IPL 2018: Rajasthan Royals Mentor Shane Warne Returns to Australia for a Holiday

Meanwhile, Warne has been on roads since March 1 commentating on the South Africa-Australia Test series. He headed straight to Indian and finishing his commitment in the Rainbow Nation.

Moreover, he is the part of the Rajasthan Royals, who had a mixed start to this edition. They lost two games out of four to begin the much-coveted league.

However, last night they suffered a humiliating defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets.

Batting first, they posted 160 for 8 after a good start provided by Ajinkya Rahane and D’Arcy Short. It was their middle-order, who has let them down so far in the IPL.

Kolkata spinners were on the mark as they contained runs in the middle-overs.

In reply, it was a cakewalk for the Kolkata batsmen. The top-order came good as they chased down the target with seven balls to spare.
