So that's it from us at OneCricket. Do join us tomorrow for more cricketing action. This is me Akshay Bhide, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators AryaSekhar Chakraborty and Sourya Chowdhury. Tata. Bye Bye.
Kartik Tyagi | Player of the Match: I was injured during the India leg of the IPL and by the time I got fit, the tournament was suspended. Felt sad. So this feels really good.
I have been talking to people over the years and they keep telling me that things keep changing in this format, so I need to keep believing. I've always heard from everyone and also watched games in this format where strange things have happened.
Today, I was fortunate to play a big role in something special.

Kartik Tyagi is awarded the Player of the Match award for his match-winning last over where he defended four runs.
Sanju Samson | Winning Captain: It's funny that we kept believing (that we could win). I kept the overs of Mustafizur and Tyagi for the end, believing. Cricket is a funny game right. We just kept fighting and believing. I always believe in my bowlers, want to keep fighting and that's why I kept those two overs till the end.
To be very honest, to get that score on this wicket, we felt good because we had the bowling. If we took the catches, we could have won the game earlier. People have really worked hard on their fitness.

KL Rahul | Losing Captain: It's a tough one to swallow. We have been a team that has experienced games like these before. We need to see how we can handle pressure better. Trying to finish in the 18th overs sometimes you go too hard and lose your way and let the opponents in.
We haven't learnt from previous mistakes. We will now try to come back stronger and win the next five games.
We pulled things back quite nicely with the ball, kept taking wickets, which is very crucial in this format. Getting runs for me, Mayank and even Aiden in his first IPL game was important.

Time for the presentations.
Akshay: Chasing 184, Punjab Kings had the perfect start. Skipper KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal started aggressively as they both put a 120-run opening stand. KL Rahul was dismissed in the 12th over on 49 by Sakariya. But it was no stopping Agarwal as he kept going at a good rate. He departed in the 13th over and the Royals believed they had a chance. Pooran and Markram put a solid partnership to take their side close to the target. With 4 runs needed from the final over, Tyagi did the unbelievable as he conceded a solitary run and picked two wickets to win the game by mere 2 runs.
Earlier, KL Rahul won the toss and had no hesitation in bowling first. Royals openers Lewis and Jaiswal started on a positive note. Both put 50 runs for the first wicket until Lewis was dismissed in the final over of the powerplay. Jaiswal (49) was well-supported by Livingstone and Lomror as they kept scoring at a brisk rate. Lomror played a fantastic innings of 43 runs from 17 balls. But his departure in the 18th over led to a collapse in the end as the Royals managed to put 185 on the board. Arshdeep was outstanding in the end for Kings as he picked a fifer on the last ball of the innings.

Sourya: I still cannot digest this finish. PBKS have managed the impossible by committing harakiri. They were 2 down into the last over, four runs from six. But RR never let their heads drop. And Tyagi was amazing in the last over, but the pressure was built up over the last two three overs. But Still, Pooran and Markram deserve a lot of the blame for this incredible loss.
Akshay: What a dramatic finish to this match. Take a bow Kartik Tyagi. He has defended 4 runs in the final over. Incredible scenes here as the players run out on the field. You can't get any better match than this. This is IPL folks. Royals have snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat. They beat Punjab Kings by 2 runs.
