Classy and clinical. That sums up this run-chase. It was set up by Buttler and Jaiswal in the powerplay, but the Royals lost their way just a bit once the field restrictions were lifted. Samson, though, had it all worked out in his head. He absorbed the pressure at that juncture and when he got along with Jurel, moved through the gears seamlessly.

Jurel deserves his share of credit too, rattling along to 52 off 34 and ensuring that RR never allowed the hosts a sniff. This night, though, belongs to the RR skipper and how he, almost without breaking sweat, got RR past the finish line and has now taken them up to 16 points after just nine matches.

Plenty to ponder for LSG. Their bowling plans and execution left a bit to be desired. Rahul's usage (or lack thereof) of Bishnoi was also puzzling. The leg-spinner bowled just one over (the 16th), even as the others went for runs. The decision to bring Mishra in as an Impact Player worked initially, although that meant LSG then ended up with too many bowlers. Stoinis, despite picking up a wicket in the one over he bowled, did not get a go again, further reiterating how LSG got a few things wrong on the field.

KL Rahul | LSG captain: I think we left about 20 runs behind. We didn’t get an ideal start but with the partnership me and Hooda had was great. In these sorts of games, the set batter had to score close to a hundred after getting to 50-60. I think we were 150 after about 15 overs, should have capitalized on it a bit more. I think it is clear the team with more sixes ends up winning. We do try to hit our sixes but today we had to change our approach after those two early wicket. If Hooda pushed on and scored 20 more, and I got 20 more then we’d finish around 220. That would have been the difference, that’s the 20 runs we left behind. We’re seeing with every game how important it is to give the bowlers that extra cushion because they are under the pump. Everyone loves range hitting and hitting it all over the park, we are no different. It is part of the prep. Our big hitters are Stoin and Pooran who can hit those big shots. The other guys like us try to pick our areas and time the shots better. (On Mishra and Bishnoi) There is a bit of chat before the game with the numbers and how opposition players match-up. Mishra is an experienced player and today was a day we knew he could be useful with how slow he bowls and with the larger boundaries. Once the runs kept flowing, they put pressure on our bowlers. There were 2-3 overs when Krunal bowled really well and squeezed them but then they attacked the fast bowlers. I couldn’t get a good time to get Bishnoi, wanted to keep him for the backend when Rovman and Hetmyer came out to bat because we know he can bowl well to them.

Dhruv Jurel - I just wanted to finish the match whenever I got a chance ( during batting). It's always a blessing / curse (playing in the middle-order), I just wanted to stay until the end and finish the game for my team. I will have to practice, in the batting PP, you have just two fielders outrside the ring, during the middle-overs, you'll need to find the gaps and get the big hits going as there are 5 fielders in thew deep, that's what I was looking at. I started well, but my shots went straight to the fielders. Sanju then told me to calm down, don't go too hard, take my time and then I got 20 runs in an over and that got me going. I always play for my papa, I did so during the Test match as well. he was then in the army, he was there today and that was for him (on the salute celebrations)
