Faf du Plessis: Really good for our NRR. Tough pitch. We batted first and assessed the conditions. We batted in the powerplay and thought 160 will be a good score. We have had a good set up till the 15th over. But we managed to capitalize on the momentum shift at the end. Great job. Bracewell would want to bowl on this every day of the week. We needed a left-arm spinner. May be Shahbaz could have been an option. Wrist spin could have been an attacking option. Hopefully, we can set it up for the last game at the Chinnaswamy. Today was a good one for the team. They needed this confidence to go into the last two games.

RCB pocket this game by 112 runs. This is a massive win. This would cause some tectonic shifts for RR and RCB's chances for the top four slot. Who would have thought that RR will capiluate in this meek manner? 59 all-out will haunt them for a long time to come. Siraj picked the huge wicket of Jaiswal to start the derailment. Then Parnell came into the scene. There were question marks over his inclusion at the expense of Hasaranga. But has he delivered?! Three wickets in three overs might just have shown exit doors to RR. RCB stay alive. RR had been depending on their top-order. But it didn't score much today. Hetmyer swung hard and got a quick-fire 35. But that was miles away from what was needed. Last five games RR have lost four of them. From being one of the pre-tournament favorites, they might well be knocked out. That's the magic of IPL...

You need to go hard in the powerplay knowing the ball was getting slower and older, that’s the way me, Jaiswal and Jos have played throughout. Credit to the RCB bowlers for their energy and intensity. I think this was a target that could have gone to the wire, I expected a tight match if we had a decent powerplay. I was just thinking seeing the batting collapse where we went wrong? I don't think I have an answer to that yet. We all know the nature of the IPL, we’ve seen some funny things happen in the league stage. We have to keep strong, take a day off and think about the game in Dharamshala. I think we need to end on a strong note. We have to take responsibility on the whole as a team for this performance.

Sanju is trying to say that he, jaiswal and jos were making runs till now so other batters should have made runs today

POTM is Parnell🥳

Wayne Parnell, Player of the Match: Obviously, credit to our batters. The last over gave us momentum. We could execute well. The message was to take pace off the ball. Bowl it at the sticks. We were able to execute everything. The surface was low, slow and skiddy. Was trying to make them play across the line.

RCB got quite a good boost in NRR
