Faf du Plessis (RCB Captain and POTM): "Chinnaswamy and this are 2 complete opposites. I thought we played really well in the first 6 overs batting first. That's when you can play the same way you play at Chinnaswamy and you keep wanting to go that way and you lose 3 or 4 wickets in the powerplay. But to have a 50 partnership in the first 6 overs, I think it was a match changing partnership.
I think batting first here was important. It looked like spinner's hard work even Mahipal bowled an over and got the ball to hold a bit. It keeps the job easier as a captain. Chinnaswamy sometimes it feels like the ball is going everywhere and tactically just think on your feet and here you just bowl the ball in a good area and its pretty hard to score.
In my mind 135 was a really good score. We were going towards that and myself and DK were saying 135 would be a really good score but once you come in on the pitch it gets very hard to score so when we got that score and before we went on to the field, we said to the guys that we feel its a match winning score because the nature of the wicket is very tough and if we get 2 or 3 wickets in the powerplay especially with KL not being in the batting order, its gonna be hard for them.
I am super happy for Karn. He's just one of those guys who does all the hard work all the time. Doesn't always get the recognition. He's actually bowled really well for us this season but once again the nature of playing at Chinnaswamy, its tough for a leg spinner. Unbelievable from him tonight and then Hazlewood, its great to have him back in the side. He's experienced, nothing to the guys that's filled his shoes. But obviously someone like him brings so much calmness and composure to the bowling attack. So I think for him as well, he would have liked to start on this wicket rather than bowling at Chinnaswamy so its a nice way to ease him into the competition."
