This IPL will define the real ICON players. SRT showed his form. RD is in good touch. SG has scoredin warm ups so I am hopeful.

Pietersen bats against Rajasthan

Toss Bangalore Royal Challengers chose to bat against Rajasthan Royals

Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Kevin Pietersen gets to match wits against Shane Warne in his first IPL game

© Associated Press

One of last year's finalists have already lost today to a side that underperformed in 2008, and Kevin Pietersen will be hoping that the script is similar in the day's second game. He made a start by winning the toss and opting for his Bangalore Royal Challengers, who finished a poor seventh in the inaugural season, to bat against his former Hampshire captain Shane Warne's Rajasthan Royals, the defending champions.

The match will be played on the same track as the season opener earlier today, when the teams found batting a little tricky. The pitch is expected to ease out over the day, but should provide the spinners with some assistance.

Bangalore, derided as a 'Test' team last year, have bolstered their batting with the inclusion of the hard-hitting Pietersen, Robin Uthappa and Jesse Ryder. Rajasthan lack two of the players pivotal to their title-winning run, Sohail Tanvir and Shane Watson, but have filled those slots with the highly rated Twenty20 specialists, Dimitri Mascarenhas and Tyron Henderson.

Much had been made of how local players would provide an edge but Bangalore have chosen to rest Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher, though Dale Steyn has dashed across from Johannesburg - where he played Australia in the ODI on Friday - and will feature.

Both teams have been hit by the absence of Australians fast bowlers - Bangalore's Nathan Bracken is part of the national squad to take on Pakistan, while Shaun Tait misses the season due to Cricket Australia's concerns over his fitness.

Teams

Bangalore Royal Challengers: 1 Jesse Ryder, 2 Robin Uthappa, 3 Kevin Pietersen (capt), 4 Ross Taylor , 5 Rahul Dravid, 6 Virat Kohli, 7 B Akhil, 8 Praveen Kumar, 9 Anil Kumble, 10 Dale Steyn, 11 Vinay Kumar

Rajasthan Royals: 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Swapnil Asnodkar, 3 Niraj Patel, 4 Yusuf Pathan, 5 Ravindra Jadeja, 6 Tyron Henderson, 7 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 8 Shane Warne (capt), 9 Mahesh Rawat (wk), 10 Munaf Patel, 11 Kamran Khan.

it is obvious that the more things change the more they remain the same.

a look at the scorecard tells you the end result is same as last year - BRC struggling with Dravid the lone man fighting

Wonder why this guy ever retired

Makes the batsmen look like absolute fools.. Kohli and Akhil ..picture perfect balls that one can remember for a long long time..

But, my best memory of this match will be RD's acknowledgement of the perfect legspinner that beat him

ruchir · « **Reply #68 on:** April 18, 2009, 04:26:35 PM »

I wonder which coach is devising strategy for him, Warne that is.

Commentator just pointing (with replays) how Warne out-thought Pietersen into hitting that leg side pull (which was caught) through his field placing.
