Batting first Rajasthan made a solid start with Rahul Dravid and Ajinkya Rahane. Rahul made 57 runs and Rahane added 42 runs in their opening partnership of 71 runs. But other then name none could contribute much, even Watson who made much hype with this being his IPL 5 debut, couldn't add more then 8 runs.
