http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajit-Agarkar-c972 says, Rajasthan were in driver's seat most of the match - Cricket News Update
Delhi Daredevils' fast bowler, Ajit Agarkar, agreed with the Rajasthan Royals skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528 was the turning point of the match, played at Delhi’s home ground, Feroz Shah Kotla,
on Sunday, April 29, 2012.
While speaking to the media reporters after the match, the 34-year-old right-arm Maharashtra medium pacer admitted that the tourists remained in commanding position for a majority part of the match, before Morne Morkel came to bowl the second last over of
game. Delhi’s South African import conceded just 3 runs in that over and claimed Brad Hodge’s crucial wicket to turn the tables in his side’s way.
"There is always hope in Twenty20 till the last ball is bowled,” said the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils won the last ball thriller by one run. “They (Rajasthan) were in the driver's seat in the majority part of the match till Morne's over.
Twelve runs from the last over is always a tough ask," he added further.
Chasing an average total of 152 for 6, set by Virender Sehwag-led Delhi batting line up, Rajasthan Royals were always in a winning position with the current orange cap holder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajinkya-Rahane-c970 at the crease. Rahane Shared a 99-run opening stand with skipper
Rahul Dravid, before putting another 42 runs on the board with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625 held nerves,
conceding just 10 runs, as Daredevils won the thriller by one run.
Asked whether they were satisfied after putting 152 runs on the board, Agarkar said, "Probably not. We would have like to get a few more but the wicket was not that quick as in the last match. It was little bit on the slower side and shot making was difficult."
Both teams will face off each other in the return leg of the tournament on May 1, 2012, this time at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837’s home ground, Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
