New Delhi: Ahead of the high-profile Indian Premier League final, cricketers like Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle were busy tracking another prized contest.
The Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid captured the imagination of some of our star cricketers. Most of them though were rooting for Real Madrid who went on to beat city rivals Atletico in a penalty shootout.

While Rohit's team has already exited the IPL tournament, Yuvi and Gayle will battle it out on Sunday in the big final.
Before taking the field, the RCB opener had a 'warning' for SRH's left-hander.

SRH and RCB have never won the cash-rich league. This is SRH's first appearance in the final, while RCB have been here two times before.
