Player of the Match: Riyan Parag
POTM Riyan Parag said:
"Emotions are settled, mum's here as well. She's seen the struggles, this feels special. I know what my ability is and I never let that change - irrespective of whether I perform or not. A lot to do with the domestic season, where I scored a lot of runs. Someone in the top four has to take it deep. First match, Sanju bhaiya did it, today I did it. I had to work very hard. I was on bed in the last three days. I could manage it today," Parag said.
Winning skipper Sanju Samson said:
"The way we started, the first ten overs, we were like Rovman, be ready you might have to bat! The IPL is changing and we all have to be flexible. Earlier it was about 11 players, now it is about all 15 players. Me and Sanga had a lot of chat between 15th and 17th over before deciding the Impact Player. It's all about gauging in which zone they are. You have to look at that and take your decision. I saw Sandy was calm and Avesh was also looking good, so i went with that. Riyan Parag has been a big name in the last few years. Wherever I go, people ask me about him. There is something very special he can give to Indian cricket," Samson said
Losing skipper Rishabh Pant said:
"Definitely disappointed. Best thing we can do from this is learn from it. The bowlers did really well till 15-16 overs, batters sometimes go on at the death and score quickly, that happened in this game. Marsh and Warner gave a good start, but we lost a few wickets in the middle overs and in the end we had too many runs to cover up. There are other options, we wanted Nortje to bowl at the death and sometimes you can go for runs, hopefully we can do better in the next match," Pant said
RR WIN BY 13 RUNS!
Brilliant over from Avesh Khan. The experience came in handy as Rajasthan Royals defeated Delhi Capitals by 13 runs in Jaipur. Two back-to-back wins for Rajasthan while consecutive losses for Delhi.

15 runs were scored in the penultimate over of the match as DC are 169/5 after 19 overs. 17 runs are needed in the final over. Notably, Riyan Parag smacked 25 runs in the final over of the first innings.
STUBBS PRODUCES MAGIC!
Stubbs drove and drove well for a boundary. 10 runs off two deliveries. Sandeep Sharma seems to be under some pressure. 22 runs needed off 10 deliveries.
MAXIMUM!
Stubbs waited for the ball and cleared the fence with ease. Brilliant hitting. 26 runs needed off 11 deliveries.
Sandeep Sharma's sensational catch!
