IPL-3 Dream-XI and other stats

Some of the names pick themselves into the dream eleven of IPL-3. So the list is not going to throw any surprise. I think BCCI should think of arranging a match between IPL dream XI and T20 World cup winner. Here is the eleven. Sachin Tendulkar, Kallis, Raina, Dhoni (C/ WK), Kieron Pollard, Andrew Symonds ,Ambati Rayudu, Kumble, Dougy Bollinger, Pragyan Ojha, Lasith Mallinga,

I am little biasd by not taking Uthappa since i like more Rayudu just because of his consistency and hard hitting capability though Uthappa is more famous in this IPL-3 then Rayudu.

Best Young Batsman - Rayudu, Saurav Tiwari, Suman, Murali Vijay, Manish Singh, Kedar Jadhav
Best Young Bowler- Ashwin, Dinda, Harmeet Singh, Umesh Yadav
Unexpected hero -Umesh Yadav, Murali vijay, R Ashwin(As opening bowler)
Big Flop- Dilshan, Yuvraj Singh, Ishant Sharma, Kemar Roach,
The Big 5 keeps of IPL-3 - Sachins consistency and heroics, Praveen Kumars hatrick, David Hussy's catch, Heydos mongoose, change of Fortune of CSK.

One thing will remain in mind for long time is the Pollard factor. he can change any game from any position. he is a complete package of  stunning fielding, more then useful bowling and the hradest hitter of the ball cricket has even seen.
Though i want to see MI winning the cup but happy that Dhoni back to his usual self as a calm captain under pressure which was missing in the initial stage. Better luck next time Sachin.
