Jaipur Tigers vs Udaipur Eagles, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The RPL 2017 is underway and Jaipur are off to a winning start. So, that is it from here. We will join you tomorrow for a double header.

Gourav Mehra, Man of the Match: I was lucky to pick wickets. Just concentrated on bowling good lines. I was practicising really hard before the tournament. This is a huge tournament for players like us.

So, Jaipur win the opening encounter and that too comprehensively. Two wickets off the first two balls of the tourney ensured Jaipur had an early stranglehold of the game and they never let it slip barring a few moments towards the first innings. The batters had no such hiccups and Prabhash Joshi scored a dazzling 79 not out to ensure he took his team over the line. Udaipur have a lot to ponder over and a loss in the first game is never an auspicious way to start a campaign. They will hit the drawing board again. A few awards to be given. Don't go too far away.
