Sandeep Sharma (Player of the Match): "It's going well. I got fit just two days ago, so this is my first game after recovery. Feeling really good. The pitch was on the slower and lower side, so my plan was to keep bowling those variations, including cutters. It worked out really nicely tonight.
If you're bowling in the end, you have to have a big heart. As we've seen in this IPL, bowlers are under pressure and batsmen are going big. So it's important to keep believing in yourself, and execute your variations and plans. That's what I'm trying to do, and I'm enjoying myself. As you know, two years ago, I went unsold and came in as a replacement. So, any game I get to play, I consider it a bonus and just enjoy myself."

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "The credit has to go to all the players. We started off really well with the ball in the powerplay. In the end both the left handers played unbelievably well. Some quality spin, R Ashwin and Yuzi Chahal. The way they went after them was really great. Boulty, Sandeep and Avesh came back well and that won the game.
The wicket looked dry but Jaipur is still colder. When the lights come on, it looks a better wicket to bat on. It came true today.
The way Jos and Yashasvi batted for couple of overs after rain we knew that we had to just reset and go back to our momentum. People are professional enough to understand what they need to do when they get a break so I think really happy the way with approach.
Yashasvi always gets confidence. We knew its just a matter of one game. The way he batted in the powerplay, he was calm and composed knowing that things are in control. We knew in the dugout that he is playing some cricketing shots and he will be fine today. I am really happy for him.
We are going to Lucknow. Lets see how the wicket is out there and lets see how it goes."
