Rajasthan Royals

Let me just say this, If there is one man who forces me to wake up @ 4.00 in the morning to see IPL, his name is "Shane Warne". Ever since Warney retired, there is something missing in the test match cricket. It is just Warney who makes me support Rajasthan Royals.

Warney and Royals are badly hit by Pakistani's are not being part of IPL-2. S.Tanvir was fantastic in Season 1 and it would be very difficult for Tait or Morkel to fill in his shoes. However, I believe, one of them will have to do the job of Tanvir.

They still have best bowling line up in IPL-2 & balanced one too. Either TAIT or MORKEL would open up the bowling with Munaf Patel. S.Trivedi (the same fast bowler for which stupid shilpa shetty said, "You have to Spin the ball") and Warney would make up the other two bowlers. There is one more key missing ingredient, Shane Watson.

Perhaps, Bowling would not be as much suffered, but certainly batting would be. Either Henderson or Mascarenhas would need to step up.

They should have the services of Smith,Asnodkar,Y.Pathan,Kaif,Jadeja etc in the batting.

Royals wont be dominating this year but they can certainly make their run to qualify for Semi-Finals. Their rival would be Bangalore Royal Challengers to fight for the last spot. Perhaps, one of them team will win 8 game and will qualify for Semi-Finals.

Final XI,
G.Smith, Asnodkar,Y.Pathan,M.Kaif,R.Jadeja/Niraj Patel,Henderson/Mascarenhas,Rawat,Warne,M.Morkel,Munaf,S.Trivedi
