Indian Premier League (India)

Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Deccan Chargers, T20

Praveen Kumar is the Man of the Match for his magical figures of 3 for 23 which was responsible for swinging the fortunes in favour of the home team.

That is the end of the match. And from the reaction of Rahul Dravid it looked like as if Bangalore had won the IPL. It was a close game and I get a feeling that Hyderabad just threw it away at the wrong time. The way Rohit Sharma and Laxman were going, it was all plain and simple for Hyderabad but once they got out, things dipped for them. Stay connected as we will be back with the coverage of the second match of the day!!!
