Rajasthan Royals Cruised easy win over Knight Riders
Royals have never lost a match when they have put on a score of over 160 and that did not change as they defended mercilessly at their fortress in Jaipur.First time in this year, IPL any captain won the toss and chose to bat. Rahul dravid's royal posted a comfortable total ahead of kkr.
Captain Rahul Dravid chose to open the bowling with left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan but it was medium-pacer Amit Singh who made the first breakthrough. He used a clever change of pace to trap Jacques Kallis into playing early and scooping an easy catch to Dravid at mid-off. Amit's next delivery angled away from Gautam Gambhir, who could not resist a poke and was caught behind. Royals made it three in three when Chavan trapped Brendon McCullum in front off the next ball.
With their three biggest names out and only eight runs in the bank, Knight Riders were going to need something special to compete. If one person was to provide it, that person should have been Yusuf Pathan.
