Royals will do 'whatever it takes' to steer Kamran clear


Rajasthan Royals threw its weight behind pacer Kamran Khan, who has been reported for a suspect bowling action, and said it would do everything to help the left-arm bowler come out of the crisis.


Rajasthan Royals captain-cum-coach Shane Warne said he was impressed with the pacer and hoped the crisis would soon be over.

"Kamran has made a big impact in this IPL. He is a young man with a great work ethic and a huge appetite to learn. With these attributes in mind, we are confident that this issue will be resolved very quickly," Warne said.

"However, our first priority is a swift recovery from his knee injury from the last game. We currently await a full medical report after his MRI scan today," he said.

Chairman and co-owner Manoj Badale echoed his view and said, "The Royals have always been about finding young talent and supporting them all the way with holistic development and the best specialists in every field.

"Kamran is a great example of that and within our coaching setup, we will ensure that we support him to the next phase of his development," he said.



Super over in twenty20 cricket

To broaden the excitement in t20 cricket, the Super overs rule has been introduced. Though test and ODI match can end up in draw, super over prevents twenty20 matches from ending in draw. It has replaced the bowl out rule in which only the bowler had a part to play.

Rules of super over in 20-20 cricket:

1. Each team decides a bowler to bowl and three batsmen to bad during one over named as the super over. The same ball used in the match will be used in super over.
2. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the super over.
3. Team A will score some runs in the first over and team B needs to chase it successfully to win the match. In case, it is unable to chase, team A wins.
3. In case scores are level, the team hitting maximum sixes in the match will win. If its also same, the teams with maximum fours win the match.

It has been brought to twenty20 cricket from Standford twenty20. The first international twenty20 in which tie was ended with a super over was New Zealand vs West Indies. In IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight riders, this rule as implemented after with Rajasthan won Kolkata.
