First excited live"super over"on IPL match and Rajasthan Royals &(Yusuf Pathan) won against kalkata knight riders.

Indian primer league IPL The first and excited super over match and Kalkata knight riders fold by 10 wicket to Yusuf Pathan .
Knight Riders scored 15 runs in their over, Chris Gayle hitting three successive boundaries off young Kamran Khan before losing his wicket, caught by Quiney at sweeper-cover, to the last delivery.Each team gets one over to bat in the 'Super over' and the team that scores the most emerges triumphant. If it is a tie, then the team that scores the most sixes in the over, wins.Yusuf then scored 6, 2, 6 and 4 off Ajantha Mendis to seal the issue in Rajasthan's favour.Earlier, Rajasthan Royals, put into bat, struggled against some disciplined bowling by Knight Riders and were restricted to 150 for 6.With the scores tied at 150 after both teams completed their 20 overs, the 'Super over' was brought into play for the first time in the IPL, and Rajasthan Royals, needing 16 to win from it, got the runs through Yusuf Pathan handing Knight Riders their second defeat in three outings. The defending champions, who had just two points from two matches in the tournament, again looked a pale shadow of the team that won the inaugural edition.Change is the only constant. And changing their team composition was probably the only thing playing on the minds of the managements of both teams. How else would you explain the plethora of changes made in the starting line-ups?So, while Ajantha Mendis, Anureet Singh, Ajit Agarkar and Sanjay Bangar made their way into the Knight Riders' side, replacing Moises Henriques, Murali Kartik Ajit Agarkar and Aakash Chopra respectively, it was Abhishek Raut, Paul Valthaty and Rob Quiney who came up the order in the Rajasthan ranks, in place of Swapnil Asnodkar, Niraj Patel and Tyron Henderson. Yusuf announced his arrival with a big six followed by a boundary, both off Ishant. He continued to be the aggressive partner, as expected, in a third-wicket stand that yielded 54 runs in just 35 balls.
But just as things seemed back on track for the holders, a bowling change got Knight Riders the breakthrough they needed.Mendis, with the first ball of his second over, caught Smith (15/21) on the wrong foot, quite literally. The Sri Lankan appealed for leg before initially, but the South African captain was eventually given out caught (by Gayle at slip).Five balls later, Yusuf played a rash shot and Yashpal Singh made no mistake at point.Yusuf scored 42 off just 21 balls, inclusive of six boundaries and two sixes, but he gave his wicket away at a time when Rajasthan desperately wanted him to continue.Knight Riders 94 for five and needing 57 runs of the last six overs, increasingly difficult but not impossible.Then Ganguly, in the midst of many controversies going into the tournament, cut loose. Munaf's third over went for 22, including two successive sixes, one of a no-ball (over deep square leg) and another of the resulting free hit (over long off).And that over turned the match in Kolkata's favour. They needed just 31 off the last four overs.A boundary each in each of the subsequent overs took them further close.However, T20 and twists go hand in hand and this match had another twist in store.Yashpal Singh (20 of 18 balls, 3x4), who had hung around giving Ganguly some admirable support, lost concentration and Warne took advantage of that having him caught at deep extra cover.Ganguly was livid, for he had advised the batsman to keep his cool after the previous delivery.Seven runs off the last over and Warne handed the ball to Kamran, an inexperienced bowler who had nothing to lose.The decision was yet another asterstroke, for Kamran showed no signs of pressure.And when Ganguly lost his wicket to the penultimate ball (caught behind) and Ishant Sharma (1) was run out off the final ball, the stage was set for a 'Super over' - another first in the IPL
