Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians by 2 runs in an absolute thriller

admin — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:07:17 +0000

Match 45 of IPL T20 season 2 was very important for both Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians as a win would almost bring them near the semis while a defeat would virtually end their hope of securing a semi-final berth. Shane Warne won the toss and decided to bat. Rob Quiney (51 off 40 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja (42 off 32 balls) batted brilliantly but the rest of the batsmen could not capitalize after their departure and they ended at 145/7 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indains did not get a good start in their first six overs as a result of a major shuffling of the batting order where domestic Indian players were sent instead of the seniors. The required run rate kept of increasing and Mumbai Indians kept on losing wickets steadily under the pressure of scoring big runs. Even some good hitting by Sachin Tendulkar (40 off 30 balls) and Abhishek Nayar (35 off 18 balls) could not save the Mumbai Indians as they lost out all wickets in 19.5 overs. It was a trilling match and the death overs were nerve-wrecking as Rajasthan Royals managed to pull out a win even when 5 runs were only required in the last over with 3 wickets left. Shane Warne was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant and crucial spell of 3 wickets for 24 runs.

Rajasthan Royals suffer defeat from Kings XI Punjab in 15th match of IPL T20

admin — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:39:28 +0000

Winners of IPL T20 season 1 Rajasthan Royals are not looking the same side this year. Kings XI Punjab beat Warne’s boys by 27 runs to score their second consecutive win in IPL T20 season 2 while Rajasthan Royals suffered their second consecutive defeat. Yuvraj Singh won the toss and decided to bat. The Rajasthan Royals bowlers bowled exceptionally well in the initial overs and the Kings XI Punjab were reduced to just 48/4 in 8.2 overs. But then Kumar Sangakkara (60 off 51 balls) and Irfan Pathan (39 off 33 balls) batted brilliantly to guide the team to a competitive total of 139/6 in their 20 overs. Amongst the Rajasthan bowlers, Kamran Khan and Munaf Patel bowled very well and finished at 2/15 and 2/24 respectively in their 4 overs. The target of 140 seemed quite easy but Rajasthan Royals had a severe batting collapse and ended with only 112/7 in their 20 overs. Shane Warne and Ravindra Jadeja did considerably well for the Rajasthan Royals batting while Yusuf Abdulla, Irfan Pathan and Piyush Chawla excelled with the ball. Kumar Sangakkara was declared the Man of the Match for his 60 runs.

Rajasthan Royals has a thrilling super over win over Kolkata Knight Riders

admin — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:29:13 +0000

Both Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders came into this 10th Match of IPL T20 season 2 with one loss each in their belt. Both of them are owned by Bollywood stars in the form of Shilpa Shetty and Shahrukh Khan respectively. Both of them had one more thing in common in IPL 2 which is that both teams had one of their matches affected by rain. While Rajasthan Royals last match was a rain washout, Kolkata Knight Riders won their last match on D/L method. In today’s match, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Brendon McCullum won the toss and put Rajasthan Royals to bat. Rajasthan Royals’ batting did not impress enough and they managed only 150/6 in their 20 overs with a 42 off 21 balls from Yusuf Pathan. Kolkata had two of its main batsmen firing with Chris Gayle (41 off 33 balls) and Sourav Ganguly (46 off 30 balls) playing quite well. The match was the most interesting match of IPL 2 bettering the previous Super Kings vs Delhi Daredevils match of the day. The whole Kolkata Knight Riders innings was favorite both the sides at different positions. Even in the last over, Knight Riders needed just 7 off 6 balls. But in the second last ball, Sourav Ganguly got out and it became 2 needed from 1 ball. Then Ishant Sharma got run out in the last ball but he had already run the first run and so the match was a tie. Then came the first Super Over of IPL season 2 to decide the match outcome. In the first Super Over, Kolkata Knight Riders took the bat while Rajasthan Royals took the ball. The batting responsibility for the Kolkata Knight Riders were taken by Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum and Sourav Ganguly while new rookie Kamran Khan was trusted by Warne for the over. Kamran Khan also bowled the crucial last over of the Knight Rider innings which resulted in the Super Over. Through Chris Gayle hit a few boundaries but Kamran bowled a good line and KKR managed only 15 runs in their Super Over. Then the Rajasthan Royals Super Over came where Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja and Dimitri Mascarenhas were chosen to take the batting responsibility by Warne while Kolkata Knight Riders gave the bowling to Sri Lankan medium pacer Ajantha Mendis. Yusuf Pathan hit the first ball for a 6 setting the momentum for the Royals. He took 2 runs from the next ball and then again hit a huge 6 from the following delivery. Chasing the 16 runs target set by KKR for the Super Over, Yusuf Pathan hit 4 runs off the fourth ball making their Super Over tally to 18 runs and surpassing the target easily. From the Rajasthan Royals squad, Kamran Khan took 3/18 while Shane Warne took 2/25. Yusuf Pathan was declared the Man of the Match for his blistering knocks during the Rajasthan Royals innings as well as the Super Over.

Rajasthan Royals lose warm up match to Cape Cobras

admin — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 22:53:08 +0000

Rajasthan Royals had a warm up match against Cape Cobras today named “Clash of the Champions” . Cape Cobras are the South African domestic T20 champions and Rajasthan Royals were the winners of IPL season 1 and so it was marketed as the clash of the the winners. The match started interestingly with Cape Cobras winning the toss and deciding to bat. The Rajasthan Royals team was mainly filled with the Indian domestic players of Rajasthan Royals. The Indian pacers of Rajasthan Royals started out well with Amit Singh, Trivedi and Kamran Khan. Kamran Khan was more prominent of the lot although he bowled only a single over giving only one run and taking a wicket. His pace was good and he was also extracting good swing from the wicket. The Cobras struggled against the Indian pacers and were 65/5 after 11.5 overs. But then their batsmen started hitting well and the Cobras ended at a respectable score of 142/8 in their allotted 20 overs.

The Rajasthan Royals batsmen were quite impressive initially with Victorian batsman Rob Quiney (34 off 22 balls) hitting the Cobras for fours and sixes. But then the rest of the Royals batsmen got out cheaply with some very good bowling and fielding performance by the Cobras. Shane Warne (21 off 19 balls) tried to save the innings but it was too late. At last they got all out in 19 overs for 115 runs and the Cobras won the match by 27 runs.

However, the positives of the game for Rajasthan Royals was that their international players looked in good from with Quiney, Warne and Henderson looking good. The other good thing was the Indian bowlers in RR squad bowled some good spells too especially Kamran Khan and Amit Singh.

The Rajasthan Royals squad are looking a good unit though they do not look as powerful as the other squads and I doubt if they would be able to retain their title this year. Let us hope that the Rajasthan Royals squad performs well when they play their full side in the IPL T20 season 2.
