RAJASTHAN ROYALS

Hi,
Last year at the inaugural IPL I was a blind RR and KKR supporter. KKR disappointed but RR did not and I was overjoyed when RR won the trophy.
This year the KKR had an inauspicious start. If the team is deciding on the captain just a week before the start of the competition it is bound to suffer. They lost my support when Dada was ousted.
RR continued to carry my support but when they were all out for 58 and every bowler was being hauled for chucking the hopes seemed slim. Sohail Tanvir was not playing and Shane Watson got injured just before he was due to play, Greame Smith could not take advantage of home conditions but the magician continued to mesmerize and opponents froze like rabbits against searchlights when he exposed his brilliance.
We had a betting a couple of weeks back and I put my bet on Kings XI, DD, DC and CSK making the semis. RR was not there and I felt my selection to be a logical elimination. But even today when just a loss could mean that I mean I cheer for RR. This is the magic of Shane Warne. He can perform miracles. Can the no hopers make it twice in a row.
Best wishes to my team and captain courageous.
Manoj
