Dhoni elects to field in damp Cape Town
And so, after months of build-up, controversy and intense speculation,
the second edition of the Indian Premier League got underway in gloomy
Cape Town. The weather threatened to play spoilsport but the toss
happened as scheduled - flipped by none other than IPL chairman and
commissioner Lalit Modi - with MS Dhoni
winning the toss and opting to field on what appeared a damp pitch.
