from kkr otherwise ur flim will not be released in kolkata i m giving you that gurantee
ur poster will burn everywhere in kolkata
dada tv te khub dadagiri korte mathe gie haowa berie geche
ami tomar barir pase thaki tomar barir samne erpor tomar kushputul daho kora hobe
sob burora bhalo khelche tumi chara
erporer match ta tomader last chance this is ur last chance otherwise pitai is waiting for all of you including srk
Another match another loss. KKR need to look at themselves seriously. If not now then when? After another ignominious year? Think I saw Vijay Dahiya with the team!! Well if he is one of the support staff then God save KKR.
Bond and Hodge have not delivered what was expected of them.
Let us not go by reputations but by performance. Dinda and Agarkar would definitely do more. Bond is not able to create any pressure nor has Ishant Sharma been using his brains, if he has any.
Winning or losing the toss doesn’t really matter if you can’t set a target or chase one successfully on these placid surfaces. First and foremost we have to sit down and decide how we can set a winning target or how we should go about chasing one. At the moment there seems to be no definite plan. For all his fame and achievements Dada has not been able to become the driving force that say Sachin, Kumble and Warne have become.
And sadly too Wasim Akram doesn’t seem to be working any magic with the bowlers. I am a huge fan of Akram’s bowling exploits and consider him to be the best exponent of fast bowling but as a coach I am not his fan.
The people in the team who are worth their place in the side can be counted on fingertips – Gayle, McCullum (If & when available), Angelo Matthews, Murali Kartik, Saha and Dinda. The rest have been very pedestrian including Ganguly, Shah & Hodge. The team has to be built around the former five/six considering who fits in where and with whom.
And for Heaven’s sake why is Ganguly not using the new ball? Is he carrying an injury? If not then his not bowling defies all cricketing logic. I mean if he cannot do that for his team’s cause then his loyalty is misplaced. Why is Mendis not being tried out? I don’t know much about G.Vignesh but his name keeps cropping up in almost every suggestion. He should be tried if he is that good.
This is the beauty of the wham bams. There is no distinction between an ordinary, average, good and extraordinary players. Any one can come good.
I find a rigidity in KKR’s approach whatever be the reason. It may be Dada’s pig headedness or the Management’s lack of initiative.Or it seems they are just too scared of being innovative. What is the purpose of this site if the suggestions are not being taken seriously by KKR?
We are all contributing because we want to see KKR in good health, otherwise who is concerned?
SRK/DADA,
Revisit the memories of the first match when IPL started,the way your team played and show it to all your players and tell them to play with positive attitude.Tell all your player’s about the slogan ” I CAN DO IT “.Tell them to concentrate on this slogan for 5 mins.before start of every match and I am sure your team will fire from thereon.
poor show by again ganguly through him out frm kkr
ishant should realise that he bowling to guys like sachin…..
dont use silly bowls think and doooo
think reasonably ishantttt
KKR is lacking in innovation. If u see the other teams most of the innovation is happening in the bowling department. Eg. Malinga’s bowling. Slower delivery outside the off stump but the toe cracking yorkers at 140. Hence very few matches are seeing 200+ scores. Wasim bhai pls note. Saurav’s opeing is definitely a good move. Unfortunately the role got reversed with Gayle taking time to settle into his groove. Shane Bond to bowl according to the pitches its not only pace. Why was Dinda dropped? He is by far the most intelligent bowler in the team. Saurav also should bowl, probably he is low on confidence.
Guys still there’s chance. INNOVATE & think out of the box. You have no choice.
Ishant Sharma should be replaced with Ajit Agarkar, he can hit a few runs & also is a brilliant fielder.
Against MI, even though KKR got a very good start, run-rate was never good for a T20 game. Gayle has to up the ante right from the start & need to take advantage of first 6 overs. MI never felt any pressure in the match & it was a cakewalk for them.
GUYS SHOULD WATCH CHAK DE INDIA
THEY SHOULD PRACTICE CATCHING AND FIELDING I THINK WE NEED TO WATCH JONTY CLIPS IF POSSIBLE ..
