IPL 2015: Rajasthan Royals vs Kings XI Punjab, pick of the tweets

Rajasthan Royals (RR) take on Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the 18th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 at Motera, Ahmedabad, on Tuesday. RR, high on confidence, are unbeaten with five wins from five games, whereas KXIP have lost three of the four matches.

RR, who have been excellent in all the three departments of the game, thrashed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at their home ground — boosted by the inclusion of Shane Watson, who put on a century stand with Ajinkya Rahane. In the bowling department, Chris Morris proved yet again why he is an ideal Twenty20 (T20) bowler. Pravin Tambe went for few runs but still remains a big asset for RR.

On the other hand, KXIP flopped yet again when they took on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Glenn Maxwell looked rusty. David Miller warmed the benches to make way for Thisara Perera. On paper and recent form, RR definitely are the clear favourites in this exciting game.

As usual packed house at Motera. No Bailey for the #KingsXI, he was their insurance. But their original star, Shaun Marsh is back! #PepsiIPL — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) April 21, 2015

Great running between the wickets by the pair! Good start by the #Royals; 6/0 after one over! #AlwaysARoyal #RRvKXIP #RR — Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) April 21, 2015

And Ajju is off the mark straight away! #AlwaysARoyal #RRvKXIP #RR — Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) April 21, 2015

@sandeep25a to bowl the first over of the innings. Can we have a loud cheer for him, Sheron? #KXIP #IPL #RRvKXIP #LivePunjabiPlayPunjabi — Kings XI Punjab (@lionsdenkxip) April 21, 2015

The skipper @ShaneRWatson33 and @ajinkyarahane88 are all set to open the batting for the #Royals! #AlwaysARoyal #RRvKXIP #RR — Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) April 21, 2015

Watto and RD checking the pitch pre-game. Is it a masterstroke from the #RR camp to put Tewatia in? #AlwaysARoyal pic.twitter.com/SBD93Lxnsy — Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) April 21, 2015
