"We are a champion team and we need to perform like a champion team. That has been the message everyone has been talking about," Kamran told Cricinfo from Cape Town after his evening prayers on Saturday. Of course, the fact that his captain has enough faith in him is not lost on Kamran. "Warne always keeps encouraging and motivating me. That, obviously, gives confidence.

It seems that Kamran Khan very intelligent about his bowling. Especially, he was praised for his smiley face during the big pressure and which is very positive for bowlers. A bright future is blinking for him; I think no doubt about it. If he would more times to take coaching then he would get more confidence in this season.

IPL 2009: Anil Kumble: the most wicket taker, 5 wickets in an innings

Anil Kumble has drawn the attentions of the cricket fan all over the world again. He has achieved another record in Twenty20 formatted cricket beside his one-day internationals and Test cricket history. He is play on the side of Bangalore Royal Challengers. In the 2^nd match of IPL 2009 season 2, BRC has its first match along with RR and BRC got wins in their first match.

In the previous article I informed wrong and mentioned that Anil Kumble has picked up 6 wickets in stead of 5 wickets of Rajasthan Royals. Wining toss Bangalore Royal Challengers elected to bat first and faced batting tragedy earlier and cashed only 133 runs from 20 over and lost wickets.

Although at the end of the first innings it seems that winning toss and batting first was not very good decision but when Rajasthan Royals batsmen admitted defeat to the Bangalore Royals Challengers’ bowlers after short breaks. Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble preformed his best bowling figure in the tournament and has taken 5 wickets just for 5 runs. He took YK Pathan, RA Jadeja, SK Warne, MM Patel and Kamran Khan’s wicket.

IPL 2009: 2nd match result and highlights, Anil Kumble takes 5 wickets

The second match of Indian Premier League season 2 was between Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore Royal challengers was held in the same ground where the 1^st match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indian was commenced on, at Newlands Cape Town. MI has won the match and felt in heavy competition. In the 2^nd match Bangalore Royals Challenger won the toll and elected bat first.

From the first time Bangalore Royals Challenger felt huge batting downfall lost two wickets in the first over. It lost JD Ryder, RV Uthappa and LRPL Taylor, the three premier wickets just adding 17 runs. This sequence was continued after short breaks.

Mascarenhas picked up 3 wickets for 20 runs Shane Wane and MM Patel took 2 wickets each.

Rajasthan Royals repeated the same things as Bangalore Royal challengers did during the batting time. It lost earlier three wickets just for 14 runs and BRC packed them in 58 runs. Three batsmen scored same and highest runs and that was 11 runs. It is really unbelievable that the champions had to be booked in 58 runs.

Anil Kumble figured the best bowling and picket up 5 wickets in an innings just for 5 runs and P Kumar and JD Ryder picket 2 wickets each.

It is clear the Anil Kumble will be the star of the tournament and Man of the match. Anil Kumble is the second man who secured 6 wickets in an innings. In the last year Sohail Tanvir picked up 6 wickets for 14 runs. Now Kumble holds the best bowling record.

4 players have achieved the maximum six awards. And Man of the Match goes to Rahul Dravid for outstanding job in this innings because he holds the teams searing during the bad time of the team and scored 66 runs.

IPL 2009: Bangalore Royal Challengers v Rajasthan Royals 2nd match Newlands, Cape Town

In the inaugural day IPL cricket tournament 2009, two matches will be kicked off at the same play ground after the opening ceremony. The second crickets match between the champions of IPL 2008 Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore Royal Challengers at Newlands in Cape Town. This is the big challenge for 2008 Rajasthan Royals; it is a big challenge because they are the title hold of the tournament.

 

Bangalore Royal Challengers could play any good cricket matches in the last season and just got 4 wins out of 14 matches. That is why it was in the 7^th position of the standings tables. They got two wins over Deccan Chargers one was Mumbai Indians and other was Chennai Super Kings. Despite of some top ranked players and under R Dravid’s captaincy, Bangalore Royal Challengers had to face huge difficulties. And, may be this is the main cause BRC will change their leadership that will be handed over the England’s former captain Kevin Pietersen.

