I am living a dream: Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane has managed to surprise even himself with his smashing form in the IPL so far and the young Rajasthan Royals batsman says the entire experience has been like living a dream.

Rajasthan still fancy playoff chances

Their campaign has been thrown haywire after the four-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings but Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Johan Botha says his team still has a chance of making the IPL playoffs.

CSK hold steady to down Royals

For a moment, it seemed surreal — 'Mr Perfect' Rahul Dravid getting caught off an ugly cross-batted shot and his young apprentice, Ajinkya Rahane, impressive so far with his correct strokeplay, trying to hit the ball senselessly. Creating such indiscretions in the opposition ranks has made MS Dhoni the man with a Midas touch, which was on display on Thursday as CSK recorded a four-wicket win. Khurram Habib reports. Scorecard

Finishing trouble for the holders

We cannot be taken lightly in IPL5: Dravid

Royals face no resistance, storm Kings' bastion

Hosts or visitors, who will be left speechless at Sawai Mansingh?

It's still early days in IPL-V, but as of now, the Royals and the Chargers are at the exact opposite ends of the spectrum. While Dravid has led his side to the top of the league standings, Sangakkara's men sit at the very bottom. Rohit Bhaskar reports. Today's action | Face-off
