Hyderabad: The last time Rajasthan Royals played in Hyderabad, they changed the game on its head in the final over as Andrew Symonds turned hero to villain in a trice, his blazing century lost in the maze of his mate Shane Warne's lusty hits.
Much water has flowed under the bridge since. Royals went on to claim top honours followed by Deccan Chargers in IPL 2. Symonds has moved on to a new franchise but Royals have cashed in on the confidence from that improbable first win and have the wood on Chargers, having won five of their six encounters in three editions.
There has been so much of change in personnel - Chargers let go of all their overseas recruits from first three editions - going into IPL 4, and their poor record at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium makes it imperative that the hosts hit the ground running in the day game of Saturday's double header.
With Warne in the opposition, the challenge only becomes formidable. In the words of Delhi Daredevil turned Charger Amit Mishra, "Warne is a legend. It is so good to watch him in action and I'll definitely try and talk to him whenever I get time."
