Rajasthan Royals wins raise them in the second Position

After winning the toss Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne selected bat first. It was a very good decision for the players of the Rajasthan Royals. The day was very hot to field first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The fourth successive victory of the team rises up in the second position of the Score Table. The movement of the captain of the Rajasthan Royals was really eye attracted. These movements reminded me the let Hansie Cronje who always gave tips bally after a ball. Today I saw the same activities to Shane Warne the best leg spinner in the world.

Rajasthan's preferred method has been to chase a target, but this time Warne changed the tactic, and Asnodkar, who opened the innings with Graeme Smith, got into his stride immediately. He cut, drove and slogged for his 60, playing cautiously against Ishant Sharma and Umar Gul - who eventually had him caught trying to pull - and targeting the wayward Ashok Dinda and Ajit Agarkar. He hit Agarkar for three successive fours and reached his fifty off 29 balls.

Yusuf, who also got to his fifty off 29 balls, added 53 with Asnodkar. He went after David Hussey's insipid spin and Agarkar's short-of-length deliveries and helped Rajasthan score 53 between overs 10 and 15. Yusuf got most of his runs by waiting on the back foot and hitting it powerfully to either side of the stumps. He reached his fifty with a massive six driven straight on to the roof. Ravindra Jadeja's cameo - 33 off 19 balls - helped Rajasthan to a competitive score.

The all-rounder of the Rajasthan team showed a top class performance. On the other hand the serial batting downfall cased the defeat of 45 runs. Last but not least, the absence of some top class batsmen such as Ricky Ponting and McCullum was another gap to defeat the match.
