Rajasthan Royals the First IPL Champions - What a Glory !!!!

by Raj for Future Makers    June 01, 2008

Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings by three wickets in a thrilling Indian Premier League final. This is the maximum entertainer.

 Wao what a match. In last over Royals were in need of 8 runs and they took it in the last ball. What a final and this is 20-20

It was a cat-and-mouse battle at the DY Patil Stadium. Unlike in the two semi-finals, neither team held a clear advantage at the end of the first innings. The Chennai Super Kings paced their innings well, not trying anything too rash, and a collective effort took them to a fighting 163. LAST RUNS were hit by SHANE WARNE.

Rajasthan Royals, who chose to field after winning their 11th toss, weren't as dominant with the ball as they've usually been but Yusuf Pathan's three strikes ensured that the game never really got away. The surface was expected to help the faster men but it was bowlers with variety who prospered as the ball occasionally stopped on the bat. A slow outfield hindered the batting side early on but Suresh Raina's meaty hitting rendered it redundant by the end.