BOWLING IN DEATH OVERS SHOULD BE PRACTICED A LITTLE BIT MORE !!
Hello KKR,
We want KKR to be in the semis but with the current performance i don’t see there is much hope for us to make it there and it hurts very badly.There is no problem with our team each one of us is capable of winning matches but the important thing is to think correct and then execute. There was no requirment of Manoj Tiwari to be dropped and Sourav to open the innings,when you are low on confidence why do you have to try??? Running between the wickets was pathetic…when you can run 2 we are running only singles…Mumbai Indians encashed every oppurtunity when it came to taking singles and converting into doubles….we should really work on the same and learn.When Gayle and Sourav were batting they didn’t look interested in putting any kind of pressure on the opponent team and missed many opputunities in taking runs…Boss this T20 and every run counts. I feel KKR shows no urgency to score runs. Having 9 wickets in hand is crime in this format…simple funda is “Hit Out or Get Out”.
Ishant is a good bowler no doubt but if he is not clicking pls change and get Dinda instead…Every other captain is thinking hard and it shows when they come out to play. We are a strong team and we should go with full power. Get langvelt in the next match.
All the very best and keep screaming “Korbo Lodbo Jeetbo re…..”
The Batting Line-up should be as follows:
1. Saurav G
2. Chris Gayle
3. Owis Shah/Brenden MCcullum
4. Laxmiratan Shukla
5. A. Mathews
5. Manoj Tiwari
6. Morne van Wyk/Charl Langeveldt
7. Rohan Gavaskar
8. Ishant Sharma
9. Murali Kartik
10. Ashok Dinda
11. Wriddhiman Saha
This is better team to face every opponents,
Dada is the best Captain for KKR. Just everyonr concentrate on his personal best performance & definately they can win,
All the Best KKR………..
kkr – you can become in the first position by doing this things
1.fielding should be perfect
2.try to less the no ball,wides
3.don’t lose the confidence
4.target should be near about 180,if u think 200
then u can able to achive 180
5.for all players ,respect ur elders in team
6.take the meal accurate and in time
7.practice makes the team perfect
these are the 7 rules……
best of luck for the future……………….
change the batting order dada, i mean that owis shah n hodge is atcking bastman sooo put them on opening, then the criss gayle, coz his very atcking and good player for the 4met like t2o then dada u came on the pitch……. this bating order is awesome and cool for our kolkata knight rider . please try one time and you see that my idea is hmmmmmmm. best of luck
Mathews should be utilised well, need to play upto the mark in the power play. All the best
Team should have the right combination of all rounders, as they were not able to execute the plan while batting and bowling. I strongly feels local talent need to be given more chances. Manoj tiwari should bat at no.5 as this will provide the hitting option to KKR.
replace shane bond and ishant sharma.
change the team and also the batting order.in my point of view the wright combination are
1. sourav
2. gayle
3. mathews
4. manoj
5. brad hodge/ shaw
6. Wridhiman saha
7. Lakshmi/pujara
8. Agarkar
9. Murli kartick
10.Charl Langeveldt
11. Dinda
Thats perfect team
HI
U should learn that , u can’t get into the match by bowling lke sharma. as he is an international bowler he should know how to bowl in a T20 game. u can’t bowl in good line and length.. u should change ur pace , full length bowl ,bouncer.
KKR top order should attack. Replace Bond with CHARLE LANGEVELDT because Bond is not in his best. so please play CHARLE LANGEVELDT because He is wicket taker bowler and also giving less runs compare to Bond.
AGARKAR N C.LANGEVELDT WILL PLAY N ANGELO MURALI GAYLE GANGULY PLZ BOWL WELL YAAR KYA KARTA HAI GANGULY PLZ BOWLING KAR NA YAAR
believe in player & natural game will done trick .
believe in player &natural game
I was surprised by the approach of Gayle and Ganguly yesterday. No doubt the MI had done their home work well and had a quite a leash on Gayle for a while. I am surprised by the approach of Ganguly. He was not attacking the ball as he should. Gayle also should have been equal to the task. He was cowed down for quite a while. Any how the approach of KKR shoyld have been more positive.
