Rajasthan Royals vs. Chennai Super Kings – 1st Innings Report – Indian Premier League – Part 2
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Vijay-c1867 had the Chennai Super Kings in a commanding position by the end of the first 10 overs, as Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals were increasingly concerned with their performance. Hussey had scored a quick-fire 46 runs before eventually
being dismissed and Warne was hoping to add another wicket to his side’s tally as he ran up to bowl the first delivery of the 11th over.
The new man in, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 was then handed another spell with the
bowl, as the Royals looked to apply some pressure yet the batsmen seemed to be oblivious to the change in bowling and continued their assault with 13 runs from his over followed by a confidence shattering 15 runs from the next.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals’ fans were looking gloomy and the Chennai fans were looking on in eager anticipation as Vijay had reached the 50 run mark and seemed all set to open up and go for the fan pleasing big hits. Vijay was dismissed in the 15th
over when an appeal for a run out was met with a call for an instant replay by the umpire. Vijay was short of the crease when the bails were dislodged and the roar of the crowd met the red light that signalled the decision.
The balance of the match seemed to be shifting as the crowd got behind the bowling side hoping for a few quick wickets as Warne continued with the over. There was not much reason for the bowling side to cheer about, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 smashed two sixes
and 3 fours on his way to 31 runs off just 14 deliveries, before Raina was dismissed by A Singh for 43 runs.
Dhoni would smash the bowler for another demoralising six as the Indian team’s skipper and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JA-Morkel-c1613 added another eight runs in the final over to take the Chennai Super Kings to an imposing 196 run total. The Rajasthan Royals fans were hoping their batsmen
could emulate the opposition’s devastating batting display as both sides headed back to the pavillion for the break.
