POTM Jasprit Bumrah said:

"I'm very happy with the outcome. But I will not say I had always thought of taking a five-for. Wicket was sticking in the first 10 overs. One of those days where things went in my favour and catches went to hand. In this format, it's anyway very harsh on the bowlers so you need to have different skills. Can't be a one-trick pony. Everyone is doing research and data. Have trained to have different skills. Bowling is tough because you will have to take a beating, you will have to have bad days to learn from it. whenever I've had bad days, I've watched vidoes the next day to see what didn't work, why it didn't work. You bowl to batters in the nets who hit big sixes, find out how you react to pressure. And when you're in the middle facing same pressure, you'll have answers. I do my research and see where the batter is strong. You don't need to use all tricks on one day," Bumrah said.

LOSING SKIPPER HARDIK PANDYA SAID:

"Always good to win. The way we have won - it's quite impressive. Impact player has given the opportunity to use an extra bowler if we require. It gives me a cushion as well. The way Ro and Kishan batted, giving the platform, it was important for us to finish it early. We didn't speak about it. That's the beauty of this team, players know what to do. Blessed to have Bumrah in my side. He does it over and over again. He practices a lot. The amount of experience and confidence he has is tremendous. I did tell him when he scored the fifty that welcome back. I've been opposition captain as well against him, it's tough to put field for him. Whatever the situation requires - last game I had to take some time, and this game's scenario was different," Pandya said.

Losing skipper Faf du Plessis said:

"It's a tough pill to swallow - combination of two things, very wet (the conditions with dew), I need to somehow win some tosses, secondly, they played really well, put the pressure on us and we made a lot of mistakes (especially during the powerplay). We knew dew would be a factor, we might have needed to make 250+, but they made 196 look very less. You know when there's dew coming, you'll have to bat big, the ball was very wet, it was changed a few times and the bowlers struggled. We also lost a few moments and were going well when myself and Patidar were going, but they did come back well. Everytime you see him with the ball in his hand (on Jasprit Bumrah), you think you'll have to put him under pressure. But he has so many skills, bowls well under pressure, he bowls with the same action and has a lot of variations. I think he has become even better under the guidance of Lasith Malinga. We would have loved if he was part of our team (smiles). We will have to find ways with the bat, get those big scores, we know our bowling is not our strongest suit, but we'll have to find ways to manage it, we'll have to be creative, go hard with the bat and make most of the first 4-5 overs with the bat," Faf said.

FIFTY FOR SURYAKUMAR YADAV

THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST KNOCKS OF IPL. Suryakumar Yadav wreaked havoc as he completed a half-century in just 17 deliveries. Absolute carnage. Toyed with RCB bowlers.
