NEW DELHI: Aditya Dole and Siddharth Trivedi took 2 wickets each and Kings XI Punjab hit no boundaries in the last five overs as they were restricted to 153/6 by Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday.
Scorecard
Ravi Bopara was run out after a misunderstanding with Irfan Pathan as Rajasthan gained upper hand over Punjab.
Bopara's dismissal came after Aditya Dole dismissed Yuvraj Singh and Mahela Jayawardene in one over to reduce Punjab to 109/4.
Yuvraj hit 3 sixes and a four in his 16-ball 28 before edging a Dole delivery onto his stumps. Two deliveries later, Dole induced an edge off Jayawardene's bat that was snapped up by Rajasthan captain Shane Warne at wide slip. To have a slip in the 12th over when Punjab were going at a run rate of ten says a lot about Warne's captaincy.
Jayawardene hit a six and 6 fours in his 33-ball 44 and added 56 runs with Yuvraj for the third wicket.
Jayawardene and Yuvraj put up a 50-run stand off 29 balls to take Kings XI Punjab to 103/2 in 11 overs.
The Jayawardene-Yuvraj stand came after Siddharth Trivedi had Kumar Sangakkara (9) caught by Yusuf Pathan in the covers to reduce Kings XI Punjab to 52/2.
Sangakkara's dismissal came after Shane Watson had Manvinder Bisla caught by Faiz Fazal at square leg to give Rajasthan Royals the first breakthrough.
This was after Punjab captain Sangakkara won the toss and elected to bat.
Punjab have dropped Shalabh Srivastava and brought in S Sreesanth and Rajasthan have replaced Morne Morkel with Adam Voges.
Teams:
Rajasthan Royals: Shane Warne (Capt.), Michael Lumb, Naman Ojha, Faiz Fazal, Shane Watson, Yusuf Pathan, Adam Voges, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, Abhishek Raut, Aditya Dole, Siddharth Trivedi.
Kings XI Punjab: Kumar Sangakkara (Capt.), Manvinder Bisla, Mahela Jayawardene, Yuvraj Singh, Ravi Bopara, Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla, S Sreesanth, Ramesh Powar, Juan Theron, Bipul Sharma.
