Shilpa's Royals power past Preity's Kings

Today's IPL match win means Shilpa's team is third in the points chart

Shilpa Shetty's IPL team, the Rajasthan Royals, had their first match on their home ground at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur today (April 7). And playing against Preity Zinta's team Kings XI Punjab, they won in style. Preity's team only scored 153/6, which Shilpa's team reached with five overs remaining in the match.

Earlier in the day, Shilpa had tweeted, "By the way, Prayers for RR can begin now:)". And post match, she added, "Hey U all ure prayers r bein heard:):)thanks sooo much.A convincing win 2day, gr8 2 b home(jaipur:) goin bak to Bbay with a smile on my face."

Shilpa was at the stadium with hubby Raj Kundra and sis Shamita. And she was wearing a sari today. Of course, the colour of the sari was blue, which is the shade of the Rajasthan Royals' jersey as well.

And what of Preity? Well, she wasn't at the stadium today because she was shooting in Mumbai. But her team just doesn't seem to be scoring enough wins. She's aware of it too, having tweeted pre-match that her team needs to rise on the points table. Think they'll score a dramatic turnaround? Would be fun to wathc for sure!
