The Rajasthan Royals lead by Rahul Dravid, put up a fight against the Mumbai Indians and in the end losing by 28 runs in a well contested match. Winning the toss Dravid selected to field, but sadly the decision was proved wrong as Mumbai went on to make 197 runs in 20 overs thanks to some hard hitting by Kieron Pollard. In reply Rajasthan lost an early wicket in Dravid who only managed to score 3 runs in the second over. Another wicket fell soon after and then there was a pretty good partnership going between Orange cap holder Ajinkya Rahane and Owais Shah before Rahane got out for 40. Rahane played beautiful and still holds the orange cap.
Owais Shah then went on to make a 76 which at one point looked dangerous to Mumbai Indians and came Mallinga and cleaned shah up. Which pretty much ended the game, Ashok Meneria gave a shot but failed and wickets fell soon after Meneria's dismissal.
We are proud that Rajasthan Royals a team with no big names lead by RD gave a scare to Mumbai Indians.
