Royal Challengers Bangalore

E-mail Print

The Royal Challengers look a solid mix of experience and youth. Dravid, Kumble, Chanderpaul, Kallis and Boucher have played over 500 Test matches between them but they remain untested in the T20 variety.

They are particularly meaty in the allrounders department with several players doubling up as bowling or wicketkeeping options.

One of their advantages would be not having a lot of players from Australia and New Zealand. It means they will have a full-strength squad, more or less.

IPL 2008 Winners

Rajastan Royals are IPL 2008 Champions
The final of the Indian Premier League promised to be an absorbing contest as Chennai notched up a competitive 163-5 in the final against Jaipur at the DY Patil Stadium here on Sunday.

After a colourful opening ceremony delayed the match by 15 minutes, all-rounder Yusuf Pathan took centre-stage to return a fine bowling analysis of 3-22 that pegged the opposition back and prevented a free flow of runs in the middle overs despite a steady start provided by Parthiv Patel (38).

Suresh Raina and Mahendra Dhoni came up with brisk knocks later in the innings to keep the team’s hopes alive. Left-handed Raina scored a quick 43 off 30 balls and Dhoni 29 off 17 balls, both batsmen hitting two sixes and a four each.
