Rajasthan owner slams umpiring: Raj Kundra, one of the owners of Rajasthan Royals, was livid with the umpiring after his team's narrow defeat to Delhi Daredevils on Sunday. Rajasthan seemed to have the game in hand with two overs to go, when they were 138 for 1 and needed 15 more. Rajasthan ended up losing by one run, and Kundra was angry that a delivery down the leg side in the penultimate over had not been called a 'wide'.

@rajasthanroyals umpire need's glasses!!! It was a clear wide Miles away fm the leg stump!! I am proud of my boys! Gave #DD a good run!!

Balaji injured: Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler L Balaji has been struggling with a hamstring strain, and will miss out on today's game against Chennai Super Kings. The Kolkata management is hoping he will be fit in time for the big match against the Sourav Ganguly-led Pune Warriors on May 5. Balaji has played four games this season, including a Man-of-the-Match performance against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Punjab aim to break even: More than four years after investing in the franchise, Kings XI Punjab's owners are still making a loss but they hope to change that this season. “We’ve made losses of approximately Rs 50-60 crore in the last four years," Ness Wadia, one of the owners, said. "This year, hopefully, we will be able to break even. We had a good couple of years initially. The last two years were not very good. I think this year should be better, overall."