 

Rajasthan Royals is only team that was leader by the foreign Captaincy-Coaching. Shane Warne is really talent; he proved it in the first season of DLF IPL cricket tournament. To tell truth, Warne is appropriate to get honor as best captaincy in IPL Cricket League. By picking up 16 wickets from 15 matches SK Warne stood second best wicket takers of the inaugural Indian Premier League. This year, he was away from cricket for his fitness but now he has gained satisfactory and will take the lead of the team.

 

In the home match, Bangalore Royal Challengers beat to Rajasthan Royals for 7 wickets at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore and in away in match Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur beat for 65 runs. In the home twenty20 tournament only LRPL Taylor and Parveen Kumar did well but others could not reach to any honorable score. Similar drama replied in the away T20 cricket matches. Only Captain Rahul Dravid scored 75 runs for 36 balls and was not out. That proved that the franchise spent huge money to buy the club but not for developing the cricket teams. But this year, they brought some changes intellectually so it could perform better this year.

 

Rajasthan Royals acted upon BRC in both matches home and away. Shane Warne, captain RR bowled best of his careen in IPL T20 and picked 3 wickets for 19 runs. And the opposite captain Rahul Dravid played similar roll and scored 75 runs in the same match. Just losing one wicket of SA Asnodkar, RR scored 197runs. GC Smith and SR Watson were not-out as well as 75 and 46 but SA Asnodkar scored 50 runs from 44 balls.

 

Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers Shane Warne and Munaf Patel picket up 4 wickets each from the two matches and Sohail Tanvir took 3 and SR Watson picked 2 wickets. But, the Bangalore Royal Challengers bowlers showed very weak performances in both matches and no bowler could take more that one wicket (who took wicket) from the tow matches. Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers drew their manes of three in the top five lists as a highest wicket taker.

 

This year, the DLF IPL T20 is going to hold in South Africa. Although it is very good place but totally unknown for most of the young Indian players except International players but they all have aim to play a positive crickets. 

Kamran Khan is the new-young pacer of Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals is the champions of the inaugural Indian Premier League (DLF IPL T20). In this team there many experienced players from different countries of the world who have played a lot of International crickets too. It is the only club, which is leaded by the foreign captain-coach, Australian Leg-spinner Shane Warne, and some quality bowlers Shaun Tait, Indian Munaf Patel, South African Morne Morkel are leading the team. Recently, the team has been highlighted by the media about recruitment of a young new bowler Kamran Khan who is just 18. 

His coach, Naushan Khan, told Cricinfo that his ward, who joined him five years ago, was a complete novice when he came to Mumbai from his hometown, Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. "He was very raw when he first met me, and most of his experience was, and remains, with a tennis ball," said Naushan. "We have worked on his action and tried to develop him into a proper pace bowler. Kamran's work will hopefully start to yield results. I don't think it has really hit Kamran yet that he will be in the same squad as so many big players.

"We entered him into the Mumbai Police squad for a Twenty20 tournament at the DY Patil Stadium recently, and he impressed plenty there. Darren Berry happened to be there and he was impressed with Kamran."

Darren Berry, Rajasthan Royals director of coaching, was impressed with the performances of the new young inexperienced pacer Kamran Khan and that is why he has got the opportunity playing with such big bowlers. So the Rajasthan Royals fans have to wait for the second season of Indian Premier League that will be outset on April 2009. 

Shilpa Shetty-Raj Kundra 11.7% owner Rajasthan Royals minority stake

Rajasthan Royals is the champions of the inaugural Indian Premier League. By beating Chennai Super Kings in the final it became the champions. This was the only team which was leaded by a foreign captain. Shane Warn was that person who was the captain in aside during the match running time and was the Coach off-time of the tournament.

Recently, the team is going to sell a part of the minority stake to others. There is a news is in media that Shilpa Shetty and her partner Raj Kundra has bought the 12% stake of the Champions of IPL20 2008. Even Shilpa Shetty herself told it by meeting to the press men.

Business Standard reported:

Speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, Shetty said: “It is an honour to be associated with Rajasthan Royals, I hope for a re-run from them this time too. I will help by providing my expertise in merchandising and music videos — basically to develop the creative part of the franchisee.”

