The IPL T20 Tournament consisting of 8 city-based teams has almost reached the half way stage with all teams having played 6 matches each.

The most unfancied and least expensive team in the competition Rajasthan Royals, has outperformed every other team and is currently topping the IPL t20 tables. Shane Warne, Australian legend has transformed a rag-tag team into the team to beat in the competition.

Star players in the other teams haven't done any justifications to their billings or the huge amounts that they were payed in the T20 tournament. Some lesser paid players have played exceedingly well and won matches for their teams.

Three teams are sharing the second spot - Delhi, Punjab and Chennai. Till about a week ago Chennai with Hayden and Hussey was the team to beat but with the departure of key players is looking a little out of sorts.

Hyderabad Deccan Chargers a much fancied team because of some star players is at the bottom of the heap with just 2 points from 6 matches. Huge amounts paid for Symmonds and Afridi has not brought rich dividends.

Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders two other fancied teams are also languishing at the bottom half of the table. Mumbai the most expensive team is not faring any better. Just shows, it's not all about money and star power. A team with reasonable talent and great team spirirt can do wonders and that's what the Rajasthan Royals have done in this edition of the IPL T20 Tournament
