Dinesh Karthik is the Player of the Match. He says he has made a conscious effort and did justice to himself. Adds that he has a goal and he knew he wasn't done yet. Tells he tries to figure out the situation and stays calm. He has practiced hard and many people have helped him leading to this tournament. Laughs by saying he loves this red and black costume to wear.

Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangalore says that to pull it out of nowhere, someone needs some great character and DK is a great character. He is really calm and such a great asset to them. Adds that they bowled really well, up to the 18th over, and then Jos Buttler got some good shots and put a score that was above-par. Mentions that they started quite well, but then Chahal bowled really well to get them back in. On Shahbaz Ahmed, he says that people think that since he is a skinny guy, he can't hit it long but he can smash it a long way.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Harshal Patel is also down for a chat. He says it was nice to help his team cross the line. Adds that he had his plans, he just hit the length hard and he thought it was a good batting pitch but it was completely different. Tells that he sets himself after looking at the field and what the batter is thinking.

Sanju Samson is down for a chat. He says that he can't point out where the game changed. Says the bowlers did well and even Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer gave a good finish but it was hard with dew coming up. Adds that Dinesh Karthik has a great experience but they should have taken some time in the field to tackle him. Adds there are many positives to take from the loss.

After getting to a blistering start, Bangalore lost their way out in the middle. Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat provided Bangalore with the perfect start, but once they perished, runs dried up and wickets started to fall. It was the partnership of Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed that guided them over the line. Dinesh Karthik started firing from the word go, while Shahbaz Ahmed put up a great show as well. The duo notched up 67 runs together and put Bangalore in the driver's seat and they never looked back thereafter. Though Shahbaz Ahmed perished, Dinesh Karthik made sure he gets his side over the line. With this victory, Bangalore have managed to grab two vital points. An emphatic win for Faf du Plessis and his men.

Rajasthan did not have the best start with the ball, they leaked 48 runs in the Powerplay. But they fought back well and grabbed five quick wickets, and put themselves ahead in the game. Rajasthan were all over Bangalore during the middle phase. However, once Dinesh Karthik walked in to bat, the bowlers had no answer to his brutal hitting. Yuzvendra Chahal was the leader of the pack, he grabbed two wickets and gave away just 15 runs in his spell. The first defeat for Rajasthan, however, they do have a few positives to take from this defeat.

From 48 for 0 in the Powerplay to 88 for 5 at the end of 13 overs, to sealing victory with 5 balls to spare. What a dramatic game this has been! But it is Bangalore that have managed to get over the line and they have handed Rajasthan their first defeat of the tournament. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal will bowl the final over of the match. 

Prasidh Krishna will bowl the penultimate over.
