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.

Both sides will face off in game 25 of the tournament, on Thursday, April 11.
It is worth noting that both sides have had campaigns to forget so far in the tournament. RCB currently find themselves reeling in the ninth place in the IPL standings with two points in five matches. Led by Faf du Plessis, RCB have only managed to win one game so far, and they will hope to register their second win of the season.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have had similar luck as well. Having played four games in the season, Mumbai have only registered one win so far. With two points Mumbai Indians sit in seventh place in the standings, just above Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
As both sides prepare to face off at the Wankhede Stadium, both teams will be desperate for a win, and it could be interesting to see which side comes out on top in game 25 of the IPL 2024.
