Royal Challengers Bangalore continued their
pathetic show in the IPL as they plunged to a humiliating 65-run defeat
against Rajasthan Royals at Swai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur on Saturday.

Chasing a challenging 198 to win, the visitors could manage just 132, largely built around skipper Rahul Dravid's brilliant unbeaten 75-run knock.

Earlier, hosts Rajasthan Royals piled up 197 at the cost of just one wicket, thanks to a brilliant batting by their top-order.

Fine half-centuries by openers Graeme Smith (75 not out) and Swapnil Asnodkar (50) propelled hosts to the challenging total.

Shane
Watson also played a handy unbeaten knock of 46 after the opening duo
of Smith and Asnodkar put on 109 for the opening wicket, having sent in
to bat.
