Milestone
So a couple of fantastic recent visits at the Eden Gardens for Jaiswal as he won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final being part of the champion Mumbai side last year in November and now today, one of the greatest knocks in IPL history smashing the ball in all parts of the ground and beyond!
That's it from our side tonight. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ayan Chatterjee, Megh Mandaliya and scorer Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (POTM): "I always want to go out and play well. Its a nice feeling and I'm really happy that we won. I try my best and I think about process a lot. What is my preparation and what is my process is important. I trust and believe in myself and I back myself out there.
The winning shot was the greatest feeling as I always wanted to finish the game. I have been learning to play till the end and win game for team. That is my motto. I really wanted to do that. As many matches I play, I will try to finish the game. That is more important for me I guess.
I am grateful, I am just trying my best I guess. I was just thinking to make my run rate high. Me and Sanju bhai were talking about that. If we will score quickly then it can help our run rate as well. I was just trying to hit where I can.
Which run out? [on the Buttler run out]. It happens in a game. No one does it purposefully. It gives me ability also to carry on and make sure I am there. Sanju bhai came in and said 'Don't worry just play your game. You're in a really nice touch, keep going.' I was okay.
All I want to say is that I am blessed to play all the great players in IPL. I really appreciate it as a really great platform that a youngster can come and get experience from the really big players and that's how we improve I guess."

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Absolutely, I didn't have to do anything. Just put the bat on the ball and get to the other end. We know what Yashasvi can do. He loves the powerplay. He is really enjoying it.
It's time to give Yuzi the tag of a legend now. I think he has been bowling superbly for the last few years. We all are grateful to have him on the side. You don't need to speak anything to him. He knows what he wants to do.
Yes, I think I am happy. I think we have two more quarter-finals to play. The pressure is never off. You know how IPL works. Each and every decision you make is important. You can never relax. We are almost there and you can see the dressing room atmosphere considering the way a legend like Buttler throws his wicket away for Yashasvi. Very happy but we have a few more games to go."
