Two veterans played their dream game, which helped Royal challengers for a thrilling victory against the previous champions of IPL. Rahul Dravid's innings of 66 runs from 48 balls helped Royal Challengers to score a formidable total of 133 runs. Then Anil Kumble succeeded to get 5 wickets for just five runs in 3.1 overs which include one maiden.
The super star of RC, Kevin Piterson could only score 32 runs and all others disappointed with bat. Dimitri Mascarenhas was the successful bowler for Rajasthan Royals; he took 3 wickets for 20 runs. Shane Warne and Munaf took 2 wickets each.
According to the batting line up of Rajasthan Royals, 133 is not a great target. But they were totally murdered by the good bowling show by Kumble, Praveen Kumar and Jesse Ryder. Yusuf Pathan, Tyron Henderson and Ravindra Jadeja scored 11 runs each. They were all out for just 58 runs in 15.1 overs. The most humiliating defeat for the existing champions.
After the match Kevin Pietersen, captain of Royal Challengers said “You can't buy Kumble's experience in any shop in the world. He is a legend, a genius and I am really happy for the boys."
