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!

No, I was notthinking that it can happen. But if there was aloose ball, I would hit it. If there was a chance Iwould get it. Everything I try to learn from him[JosButtler]. The way he practices and plays his game.I was prepared for that, the practice, and whenIgo there, I can go for it. I knew that I had thepractice.Oh, I wasn't aware of it. Later when Ilooked atit, Isaw that it was a no-ball. Later, Sanju Bhai told methat koi baat nahi [not an issue in hindi]."Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Ithink me scoring runs hahaha [what didn't gowell]. I think the way Iplay this format was to goout there and play with a strike rate of 140 or 145strike rate, if we do this it is quite normal to getdismissals like this. It is a funny moment I feel. Iwas feeling that i was going to take a good catchandit happened. Sometimes you feel like thatandI did it.Yes off course, definitely right. Last day, it was wetgame, and the ball swinging through. We needto be used to play in wet ball and with Yuzi andAshwin, they have the experience to bowl with thewet balls. He is always looking at the batters andgetting the hints. A comprehensive win for theRajasthan Royals here in Guwahati as they winby 57 runs to notch up their second win in threegames. They have outplayed the Delhi Capitals inall facets of the game as David Warner's side losetheir third straight game in a row. A lot of issues toaddress for the Capitals.Chasing a mammoth 20O for the win, DelhiCapitals lost their impact player Prithvi Shaw fora bronze duck and Manish Pandey for a goldenduck. That set them back and they never gotgoing to be honest. Rilee Rossouw fell for 14.Skipper David Warner struggled through to get to65 off 55 balls. Lalit Yadav tried to give impetus tothe innings but he fell for 38 off 24 balls. The restof the batters did not get to double digits as theCapitals crawled their way to 142/9 in 20 overs.There was no intent shown through the course ofthe innings as not a single six was hit.98Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers with 3/29in 4 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin chipped in with2/25 in4 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal got 3 wicketsfor 27 runs in 4 overs. Sandeep Sharma got theother wicket and bowled as miserly as ever. All inall, a disciplined bowling performance alongsidean awesome fielding performance from theRoyals.Earlier in the game, Rajasthan Royals whowere put into bat first came out all guns blazingcourtesy of their openers Yashasvi Jaiswal andJos Buttler. The duo put on 98 runs inside 9 overs.Jaiswal was the initial aggressor as he scored 60off 31 balls. Jos Buttler top scored and anchoredthe innings with his blistering 79 off 51 balls.Shimron Hetmyer's unbeaten 39 off 21 balls tookRR closer to the 200-run mark. They finished with199/4 in 20 overs.Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers for theDelhi Capitals with a couple of wickets in his spell.A wicket apiece for Kuldeep Yadav and RovmanPowell. It was a tough day for the Capitals inthe field and with the ball and all in all, thetournament has not started well for them.So, the Royals courtesy of their win climbs to thetop of the IPL standings owing to a superior netrun rate compared to the other teams.I knew that they have a lot of left-handers at thetop of the order. It was very important for getthrough the powerplay and Ashwin was verygood in helping us. No, I think he are still to figureOut it."Sanju Samson presents the purple cap toYuzvendra Chahal.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "Whenyou are chasing 200, you have to start well inthe powerplay. Trent Bouit bowledamazinglyand we couldn't get well. It is always a challengeagainst him. It is all about the skills and the planfor powerplay. All and where we are professionalathletes. Out here it is all about executing. Wewill look to rebound here and head to Mumbai,perhaps Mumbai, swinging conditions again.athletes. Out here it is all aboutexecuting. Wewill look to rebOund here and head to Mumbai,perhaps Mumbai, swinging conditions again.The team will always look to bowl well to you.It's frustrating to hit to the fielders off late. Look Ithink, if we could have keep him around 170-180.With Khaleel Ahmed going down it was achallenge as well. Rovman Powell was good."Warner gets the Orange Cap.
