Rajasthan Royals have started IPL 5 in a similar vein to their successful title win in the first season. Already the Sawai Man Singh stadium looks like fortress as the Royals chalk up second home win out of two. On the other hand KKR already look out of the IPL, too tense and too tight to really be serious contenders.
What are your views on the match?
Cheers!

It seems like the first season of IPL will repeat now also. Now the RR is top of the table. RR was considered as one of the weakest team. but they are now playing well as a team under the captaincy of dravid. The problem with KKR is seems to be same as previous IPL- lack of team playing. If they plays with good team coordination then they will be in the top.

They have been the under dogs in the IPL and they have shown now that they can perform good and they had a good start in the IPL with two wins.KKR had to work hard as they have lost two in two and are in the bottom of the table.They have good players and are capable of making to the semis but they have to work hard.and the credit of the match should go to Cooper as he took 3 wickets and is the holder of Purple cap with 7 wickets in just 2 games.And the credit also goes to Hodge and Maneria as they took the score to a compatible score of 164 and then KKR reached to 142 only and Rajasthan won the match.and they are at the top of the table.

I think Harsha summed it up perfectly in the post match discussion. KKR seems to be playing under so much pressure that they are almost very inhibited in their play. All other teams go out to play and have fun and that is why the results show off. As far as Rajasthan Royals are concerned, looks like another good season in front of them.
Cheers!
