Dada Roars tough, Pathan steals the day

Thrills, Suspenses and a true momentum of IPL. Dada, Pathan, Kamran Khan and above all Shane Warne make a night to remember. In the most exhilarating match till date of IPL2 was earlier conquered truly by Yusuf pathan. Cape Town was packed full with Dada’s supporters and Dada roared as a true Bengal Tiger.

Batting first Rajasthan Royals managed to score 150 in 20 overs. Pathan played a remarkable inning of 42 and in final over Raut hit some good strokes. Khight Riders were all set to chase the target. Gayle hit some magnificent sixes but got out at 41. Now came the most controversial player of IPL season 2. Sourav Ganguly played good strokes and made a way clean for victory. Paving such a way and running alone it was what a player like Dada is always expected but Dada fell down at the end giving Rajasthan Royals a clean victory. Knight Riders scored exactly 150 runs making it an equal run proposition.


Yusuf Pathan's joy knows no bounds, Kolkata Knight Riders v Rajasthan Royals, IPL, 10th match, Cape Town, April 23, 2009

Then came the heart breaking Super Over. Pathan was in no mood to spare the Knights and gave Rajasthan a much needed first win of the tournament.

Bet Bazar was supporting Knight Riders this time but in a war between Shilpa and Shahrukh, Shilpa tasted the sweet smile of winning moments. Shane Warne makes again a motivating captain in him…
