Gambhir wins toss and bowls first !

Shakib proved why he is ranked best all rounder in the world by picking up a wicket in the second ball of the IPL match against RR.

Now RR are 36/1, with Dravid on 14. Ashok Menaria, who was in such ominous form last match, has just hit Shakib past point for four. RR 45/1.

Menaria lofts Abudlla into the stands and RR are 69/1.

Dravid tries to swing Pathan and is clean bowled and then Menaria, after a good innings of 27, lobbs one back to Pathan and suddenly Pathan has picked two wickets with his off breaks and RR are 79/3. Shane Watson and Ross Taylor are batting now.

Watson starts his six hitting and lofts Shakib for six and now RR are 101/3. ( Shakib must be having the scene of Watson hitting 15 sixes in his mind, but he did not flinch ! ).

Ross Taylor swings Balaji for two sixes and RR are 116/3. He started magnanimously ( first ball hit for six ) and ended the over magnanimously ( the last ball hit for six ).

Watson swings Shakib again for six and RR are 124/3. Then he swings again, misses and is clean bowled by Shakib. This is top class cricket !. RR 124/4, off 16.4 overs.

RR have set a target of 160 to win for KKR. Ross Taylor remained unconquered with 35.
