Answer: Yusuf Pathan
Winning the toss in the high pressure game, ‘Royals’ captain Shane Warne elected to field first. The Super Kings scored 163 runs in 20 overs with a loss of 5 wickets. Batting at number three, Suresh Raina top scored for the Super Kings with 43 runs. Royals bowler Yusuf Pathan took three wickets for 22 runs. The Royals failed to build a good opening partnership.
However, due to contributions from the middle order, the team reached the winning total on the last ball and earned the 2008 Indian Premier League title and became the first team to do so.
Pathan, who was the best performer for the Royals with both bat and ball, was named the man of the match.
The Indian Premier League’s UAE leg is nearing its end with the playoffs set to begin from October 10 next week and the Final is scheduled for October 15.