Shilpa Shetty is the fourth bollywood superstar who has become the stake holders of any Indian Premier League (IPL T20). Previously, Shah Ruka Khan along with Juhi Chawla(although she withdrew her franchise) stake is the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Pretty Zinta is the for KingXI Punjab. So, Shilpa is the fourth stars.

The Rajasthan Royals was the at least franchise of Indian Premier League. Emerging Media group, Lachlan Murdoch, Sir. Aditya S Chellaram and Suresh Chellaram was the previous stake holders and the new and 11.7% stake holder bollywood actress and Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty and her business partner Raj Kundra. They have become the partners by paying approximately US $15.4 million.

Rajasthan Royals got victory in IPL T20

After passing a suffocating moment Rajasthan Royals has got victory by 3 wickets. This is a great victory for the team. By beating Chennai Super Kings Rajasthan Royals achieve the trophy of the Indian Premier League.

Rajasthan Royals played well form the very beginning. It just lost 2 matches and everything was the positive side of the tournament. The Captain Shane Warne’s role was very constructive that inspire all the players all time.

Who will win in the IPL T20 1st semi-final?

The 1^st semi-final between will be more competitive at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Both the teams is strong enough to beat each other. Although everyone analyze the previous results what they did in the previous matches but cricket is full of uncertain. Now it is difficult to say what the result would come or who will win?

1^st semi-final will be taken place on 30 May 2008 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils. Rajasthan Royals is the lowest bid team among the teams of Indian Premier League Twenty20 (IPLT20) tournament but they showed the best presentation in the tournament. They just lost 3 among the 14 matches. Although they lost in the three, including the last match but fought like a hero.

Rajasthan Royals Captain, the world famous spinner is leading the team as a foreign captain in the IPLT20 inaugural tournament. He is playing two roles (coach and captain) for Rajasthan Royals Teams. His accomplished movements both field and out of field making crazy anyone. During the fielding time, it seems he is inspiring all the players behind them even when he spending time sitting by the pavilion. I think audiences are observing it with an enthusiastic eye.

We cannot neglect Delhi Daredevils as a poor effort team for the semifinal of IPLT20. The team did well in the first time but day after day it goes down. It can beat any team anytime. So it will not be proper act to evaluate as a weak team. Virender Sehwag is one of the efficient T20 players. During the inaugural Twenty20 world championship tournament he played an important role. Even some the experienced player like Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, Farveez Maharoof and Shoaib Malik.

Everyone learns form one’s faults. Why not Delhi Daredevils? Gautam Gambhir is the second highest total runs holder in the Indian Premier League and V Seheag is holding the 7^th positions of the record chat.

Many record holders are playing in Rajasthan Royals too. GC Smith, Sohail Tanvir, Shane Warne is also the record holders in its own fields.

Rajasthan Royals has confirmed to lead IPL T20 Semi-Final

The top of the point table has acquired by the Rajasthan Royals. After getting the victory against Kolkata Knight Riders, it has confirmed it position to play in Semi-final of Indian Premier League IPL T20.

The standing is Rajasthan Royals actual right that they had to achieve. The team just lost two matches out of eleven matches. This is a great accomplishment for the Rajasthan Royals.

The foreign captain leaded only team in the Indian Premier League IPL T20 Rajasthan Royals was felt in defeat in the first two match but its seven victories in a row is unbelievable. After joining some bowlers, batsmen and all-rounder the team is performing very well especially all-rounder Sohail Tanvir, batsmen Graham Smith.

I strongly recommended about the three key players of the team is Graham Smith, Sohail Tanvir and YK Pathan. It is clear that these are leading the team with iron hands.

The total points of the team have recorded 18 after winning 9 matches out of 11. The Net RR is +0.950.

Rajasthan Royals confirm to play Semi-Final?

Rajasthan Royals has won the 30^th match. This victory has increased the expectation to play in the Semi-Final of Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament (IPLT20). It has been played 8 among the 14 selected matches and got six prestigious victories. If the team just wins one match it will be confirmed for semi-final. At least seven victory need to be qualified for semi-final.

The match 30^th is has an interesting similarities. Both the teams have held the second position in the point tables. Rajasthan is on the second top and Deccan Chargers in standing in the second from the bottom. Rajasthan Royals Captain Shane Warne won the toss and invited Deccan Chargers bat first. The Deccan Chargers is leading by Australian wicket keeper Adam Gilchrest.

