Who
Said
What
Faf
Du
Plessis
|
RCB
Captain
and
Player
of
the
Match
Nice
to
start
the
way
we
did.
In
the
powerplay,
Siraj
had
the
tail
up
and
he
set
the
tone.
Right
through
the
innings,
our
bowlers
stuck
to
the
plans.
Obviously
last
2-3
overs
something
to
improve
on.
And
that
second
innings,
if
you
want
to
know
how
to
chase
a
target,
well,
that’s
how
you
do
it.
If
you
took
pace
off
the
ball,
it
wasn’t
too
easy
to
play
and
there
was
something
in
it
for
the
spinners
but
as
a
batter
if
you
got
into
good
positions
you
could
score
runs.
My
first
time
playing
here
as
a
home
player
and
it’s
a
special
player,
especially
batting
with
Virat
Kohli.
Energy
bounces
off
him.
You
have
to
stay
with
the
youngsters,
I
still
work
hard
to
be
able
to
move
around
like
I
could
in
the
young
days.
The
confidence
this
gives,
all
of
us
are
confidence
players.
This
start
will
be
huge
for
us
as
a
team.
Virat
Kohli
I
thought
it
was
a
phenomenal
win,
a
homecoming
after
4
years.
Couldn’t
have
asked
for
a
better
game.
We
bowled
well
for
the
first
17
overs
but
then
credit
to
their
batters
especially
Tilak
who
batted
really
well.
It
was
a
very
comprehensive
win
and
we
wanted
to
win
with
balls
to
spare
as
it
will
benefit
the
NRR.
The
new
ball
was
tricky,
that’s
where
we
shifted
the
momentum,
they
can
ride
on
that
momentum
from
the
last
two
overs
of
their
batting
but
the
way
we
started
nullified
all
that
momentum.
We
kept
the
pressure
on
the
bowlers.
Phenomenal,
it
was
a
packed
crowd,
every
seat
was
full
when
we
walked
in
here.
Very
important
we
started
off
well,
their
support
propelled
us
and
that
makes
a
massive
difference.
I
think
he
was
phenomenal,
phenomenal
spell
from
him,
that’s
brave
bowling
after
getting
the
left-hander
out
[on
Karn
Sharma].
He
was
bowling
so
well
for
us
last
year
but
he
couldn’t
play.
Even
in
the
nets
he
was
not
getting
hit
for
sixes,
hats
off
to
him
for
coming
and
playing
after
so
long,
to
perform
against
such
a
strong
MI
side
at
the
Chinnaswamy
is
great
for
him.
I
wanted
to
mention
this
for
a
while
–
after
MI
who
have
5
titles
and
CSK
who
have
4,
if
I’m
not
wrong,
we
are
the
third
team
to
have
qualified
the
most
times
to
the
playoffs
–
8
times.
Take
one
game
at
a
time
and
try
to
be
a
balanced
side
which
we
are
and
we
would
look
to
execute
our
plans
as
we
did
tonight.
Rohit
Sharma
|
MI
Captain
Didn’t
have
a
great
start
with
the
bat
in
the
first
six
overs.
But,
it
was
a
really
good
effort
from
Tilak
and
a
few
other
batters.
But,
we
didn’t
execute
well
with
the
ball.
It
was
a
good
pitch
to
bat
on.
(On
Tilak
Verma)
He
is
a
positive
person,
quite
talented
as
well.
Some
of
the
shots
he
played,
showed
a
lot
of
courage.
Hats
off
to
Tilak
to
get
us
to
a
competitive
total.
It
was
a
good
pitch
to
bat
on.
We
didn’t
set
any
target
but
we
didn’t
even
bat
to
half
of
our
potential
and
we
got
to
170.
Probably
30-40
runs
more
would
have
been
ideal.
From
the
last
six
to
eight
months
I
am
used
to
playing
without
Jasprit
Bumrah.
Of
course
this
is
a
different
setup
but
someone
needs
to
put
their
hand
up
and
step
up.
We
can’t
keep
dwelling
on
it.
Injuries
are
not
in
our
control,
we
can’t
do
much
about
it.
The
other
guys
in
the
setup
are
quite
talented
as
well.
We
need
to
give
them
that
support.
Just
the
first
game
of
the
season,
there’s
a
lot
to
look
forward,
