IPL23 Match No 32 RCB vs RR this match RCB won by 7 runs. Glenn Maxwell: "Yeah, it's a position that I don'tmind coming to bat. I have done that many timesplaying for Australia whenever they lose twoquick wickets in the powerplay. Came into theseason with good form, and have a good trust inthe dressing room.With the new ball, it skidded off the surfaceand came nicely to the bat and needed to beproactive. As the ball became old, it became a bittricky for the batters. You saw the chaos in the lastphase of the innings. But thought that the scorewe put in was enough on this surface.I thought that it was my job to finish the jobfor the team. Should have batted through andmade sure that wve end up posting a big total. IfImanaged to get through that ball or even tooka single, I would have stayed longer and finishedthe innings. I think it's myjob, very simple. Thereis a big gap in the batting line-up which I have to Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 7 runstake the responsibility to fill. Overall, happy withthe win."Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain):"To be honest we had this discussion at the toss,the pitch looked dry. The impotant thing was,we had10 overs under the lights and if we hit theright lines they could not get it a way but with theimpact player rule the game is different and weare very happy we could win it.I was saying to Harshal upstairs because I thinkthis counter-attack was better than the ChennaiGame. The way Maxi came out and batted wasamazing, to take the game away in just 4 overs,and then Fafjoined in too, it was an amazing partnership. We thought at one stage 160 wouldbe enough but the way they batted, they put us ina commanding position.Siraj's wicket of Buttler was phenomenal, he isbowling as well as I've seen over, he is leadingour attack until Josh comes in next game andhe has been doing a tremendous job, I'm realyhappy with him. Harshal bowls the tough overs,he does not have the new ball in hand, and youare going to get hit at times but he isa smart guyand for him to bowl like that and close the gamewas fantastic. He bowled well in the Delhi game too and once Josh is back we will have a newbowling unit"Active Catch of the Match: Shahbaz Ahmed (SanjuSamson's catch)Longest Six Award: Glenn Maxwell (91 Metres)Most Fours Award: Faf du Plessis (8 Fours)Most Valuable Asset of the Match: Glenn Maxwell Mohammed Siraj (Royal Challengers Bangaloreand current Purple Cap Holder): "Ialways try tokeep it simple and bowl on good length tryingto swing it I am enjoying the challenge to bowlwith the new ball. The ball is coming out of thehand nicely. Purple Cap comes and goes butperforming consistently is what matters themost. Only one ball has swung into Jaiswal andthe others went aCross. Then I concentrated onSCrambled seam more often. There was a bitreverse and not east to hit those for sixes. Hajwith the role of a leader of the bowling."Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Ahh..I think when we play in this ground anythingaround 12-13 runs in the final over is gettable.It's all about momentum and usually, Hettie(Hetmyer) does it for us. Today, Jurel was briliantand scored well. But it was a matter ofa shothere and there. The selection of the numberthree batter depends on which team we areplaying against, who is bowling and what is thesituation. Whether we are chasing or setting atarget. Yeah, I think with his experience Ashwis definitely a batter to come ata pressuresituation. He has done it before. He was there in acOuple of matches and did well to provide someboundaries. So, he was the man at that moment.Winning and losing are the parts and parcels ofthe game. In IPL these come and go (on losingmargins getting closer). We need to put it on theback and move in with daily routines."7:30 PM IST | AND WITH THAT THE ROYALCHALLENGERS BANGALORE SEAL A THRILLINGVICTORY IN THE GAME!
