It seems that Mumbai Indians are second time unlucky as they lose nail bitting thriller against Rajasthan Royals. The first time being against Kings X1 punjab
losing by 2 runs.
Sachin tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya played so slowly that at 1 time it seemed they playing a test match. Boundaries were not at all visible for 8 - 10 overs.
But then after Sanath Jayasuria got out, Tendulkar woke up and smashed Jadeja for 3 consecutive boundries.
But then it was too late for Mumbai.A lot work had to be done by the tail enders. Abhishek Nayar gave a hope to mumbai as he smashed a timely 6 off Johan Botha's penumilate over but the very next ball showed him the way to pavillion.
Lasith Malinga,as a bowler, was too slow to run and give strike to well set Harbhajan Singh in the 20th over and was run out, crashing Mumbai's chances to semifinals.
On the other hand it was a much needed win for Rajasthan Royals.Captain courageous Shane warne though, not 100% fit,played well taking crucial wicket of Sachin Tendulkar that changed the whole game.
