RR vs SRH

986 runs in 87.2 overs on a sensational Saturday - two scinitallating centuries and both ended up in losing cause. We will be back with more entertainment on a Super Sunday tomorrow, CSK vs GT in the afternoon followed by LSG vs KKR in the evening. Make sure you join us there, this is Sourabh Agrawal taking your leave on behalf of the entire team. Cheers!

Ishan Kishan is the Player of the Match for his 74 runs off 31 balls, here is what he had to say: As a wicket-keeper also I do the same job (what he was doing as the captain before this game). We were able to restrict them to under 230 and we were able to do that.

It was quite fun (captaining for the first 7 games). He (Cummins) is a tremendous captain, so I was just thinking about my batting and keeping. You have to play your shots and not be in fear. 

(on his first ball) I think it was pretty quick and it got extra bounce than what I expected, happy to get six runs off it, fortune favours the brave. We were pretty calm and you have to have a good powerplay which is most important, I was communicating with Abhishek on what is happening and what is the run-rate. Calmness is about watching the ball and be predetermined, it is a big ground and there will be big gaps. When the ball is not there then you can push the ball around and keep the run-rate going. My best is yet to come.

Pat Cummins (SRH captain): Really happy, you're never quite sure as to how it will come out in the first game (after injury). (Where the bowlers need to go?) I don't know, maybe work on our batting. But with the way the scores are there in T20 cricket, you can always come back if you have a couple of bad overs which someone like Praful (Hinge) did. We have a good dugout, young guys in there and Ishan led really well. We were quite calm at the halfway mark, it could have got away from us, around 250 but that was a special win

The Orange Cap continues to be swapped around, it is with Abhishek Sharma now: It is always great to be on the winning side and contribute to the team. I had my chances today, it was a lucky day today. I wouldn't say that they are 10-15 runs short but they could have go 15-20 runs more. It would be foolish if I think that bowlers like Jofra and Burger would give me boundary ball, I wanted to create some room and trouble them with the line and length, that was the plan with Ishan. Once you chase this kind of scores, the way the top order is playing, the way the bowlers are coming back is a sign of a winning side. Just the way we are in the dugout as wel. Patty (Cummins) always knew that he was going to come back and lead, he is our leader but the way Ishan led in the first 7 games, we did not feel that we were missing him but Patty coming back provides experience with his bowling. (on to Wankhede next) I love the Wankhede, going from a high here and it is going to be a special one

Riyan Parag (RR captain): Skillwise we executed nicely but we dropped a lot of catches. Quality players like Abhishek, can't give them chances, credits to them but we need to be better. We need to be clinical and fielding is a big part of it. We have a day's break and then look to come back mentally fresh in the next game. We left 10-15 (runs) on the table, to be honest they bowled really well in the last couple of overs. Executed the yorkers, not much could have been differently but 15 more runs would have been nice. There were two left-handers at the crease, I thought that me and Don (Ferreira) had a better chance to get a wicket and then bring in Bishnoi and Jaddu bhai. The wicket was not spinning, the spinners needed to control the runs and the pacers had to take wickets. He has been sensational throughout this tournament, once again a classy performance from him. He was unlucky as well, quite a few top edges fell in vacant spaces. (on their next game in New Chandigrah) Different venues evry day, different ways to approach. Don't know how it will be there but we will certainly like to stop them (PBKS) on much lesser

18.3 Nandre Burger to Salil Arora, GAME, SET AND MATCH SRH! Salil Arora finishes it off with a maximum and that makes it 4 wins on the trot for SRH who interchange places with RR at number 3 on the points table. Hugs all around in the SRH camp, plenty of smiles too, they won three at home back-to-back-to-back and now they have followed it up with the fourth highest successful chase in IPL history

It was a full ball at the pads, Arora just flicked it with nonchalance over the square leg and sealed the deal

18.2 Nandre Burger to Aniket Verma, back of a length just outside off, Verma leans back and periscopes it down to third man for one. One hit away now

18.2 Nandre Burger to Aniket Verma, WIDE! That won't help RR. Slides down the leg side with the angle, past the flick and it will be an extra run and an extra ball

18.1 Nandre Burger to Salil Arora, round the wicket, on a length angling in at off, Arora stabs it into the cover region and picks up a single. 8 needed now

17.6 Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT, sheepish smile on Brijesh's face as that was a low full toss. Klaasen should have put it into the stands but he decided to just ease it into the leg side, hit it aerially and Bishnoi ran in from deep square leg and completed the catch

They check for height, it is well below the waistline and Klaasen will have to go. First in the last 8 IPL innings that Klassen has scored less than 30 runs

Do we still have a game on? SRH are 5 down with 9 needed from 12 balls

17.5 Brijesh Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen, WIDE! That looked close to the tramline. Klaasen left it seeing the line, RR have reviewed it.

Some part of the ball is inside the guide line, the wide call will be reversed. Another dot.

17.3 Brijesh Sharma to Salil Arora, another well-executed yorker, Salil jams the bat down and gets it down to long-on. Down to single digits now
