Rajasthan Royals won the match against the punjab and thanks goes to the brilliant innings by Rahane and Cooper who made 11 runs of just 3 balls and took 4 wickets, 2 catches and 1 runout.Rahane is one player who is being tried in the Indian team but he is not getting good exposure because the top order of Indian team is packed with sachin, sehwag and Gambhir but he is good future prospect for India.And in this match also he showed how good he is and he made 98 off 66 balls.
The surprise came from Cooper who had a great debut in the IPL as he played really well and took 4 wickets in his 1st outing in the IPL.Rajasthan got a good player from West Indies and he was bought at only 50,000 USD.He has been a good addition to the Rajasthan Team.

Rajasthan Royals are showing the same talent that they showed in the first edition of the tournament. A team without too many fancy names, but a set of players who hunt as a team. Today they have also done short work of KKR and are in sight of a huge victory. But the key to their season would be their away form as they have a formidable record at home, but not so good outside.
Cheers!

Rajasthan Royals had a excellent play over the Punjab. Rahane was marked the brilliant player
with all the stuffs in the game. He had really put his best efforts in the batting section. All the others players had also tried their best to give him a friends ship on the pitch. This is the reason why he was lifted to 90S. The only thing which felt me sad is, He missed his century. Hope he will gain it the next matches

Ya congrats to R.royals, they really played well and showed their talent. Youngsters do give their best when given oppurtunity. But now those senior should leave the space for them.

Rajasthan royals have played superbly. They have got a well deserved victory.
What a performance by rahane. He was very destructive against the bowlers and had hit each and every bowler for boundary, though he has missed his deserved century. Don't know what gets wrong whenever he is included in the national team!
Cooper is definitely a surprise package. When I saw his name in playing eleven my reaction was cooper? who? I am sure most of us has reacted in the same way. But he has debuted in ipl very brilliantly.
First ball in the ipl and he had hit a six. Wow! what an introduction. He was even more effective with the ball.
Congrats to rajasthan royals.

It was a good performance from the rajasthan. the cooper was a surprise element. i never heard about him before but he came out with flying colors for rajasthan. In papers punjab was the stronger team than rajasthan with gilcrist, valthatty, marsh, david hussey, praveen kumar, chawla. were rajasthan dont have such big names other than dravid, rahane, sha and botha. but in he end it was the rajasthan royals who made there flags fly high.

Ya congrats royals. They have done this without their very own Warne. Cooper a great addition this time. But the real challenges are still to come.
