Shane Warne steered Rajasthan Royals to a remarkable win with one ball to spare in Hyderabad last night when he hit successive deliveries from his former Australian team-mate Andrew Symonds for four, six and six in the final over.
It was tough luck on Symonds, who had earlier smashed an undefeated 117 off 53 balls. Yusuf Pathan and Graeme Smith replied by adding 98 for the Royals' second wicket in 44 balls and they were left needing 17 off the final over.
Pankaj Singh took three off Symonds' first two balls before Warne did the rest.
The Chargers' Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi had expressed his disquiet at the cheerleaders who have become a feature at IPL venues throughout India.
"The girls in skimpy dresses should be removed from the ground as this is distracting the batsmen," he said.
