SHOAIB AKHTAR ALLOWED TO PLAY IN THE IPL

With the Pakistani board lifting the ban for a month, Shoaib Akhtar the rawalpindi express is all set to feature for the kolkata knight riders in their fortcoming matches.

While there was never a doubt that the board would relent and allow him to play in the IPL once Shoaib had apologized. I wonder why they could not do this a bit earlier. That would have enabled him to play for the kolkata team much earlier.

After a fantastic start to the campaign, sadly the knight riders have lost their way a bit losing their last few matches on the trot. Without a doubt the firepower that Shoaib brings with him will be a big help. Bowlers with pace have survived well in the tournament and have contained the batsmen and when it comes to pace no one better that Shoaib Akhtar.

There might be a few doubts about his attitude and his ability to gel with the team; however a class act like him can destroy any batting line-up single handedly on his day.

Hence I am sure Sourav and co. would put with minor inconveniences in their quest to win the league.

Here is wishing Shoaib and kolkata team all the best. Hope the competition gets even more exciting with the rawalpindi express also in action
