However, Sohail couldn't witness a Royals win as Kolkata Knight Riders sent them crashing to an eight-wicket defeat.
Sourav Ganguly led from the front with an unbeaten 75 which helped KKR reach their 133-run target with 23 balls to spare. Ganguly also took a splendid catch earlier in the game to dismiss dangerman Yusuf Pathan.
Sohail decided to meet his former Rajasthan Royals teammates after arriving in India to witness the wedding of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza. "Being in Hyderabad was a great experience. Saniabhabi is so beautiful and nice.
It was the first time I experienced an Indian wedding," he said.
