A game that just turn in last over where Delhi beat Jaipur by a minimal margin of 1 run. It was Umesh Yadav who bowled brilliantly the last over when, RR need 12 of 6 ball he considered only a big six and rest was his tight bowling, even Rahane can’t get par of him. It was great match as with 8 wickets in hand RR can’t win the match.
Beegining was great for DD as Shewag fires but soon he get out the runrate goes down and DD were restricted to a low possible total of 152/6. Where only Shewag was significant contributor while Ross Taylor just supported him but played poorly. Meanwhile RR started slow but well keeping all their wicket until Dravid got out in 13th over. Rahane in form batsman for Rajasthan keep on the chase with Hodge and it was 15 need of 12 balls. Rajasthan was keen to win it. Morkel bowled a good over get rid of Hodge and gave just 3 runs. In final over Rahane coudn’t make it all and they lost.
I felt poor Rahane couldn't make it all, oh good Ajinkya Rahane's efforts went in vain and this too bad not for him but for his team as they might not clear for top 4.

It was the the second last over of morkal which changed around. yadev also bowled well. I think what rahane did in last ball was a mistake. He had to made contact with the ball. also shah had to take start of running at the delivery of the ball. both was the mistake.

I don't think t was just one factor if you considered the factor that shewag goes and then settle for low total and then in last over 20 th over of the Delhi the bowlers goes for too much and that was bad 10 run up hand. Morkel was good in 19th over but still 15 run was possible from las tover and 2 runs from last ball was easly getable. But rhane lost his mind and can't post it.

The way Rhane played the game was good but i think he is still in the process of learning and 2 ball from one 4 runs and he can't able to get it it that is what called lossing patince and that he need to learn the presence of mind that he can have in to paly for INDIA may he be good opner but he id not good finihser.

It was a fantastic game. I thought Rajasthan had the match won with 3 overs to go. But the over from Morne Morkel changed the game completely. And then I thought Rajasthan lost their nerve in the end to lose the game by 1 run.
But it was a great game of cricket.
Cheers!

No doubt when Delhi post 152 and rajsthan was at 99 for no loss who would hav ethink that they loss bbut it was all credit for the secondlast over that goes for only 3 changes the course fo game as well as the result.
Well i think it was bdluck that Rajasthan didn't post the win and Delhi don't deserve this victory. I am 1oo sure now that even if Delho reach the final they will not won it.

I will blame both Rhane and Dravid who play too safe and they didn't speed up the inning at early satge they might start hitting after 9 or th 10 over but they didn't so is the case now what will they do by keeping the wicket.
Morne Morkel's bowled a sensational bowling in penultimate over with a wkst and only 3 runs turn the match a little but Umesh Yadav too was great in the end. Rahane hit the first six of the Royals innings, and only in the last when it was allover. Even win was possbile but no bat touch and shah get run out.
Rahane and Rahul Dravid are the most successful opening pair in this edition of the IPL and they showed why with a stand of 99 to set up the chase. Rahane reclaimed the orange cap, make his fifty and reach to 84.
Mahela Jayawardene and Kevin Pietersen were dismissed in the first three overs but Sehwag's full range of shots was on hand to resurrect matters but he too got out and it was poor show from other batman and some good bowling in the end except the final 20th over. Daredevils may have thought their total was not enough but in the end it was too much to have a win.
