Be warned Rajasthan Royals: Be scared, be s*hit scared for the Knight Riders will out to regain their pride in Jaipur! The villains, the devils, all the King's Men are seething from their losses in the last 2 matches and there is no better balm for the pride than by going all out and beating the crap out of the opposition.
Though the Knight Riders began their campaign in style wining the first 2 matches, they seem to have lost the plot in their last 2 matches. Or maybe the 6 day break from the frenetic pace of this format has lulled their senses. But it does not matter, for the task masters -- John Buchanan and Sourav Ganguly are ready to kick ass! Sourav himself needs to lead from the front and silence all his detractors (once again!).
But nothing should be taken away from Rajasthan Royals, who have relied on local talent and the sheer presence of their captain, Shane Warne, to cause as many as 3 upsets. For someone labelled as underdogs, they sure have done wonderfully well to have 3 wins under their belt from the 4 matches they have played so far. The same can't be said of the other, more fanciful and overpaid, franchises. This battle promises to be a captivating one with Sourav going once more against his nemesis, the God of spin, Shane Warne. It's just a matter of leading by example -- the captain who does it better today shall prevail and in my heart, I believe it's just a matter of one win to set the Knight Riders back on track! So, keep cheering SRK, Kolkata, All the King's Men!
