DLF IPL 2010: Knight Riders takes on Rajasthan Royals today

Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals  will face an uphill task when they  take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Ahmedabad today.

Kolkata Knight Riders is set to get a boost with the return of Chris Gayle in the squad. This means either Brad Hodge or Owais Shah will be going out of the team to make way for Gayle. Shane Bond will surely be charged up for today’s match and with an out of shape opponent like Royals, expect the Kiwi pacer to have a blast.

Going into this match KKR is the better team compared to Royals who are not able to get their balance right. I am expecting to see a lot of changes in Royals playing XI and I wish to see Kamran Khan coming back into the team coz he has caused a lot of trouble for KKR in the last edition of this prestigious tournament held at South Africa.

Damien Martyn and Michael Lumb is not at all the best replacement for Smith and Mascarenhas but Warne and Co. will have to get on with it till the rescue forces arrives.

Royals will have a lot of expectation from Yusuf Pathan who has failed to score big in the last two matches and I am expecting him to fire from all corners today.

The match starts from 4:00 PM (IST), catch the live actions in YOUTUBE and Sony MAX (India).
