Magician Warne Does The Miracle For Rajasthan Royals

Today we have witnessed one more exciting match of this season's IPL, between RR (Rajasthan Royals) and defending champion DC (Deccan Chargers). RR clinched an unbelievable victory from nowhere and maintained their IPL record of always defending a 150-plus total. The score was 112-3 in 13.4 overs, DC was cruising towards victory, only 48 runs away from their 4th victory with 7 wickets in hand; then the old magician of cricket history Shane Warne started showing his magic. Warne produced his T20 career best figure of 4 for 21, Rohit Sharma's heroic 44 ball 73 went in vain. DC ended their innings just 3 runs away from the victory on the penultimate ball.
This year's IPL is really going well, it has been getting more and more interesting as the day progresses. After 36 matches completed, only one team is sitting almost safe i.e. MI (Mumbai Indians). And another team is also tension free, they are almost out of the race for semi final, i.e. KingXI Punjab. The rest six teams are really fighting with each other for the semi final, keep on changing their places almost after every match.
Yesterday we had witnessed the biggest upset of the tournament so far when KingsXI Punjab successfully chased a huge total of 200 against KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) and spoiled their party. The Gayle storm which was seen during the first innings, completely overshadowed by an unbeaten 110 run off 59 balls by Mahela Jayawardene. KKR lost the match after scoring a record 33 runs in one over.
