Suyash Sharma vs PBKS (Qualifier 1) [Tonight]*
Suyash Sharma (POTM): "Sir, I have performed well and hence everyone is happy for me.
The coaches have given me one role that is to hit the stumps, be it with the googlies, with the leg spinners or with the flippers. Whatever I bowl should finish on the stumps was what the coaches have told me.
Googly is my stock ball. There was some help from the wicket. So, the batters didn't pick them.
We will celebrate hard on June 3rd. Thank you, sir."

Player of the Match: Suyash Sharma
Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): "We were very clear in our bowling plans. Fast bowlers used the surface pretty well. The way Suyash chipped in with his line and length was incredible.
[On Suyash Sharma] As a captain I am pretty much clear about his bowling. His strength is to bowl in line of the stumps. His googly is very hard to pick. I don't want to confuse him. We don't mind him conceding a few runs.
[On Salt's role] The way he's batting in most of the matches. The way he's giving the start, it's a dream to watch him from the dug out. I am a huge fan of him.
[On what making to the finals means] I want to thank RCB fans, not only Chinnaswamy but wherever we go, we feel at home. We all love you. Just one more game and let's celebrate together."
