The cricketing temperatures are already high in anticipation of the Dhoni-Kohli face-off.
They remind you of two battle-scarred gunslingers in the Wild West. One, steely, quiet, and with eyes on target. The other more chirpy, emotional but fiercely focussed.
The showdown between the icy Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the often volatile Virat Kohli at Chepauk on Saturday will be a high voltage launch to IPL-12.
It is getting warmer in these parts. The cricketing temperatures are already high in the city in anticipation of the face-off between the two match-winners of contrasting age-groups.
In the Indian limited over set-ups, Kohli is the skipper and Dhoni his most trusted lieutenant. When the tension builds, Dhoni chips in with his inputs.
But the equation will be different at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium when Royal Challengers Bangalore runs into defending champion Chennai Super Kings.
It’s a marquee clash that could set the tone for what promises to be an interesting and colourful IPL. Sparks could fly.
