Commentary

So thats all from here folks. Just overjoyed with my team's performance. Like always it was a pleasure bringing the live commentary and match updates for you. Till the next time, adieus from me, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and my co-commentator Karthik Raj. Good night folks and stay tuned for tomorrow's high octane clash between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Chennai Super Kings. It will be a big game for KKR. Till the next time, tata

So Mumbai Indians all but confirms a top-two finish. Theoretically not yet though but practically yes without an iota of doubt. They have already won 8 and even if they lose their last two matches, they will in all probabilities finish with a better net run rate than Royal Challengers Bangalore or Delhi Capitals. They are the only two teams who can finish with 9 wins but with a game to be played between them it won't be possible for both teams to finish with 9 wins and MI with a superior net run rate should prevail.

Suryakumar Yadav, Man of the Match: I was looking to finish the game. I was looking to learn what my game is. Happy to have finished it. Lot of meditation has helped. I have been spending a lot of time with myself. One over cover to Chahal and the back foot punch off Steyn were my favourites. I have worked on my game during the lockdown. I used to love playing on the on-side before. Pleased to have finished the game.

Kieron Pollard: I try to analyze. I got the wicket of ABD. We can't just depend on Bumrah. But we would want other guys to step up as it is a team game. We lost a few wickets but Surya took us home. Imagine, someone coming in at that number and batting at that strike rate despite a wicket going down. The most he can do is continue performing for us. As an individual if you continue to be consistent, the rewards will come. I have always done what the team wants me to do. If the team performs well, I am happy.

Devdutt Padikkal is the Cred Power Player of the Match.

Trent Boult: Good win, nice to get across the line. We did well with the ball, got them down to an achievable score and then it was nicely followed up, obviously set-up by Surya. It was nice to get rid of AB and Virat, they were the big wickets that needed to be taken, that helped us in the end, made us feel less daunting. It was still a pretty good score, but I think we kept them down well. It's all to play for now, we're heading towards the exciting part of the tournament. The squad is feeling good, I'm feeling good, big games coming up, but that's why we're here

Virat Kohli | RCB (losing) captain: It was a strange phase of batting (the last five overs of the RCB innings). Everything went to the fielders and these kind of things happen. They bowled in good areas in the last 5 overs and stopped us 20 runs short. We were in the game until the 17th over and that was a decent effort by our bowlers. It's basically up to the gut of the captain and the conditions, we thought Dale and Morris for initial swing, and Washy in the powerplay. We needed a few wickets there, but their batsmen did a good job. This is always going to happen - some teams peak early and some do better later. As we can see, the teams in the lower half are turning out some really good performances now. When it's a top-two clash, it will always be intense and in a competition like the IPL, you can't expect any team to back down and be blown away.