Deccan Chargers v Rajasthan Royals: 1st Innings Reviews (30th match of IPLT20)

The match 30^th is has an interesting similarities. Both the teams have held the second position in the point tables. Rajasthan is on the second top and Deccan Chargers in standing in the second from the bottom. Rajasthan Royals Captain Shane Warne won the toss and invited Deccan Chargers bat first. The Deccan Chargers is leading by Australian wicket keeper Adam Gilchrest.

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.

A suffocated Victory of Rajasthan Royalas

All excitement is ongoing surrounding Shane Warne leaded Rajasthan Royals after a remarkable win against VVS luxman leaded Deccan Chargers. It was totally different an exciting matches. No one thought that Rajasthan Royals will take the winner credit.

Depending on A Symonds 117 runs Deccan Chargers scored 214 runs by losing wickets. RG Sharma also added the flow of the runs. Rajasthan Royals bowlers were totally helpless to the Deccan Chargers.

Running behind the runs DC scored, Rajasthan Royals reached 186 runs just losing 4 wickets and there were 3 overs still left. The match was totally favor on Rajasthan Royals but Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s two big wickets of M Kaif and G Smith in an over dropped all the hopes.

After this over RP Singh took another wicket of RA Jadeja who did well in the previous match by bowled out and D Salunkhe run out fall Rajasthan Royals seriously trouble. The 19^th over came to end and Deccan Chargers’ skipper VVS Luxman hand over the ball to Andrew Symonds to dominate Shane Warne but failed completely. In this over Symonds gave 19 runs where Shane Warne hit two sixes and one four. As a result Rajasthan Royals won the match by 3 wickets with one ball remaining. YK Pathan’s 2 wickets and 61 runs brought the crown of the Man of the Match.

The first Two Match Summary of Rajasthan Royals and next

Rajasthan Royals is lowest bid team in the IPL T20 (Indian Premier League, Twenty20). The owner of the team is acquired by Emerging Media group for US$67 and will represent the city of Rajasthan. This is the only team that is leading by a foreign Captain. He is none but World top Spinner and first 700 wicket takers in the Test Match, Shane Warne.

From the beginning, he is leading all of his associates confidently. He is leading Rajasthan Royals not only as a Captain but also Coach too. Although he did not hunt any wicket in the first match along with Delhi Daredevils but in the second match his magic defeated the batsmen of Kings XI Punjab.

The fall of the third wicket put Watson on the defensive briefly. Sensing the need to build a partnership, he held one end up and waited patiently for the bad deliveries. Irfan Pathan got a couple to beat the bat but Punjab weren't prepared for the onslaught that was to come. One particular heave from Watson was so powerful it split the bat in half and yet just carried on over the long-on boundary. Wielding a new bat, Watson took on James Hopes, lofting one over his head on one knee, before nearly decapitating Irfan with a straight drive.

Here I want to remind an advertisement that showed in different satellite TV Channel. “The young man who supported Kings XI Punjab did not care the old man who supported the Rajasthan Royals”. But in the field the outlook-inside was totally changed. Rajasthan Royals counters so hard to Kings XI Punjab with bat-ball in the field.

Both the team Rajasthan Royals and King XI Punjab will meet again on 28 May 2008 at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh. So we have to wait for that day.

Sehwag is one of the depending batsmen in Indian team and did well during the Twenty20 World Cup championship in South Africa. He is the icon play in the team. Although there some good players such as Gautam Gambhir, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Shoaib Malik and Glenn McGrath but it seems that the team is not strong enough.

The newly installed floodlight Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi has selected as the home ground for the Delhi DareDevils team. It is going the play its first math in the DLF Indian Premier League in this ground. Greg Shipperd has been called as a coach and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar the brand ambassador.

He is also the coach of the Rajasthan Royals. There are some quality cricketers in the team, such as Graeme Smith, Mohammad Kaif, Justin Langer, Younis Khan, Kamran Akmal, Sohail Tanvir. Sohail Tanvir is a player who showed a great performance during the inaugural Twenty20 World Championship. The new style bowler also well in batting too.
