Rajastan Royals

Mascernhas will not return to IPL

Dimitri Mascernhas, did not get his county (Hampshire) nod to join Rajasthan Royals team for semi-finals. Hampshire team is in a difficult position. Mascernhas is the captain of Hampshire.
This might not come as a big disappointment for Rajasthan Royals. They are already brimming with players who are in fine form and there is [...]


Invincible Royale

Rajasthan Royals, lost only 2 matches so far. One with Mumbai Indians and the other with Daredevils. How is that for consistency. Who ever plays for Royals, performs. Who continues to play for Royals continues to perform. They have the chutzpah to drop Shane Watson and go into the match with Super Kings. It doesn’t [...]


Rajastan Royals regain top position

Good batting from Rajastan Royals and some insane batting from Deccan Chargers has helped Rajastan Royals  regain top position in points table. They are sitting pretty with 12 points to be followd by Kings XI Punjab. After an ordinary performance in their previous game they came back strong to win their battle against Chargers.
Chargers started [...]

Lone English player joins IPL

That is Dimitri Mascarenhas. He is the lone english player who was allowed to play in IPL. Mascarenhas has attracted a bid of $100,000 from Rajastan Royals.  He is a batting all-rounder and his explosive batting skills are a welcome addition to the IPL which has lost some of the powerful hitters this week. Othe english [...]

Oh No! Not another aussie

Not that anything wrong with it, but its getting funnier for the IPL. Standing for Indian Premier League its the australian players who are rooling the roost. The performances atleast. Its Shane Watson who took Rajastan Royals home with 61 runs and 2 wickets and was declared man of the match. Can someone from the [...]


Royal Challengers reeling at 121/7

With all the controversy about Harbhajan Singh slapping incident, I almost forgot that there is a match happening. Royal Challengers are reeling at 121 and looks like they can reach 160. This might not be a good score for the Bangalore pitch. Remember Brendon McCullum’s Innings?
 I should really commend Rajastan Royals. They are the cheapest [...]


Rajastan Royals win a thriller

17 runs needed from 6 balls. Shane Warne with a look on his face saying “impossible is nothing” batted with poise. After  a single by Pankaj Singh, Warne is back on strike and Royals needed 14 runs from 4 balls. He sent the third ball for four and followed it up with 2 sixers. The bowler [...]


Yousuf Pathan hits the fastest half-century of IPL

Hyderabad has witnessed some bold hitting of cricket ball today. No, it did not come from another aussie nor a kiwi. It is tall, lanky lad from Baroda, Yousuf Pathan most famously known as Irfan Pathan’s brother.
He did it in 20 balls with 6 sixers and 2 fours. This innings brings Deccan Chargers back to [...]
