Rajasthan Romantics will be missed

After the defending champions Rajasthan Royals have been knocked out of the IPL, Harsha Bhogle writes in the Indian Express that he's sad to see the tournament's underdogs bow out this early.

An oddball collection of talents led by a magnificent, ageing general, they should have had a movie made about them. They were the romantics of the tournament, full of hope and optimism; a kid who bowled left-arm quick and had never played at any level before this, another barely known outside his province who replaced him and took wickets at a miserly rate, there were people who batted anywhere, you never knew who was going to play when. They should call themselves the Rajasthan Romantics.
