Wont be surprised if Rajasthan wins this easily. Chennai have been poor travellers in IPL.

Jaipur is a fortress for RR,
But CSK will pose a big challenge to RR"s fortress, because they are used 2 playing on slow pitches just like RR and KKR( which are the only team this year to break their fortress)

Chennai ftw hate rr from the bottom of my heart

As Warney has announced retirement from IPL, I would love to see RR make it to semis. So Go Rajasthan Go. RR can't lose at Jaipur. Remember MI managed just 94/8 on this pitch. So I won't be surprised if Botha/Menaria surprise CSK.

CSK FTW! Rajasthan seem to lose their way just like they did in the last season by winning the 4 odd early games and then losing all the games when the semis approached.

It seems RR are not getting the pitch they want. Warne has opted to bowl, and its not bad for CSK who are so much used to defending totals (Dhoni said he would have liked to bowl, but in himself he should be feeling satisfied because defending is not alien to his side).

It seems that Rajasthan are getting █████ Royally by chennai.

Seriously Warne would have not expected this and he would be hating himself for chasing being his decision

I Hate CSK.They user the influence their owner has in the tourney, As he is the president elect. So no one can question his decison,
So he called up the jaipur president and told him to alter the pitch to help chennai.
Modi was better, Even tough he made money, But atleast he didnt favour a team

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

I hate your thinking as it's nothing like that

 

[vickyrox]

I would love it if was nothing like that, But a similar tweet from Warney and A top sports journalist prompted me 2 think so

Its pure crap! CSK has no hand in all this. If at all the BCCI changed the pitch, it must be because of Sachin's comments after that controversy about the pitch where MI were skittled out for 94. Sachin's comments are taken seriously, and so if at all it was the BCCI changing the pitch, it was because of that.

If RR cannot play well on a great batting track like this, its their fault. Warne won the toss, he knew before hand how this pitch was going to be. It was his decision to bowl. So all was fair! Modi is going on a CSK (and Srinivasan) rampage because he has a grouse against that guy...... Warne never spoke anything about CSK being involved in this. Modi and that sports journalist are speaking stuff

Awesome batting from CSK, especially Dhoni towards the end. He brought out his best violent game and truly buried the bowlers. Vijay, Hussey, Raina all batted really well and made life hard. RR dont have the fast bowlers to take advantage of a wicket like this. They dont have good bowlers apart from Warne and Botha (today Warne had an off day and they struggled).

Crushing victory for Chennai! Rock on, boys!
