He played for MI in first two seasons. Was not impressive

"All these Indian boys can have Dravid as a mentor," Raghu Iyer, spokesperson for Rajasthan, said. "The strategy is to have a blend of youth and experience. That is what delivered for us in season one. Yusuf [Pathan] was not the star he is now. [Ravindra] Jadeja was not the star he is now. They have all delivered for us and done extremely well."

Looks like the game plan is to fill the dressign room with leaders( Warne, Dravid, Colly, Botha - two intl T20 captains) and hope that they'll direct the team well.
Not a bad strategy especially since except Warne who is a superstar-leader, the other 3 are self-effacing teammen-leaders, which means a wealth of leadership experience which will not clash with each other, instead will complement each other

Batting-la Shane Warne captaincy vachu ennatha Shaving panradhu? Maximum batting order konjam maathalaam alladhu 'Back your abilities'-nu utsaaga speech kudukkalaam. mathapadi Captain-oda contribution is very limited in batting IMHO. I find even the non-striker's contribution to be much more than that of captain while batting.

Where the captain really makes a difference is in the field. When Warne is around, RR somehow manage to restrict the opponents around 150. Whether the batsmen can get them or not was upto the pyrotechnics of Youtube Pathan and Watson as others would collapse. With Dravid and Colly around, at least they will have stability in the muddle order, so I hope RR don't collapse as much as last season. And yeah, it seems to be a conscious decision to select good batting captains who know how to control the innings (rather than Gayle type kapthaans).

Yeah, T20-la perusa edhuvum pannalai.

But he is a much talked about batsman in the Domestic Circuit. In tests, he is in the 2nd rung of India hopefuls along with Mukund I think. So he might make his debut soon depending on how the 1st rung fares.

Puli, watched A Menaria's innings for Central Zone vs South, the Royals have definitely found a gem in him Clean hitting, no sign of nerves and comfortable against pace and spin Lets hope he makes it big Hope I have not jinxed him

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Amit Paunikar pathi onnum theriyathu, S Fallah is a wicket taking bowler AFAIK. Eppo Maharastra scorecard parthalum ivan 2 or 3 wickets eduthiruppan. Ankeet Chavan U19 la irunthu romba periya reputationoda vanthan, DK India U19 adum pothu ivanayum parthirukken, bowling pathi romba theriyathu but decent enough batsman.

Ippo Paul Collingwoodku replacement vanga mudiyuma? I was impressed by that Russel fellow from WI
