Jaipur seem to be in a hurry to get rid of their underdog tag. The team which has surprised everybody in the competition notched up another dazzling display, posting an impressive 196-7 against Kolkata at the Sawai Man Singh stadium on Thursday.

The Kolkata bowling, which looked formidable on paper with the inclusion of Umar Gul, took some heavy punishment as Jaipur's men with willows continued their super show in the IPL tourney. And it was not the big names in the Jaipur camp that fired on Thursday with Graeme Smith and Shane Watson, the men in form, managing two and zero respectively.

After Smith and Watson played the protagonists in Jaipur's previous wins, it was time for the youngsters to come good.

Swapnil Asnodkar (60), Yousuf Pathan (55) and Ravinder Jadeja (33) sizzled on their home ground to set up a daunting task for the Kolkata Knight Riders, who after starting the tournament on a high are suddenly facing the heat, losing their last two games.

Kolkata started off on a bright note after Jaipur elected to bat. Smith, who had two half-centuries in as many games in the competition, failed to get going this time around. Ishant Sharma cleaned up the South African skipper in the second over of the match.
