Irony is, the expensive franchises are racing to the bottom and the cost-effective franchises are racing to the top. Check out for Rajastan Royals. No big names, no big players but its in the top half. Did the big corporate house missed a trick or two?
What is really confusing is the way net run rate is calculated. Sony Max shows a completely different set of run rates. IPLT20.com shows a completely different set of run rates and rediff.com shows a completely different run rates. I am following IPLT20.com.
