4.5 to S Dhawan, Done in by the slower one and by his own adrenalin rush. Shikhar went for the big hit but it was the back-of-hand slower one and he ended up dragging the full delivery from outside off to deep midwicket. 40/1 19.1 to DB Ravi Teja, The bouncer. The pull shot. The good catch at fine-leg. Teja pulled it to fine-leg where Ashok rushed in, slid forward to take it. 130/7 19.3 to DW Steyn, They have a fielder between deep midwicekt and long-on and Steyn finds the man. It was the short delivery and he pulled it straight to Botha. 134/8

5.3 to KC Sangakkara, Sanga is gone. Just like that. Shilpa Shetty roars. Oh well. It was a short-of-length delivery that bounced even as it cut away from Sanga who opened the bat-face and pushed out at it. The keeper lunges to his left to pouch it. Shilpa sways, Trivedi roars, and I need a drink. 40/2 7.5 to B Chipli, Slower slower and slow death. It was yet another slower one and Chipli goes for the pull. Too early into the shot and he ends up dragging it to his stumps.. 53/3 17.3 to DT Christian, Caught at deep midwicket. Trivedi sees the batsman charging out and hurls in a bouncer. Daniel is no position for the pull and ends up swatting an easy catch to the deep.. 114/6
Shane Warne	4	0	21	2	5.25	13	0	1	1	0
10.1 to IR Jaggi, Hushed silence in the arena. Well not really, not many people there actually. He went down the track and lofts this to long-on. Gone!. 69/4 12.6 to JP Duminy, Duminy has been having some trouble picking Warne and he is gone now. He went down the track looking for the leg break. It didn't turn in much. And he ended up slicing it to the off side and long-off ran in to pouch that. 77/5

5.4 to AG Paunikar, Sanga flies. Amit combusts. It was a short -of-length delivery cutting away from Amit who edges his cut. Sanga dives to his right to take a lovely catch.. 31/1 12.5 to R Dravid, Knocked out the off stump with a slower one! Rahul was looking for the powerful drive down the ground but was beaten by the change in pace. Steyn slid his fingers over the seam and the ball slowed down appreciably. And it winked past the big waft and took out the off stump. 83/2

Botha, Trivedi star as Rajasthan open with a win

Sidharth Trivedi choked Deccan's run flow with a canny spell of slow bouncers, before Johan Botha, elevated to the No. 3 spot, guided them past the target of 138 in the 19th over

Can Warne inspire Rajasthan again?

The captains will draw much of the focus in the initial stages of the tournament as the teams settle on their combinations

Can Rajasthan rise above the ordinary?

Rajasthan find themselves in a familiar position as one of the weaker teams in the league, and will once again be counting on their inspirational captain, Shane Warne, to turn them into something greater than the sum of their parts
