Two cracking matches, making it a special Saturday, with Delhi Capitals breaching the Chepauk fortress in the afternoon game before Rajasthan Royals shut down the hosts, Punjab Kings at their backyard in the evening encounter. Tomorrow, as we know, the doubleheader has been cut down to a single game with SRH hosting GT.
For now, this is me AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ninaad Dixit and Pritam Dey, who, alongside our scorers Paras Yadav and Manish Bishnoi and statistician Aman, brought you all the live-action of this blockbuster. We will meet again. Until then, it's cheers!

Jofra Archer (Player of the Match): "The beginning of the tournament I wasn't that happy but most importantly happy to contribute to the team win.
When you have days like this, you have to cash in because you can have bad days as well.
[On expectations] You've got to understand that you can get lucky in some circumstances and in sometimes the batter can get ahead of you. Everyone is training as hard. Every day is not going to be a great day. But on the good days you have to enjoy because the bad day is around the corner."

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Thank you so much. I think the way we started in the powerplay with the bat, we were a few runs short but the way everyone should batsmanship was brilliant. I knew that they will struggle as well in the 2nd Innings. 205 was a good total.
Well, I have said that before as well. We have a very deep batting line-up, they are young in age but have a lot of potential. They have played a lot of games for their country. I think we managed the game pretty well.
(On Jofra Archer & Sandeep Sharma) Absolutely, that's a deadly combo. One guy is bowling at 140 while the other at 105. We are very happy with the way both of them are working. I can trust them a bit more in pressure overs. Jofra doing Jofra things. We love it when he bowls fast. And Sandy, he is one of the best guys in the death in India. Just superb.
We did have a small meeting during the time-out. Punjab had a quality line-up and we can't take it easily in IPL. Any game is different. Till the last ball is bowled, we cannot guarantee a win.
Yeah absolutely. We just took sometime to understand our combination. Now we have found our pattern and everything else will take care of itself. Everyone needs to take care of their body."
