Ajinkya Rahane aap Ajinkya raho!!! what an inning. Half the runs of RR were scored by this guy alone. He scored fantastic 91 out of 189, played entire 20 overs inning and remained not out. Mr. Dependable!!! He is under right kind of leadership and coaching i.e. of Sir Rahul Dravid. What a terrific batsman Ajinkya has been evolved not only for T20 format but any format. Adjusting his skills to any format of the game and still to remain Mr. Dependable, who knows better than the WALL (Rahul Dravid) himself.
One more thing I could observe on the TV that when RR were batting and it was 1 wkt down, happened to see that three players were padded up to get in viz. Faulkner, Sanju Samson (terrfic inning in RR's last game) and Binny. Still the one who arrived on the fall of a second wicket was Karun Nair. The point to be noted here is the option Rahul Dravid and RR team keeps ready for the way game takes it's turn. The attitude to win was being displayed right from the camp, today by RR.
I had felt that RR has almost won this game the way DD took off, yet it was quite a fight they put up till the end to lose the game by only 14 runs. The opening duo of DD who have been quite a hit and been into limelight this season lost wickets pretty early today without any significant contribution. J P Duminy tried best to defend the fort however did not get very good support from the other side except that of Yuvaraj while Yuvaraj did not seem quite comfortable today and had to leave the field when he was on 22 out of 18 balls.
Another good game of IPL 2015, on pretty decent wicket which did not change much throughout the game, with quite a grass on it, favoring pace attack.
Good night!