Replace Bond with LANGEVELDT &.Replace Ishanth sharma with AJIT AGARKAR
gayle and dada should play like 20-20 not like test because in last two matches kolkata lost due to adding slow run
so kolkata shld start hiting from 1st over itself
dada and gayle should open
dada should also ball and agarkar should play
kkr should bat faster making a good run rate . just go and have rain of 6and4 forget about 1,2
M.Tiwary should not be dropped from the playing XI. Chris Gayle and Tiwary should open for the team. Ishant Sharma should be dropped because the team is not in position to take any chances. S.Bond and Charl Langleveld should do first four over bowling. Teams batting line up should be as follows-
Gayle
Tiwary
Ganguly(C)
Shah
Saha
Pujara
Mathews
Shukla
Karthick
S.Bond
Langleveld
gayle and owais shah should come to bat first as it makes combination of lefty and righty till maccullum comes.kkr should continue this combination. in bowling option mendis should come to bowl and spinner should bowl first or second over.
Hi
watmore dont think won two and what more u should have more
KKR , SRK and DADA it was all good from ur side but still fear is bad. don’t go on back foot, dont make room like that.
step fwd and play on front foot let bowlers fear ok.
2) Ishant kya karta hai yaar wye u go with same lline length kya veriation nahi hai kya
3) Bond be wicket to wicket its indian pitches speed may not matter dear.
4) promote shah and methew,
5) Gayal u take such a big stand that the movement bowler bowl u dont have time to adjust play the ball as per the merit how ever u coudn;t have done any thing as Mumbai had a solid plan against u. so better luck next match.
6) Ganguly u sholuld have tried the bowling in /mumbai MAtch u know slow and variation was working then how u tookk chance with i sharma.
7) Wasim bhai sab ko refresh karo
9) The Ganguly shouwed the commitment for that single handed catch of panday such should be the commitment of team for full match.
10) new indian players in KKr Bhai sote hi rahoge ya kuch karoge bhai wake up. put 101 percent
best of luck next time.
There are 9 matches to go and if we follow few instructions then we will go far.
1) Play G.Vignesh who is a big hitting allrounder which he proved in ICL and make him open with Gayle.
2) dont play Ishant who has’nt played well in any matches in 3 season of ipl instead giving many runs bringing team moral down.
3) Play 2 spinners either Abdullah or even Mendis in the team specially after seeing Murli kartik being very economic nad fast bowlers going for many runs.
4) Score 9-10 runs/over in the first 6 overs of powerplay without loosing many wickets which is very important .
Follow these instructions and I am 100% sure that KKR will rock the IPl.
9 matches to go and if you to be in top 3 follow the following steps
1. First and foremost be positive.
2. All the players should have respect for their captain.
3. All the members must forget the differences among themselves if they have any!
4. Team strategy should be decided at least a day before.
5. Target the top players of the opposite team.
6. The weakness of these top players should be critically analyzed and exploited to full effect.
7. Never give up.
8. Believe that yes, you can do it.
9. And last but not the least performance of each individual counts.
Do anything to win the next match. It is very important for the team to taste victory and i am sure that every KKR fan wants to see the smiling faces after defeating DD. Go for it guys. Few things to keep in mind that scoring at 8 runs per over is required ….It is important that we leave behind emotions and play some good cricket tom. Ishant and Bond should be rested and give Dinda and Langavelt a chance. We need to win one match to get our rhythm back….All the best and God bless!
Nataraj Behera is also a wonderful player..After seeing him play John Buchanan himself told that he is the 2nd Sehwag of India…Then why he isn’t played..
only attacking shorts ,,,should be play main part of winning team,,,,so all of players play attack shorts and score upper to 220,,,,,,,,
