IPL Live Scorecard : Rajasthan aim to build on “champions” tag

April 10, 2009

Being the defending champions will help as well as add pressure in equal measure for Rajasthan Royals. The first batch of nine players, which included Mohammed Kaif, Yusuf Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja expressed that sentiment before departing for South Africa for the second edition of the IPL. Both Kaif and Yusuf agreed that the pressure would obviously be there because of their fairy-tale like victory in the inaugural season last year.

Last year, Kaif had provided valuable inputs to Shane Warne and Darren Berry, Rajasthan’s captain-team director combination. Asked if Graeme Smith could feed the team management with similar inputs, Kaif was positive the South African captain would be the key.
