A last gasp slam from Ross Tylor and Shane Watson helped Rajasthan Royals to set a competitive target of 160 runs against theKolkata Knight Riders in the IPL clash here in Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
Put into bat by the KKR skipper Gambhir, Rajasthan began the show with a shaky start, losing opener Paunikar for just nine runs.
But Dravid and Menaria steadied the rocking boat with their 52-run second wicket stand. Things were going smooth for Rajasthan when came the Yusuf Pathan blow, he took two wickets in the 12th over to take the wind out of Rajasthan Royals’ sails.
Pathan bowled Dravid in his first over for 35 runs and caught-and-bowled Menaria, who hit 27 out of 21 balls.
