Rajasthan Royals win by 31 runs

A fantastic win by RR at home tonight, First of all Rahane with a superb innings of 98. The bowlers then came out and showed Dravid he has a real team of talent this year, Kevon Cooper looks to be an absolute steal at $50,000. 11* in 3 balls, 4 wickets, 2 catches and a run out!

  • Dravid: "A fantastic night for us, a great way to start the tournament with our young players doing well, it's great to see Rahane get a big score, we have seem him playing so well in the nets so he deserves it. It was also lovely to see Kevon Cooper producing such a performance on his opening game."
  • Gilchrist: "I think we ran it out well to the end, we were outplayed and in hindsight I probably got the toss wrong. Rahane played a beautiful innings and they just got 30 runs too many. There were some positives out here tonight and even though we have plenty to work on we won't take this too hard, we will get back to work and all credit to Rajasthan Royals."

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
