Ipl23 Match no 4 RR vs SRH this match RR won by 72 runs. Jos Buttler (Player of the Match): "Fantastic startfor us. We hada really good season last year but itcOunts for nothing. We start fresh this year and itsa great marker for us as the first game.Iplan a little bit but you react on the day andassess the conditions. Try and play accordingly,try and put the opposition under pressure. Reallyenjoying my batting at the moment and trying tokeep a clear mind.Imjust trying to keep a clear mind and try toreact. Once you geta good start in the powerplay,not too wickets down, allows you to be quiteaggressive and looking for the big shots."Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Skipper): "Iwas wondering how we will start this season buthappy to start with the win. Having batters likeButtler and Jaiswal, we can expect to score bigin the powerplay. We definitely are a very goodside. But you never know with this format andtournamnent. So we have to keep our heads downand keep working hard. We did a decentjob towin this game. There are plenty of strengths butthere should be weaknesses. You can't be 100%right all the time. We will find the weaknesses aswe move ahead in the tournament."Yuzvendra Chahal:" The way we got the startin batting. The way Jos and Yashasvi batted, weknew that it is a big score on this pitch and it willIbe hard to hit. Ialways back myself. I don't botherwho's batting and all. My plan was to vary thepace and bowl stump to stump.Its always my strength. I am not doing anythingnew. Sometimes I don't get wickets, sometimesI get hit, its the same thing. When I get a fifer orsomething, definitely a new celebration will come.Its justa first match, too early to celebrate."Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Sunrisers HyderabadSkipper): Just got to forget it and move forward.Last five to six overs we pulled things back withthe ball. There was something in it for the bowlersbut we didn't bowl well upfront. They also battedreally well. Captain is coming back and it willdefinitely be a good batting side. It was a prettygood track. The good thing is that we can getwhatever we want and we quickly need to bounceback in our next game.": The finalists of the previous seasonget off to the new season in style with a huge72 run victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabaddefeating the Orange Arnmy on their home turfin Hyderabad.

IPL23 Match no 50 RCB vs DC this Match DC won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "We spoke beforethe game about being positive and take them on.We saw how good they were in Bangalore whenthey had their tails up.The real strength of mine is when I get going Idon't really look to take my foot off the pedal toooften. We knew the wicket was quite slow andlow and we knew that realistically we would slowdown in the middle.I thought it was par. I thought we would have tobat really well to get there but the boys came outswinging and played really wel.Marsh came in and hit the second ball for six orsomething like that and it puts the bowlers on thebackfoot. He's a top player.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "That wasamazing. I thought 180 was probably par score.The ball started skidding nicely at the back end. Iwas confident restricting them to 180 if we comeOut with the intent led by Phil Salt to try chase thistotal down.We said from the outside that we wanted to gofor the target. Siraj and Hazlewood might havebowled the other overs well but that was Ourintention today. Siraj has been bowling extremelywell and he's their backbone. He takes earlywickets in the powerplay and if we take him on a little bit and bring back his length where a lotof his dismissals have been bowled and LB. Thatwould work in our favor. We were able to get to agood start in the first 6 anda great finish there bySalty and Rilee.Credit to the way the bowlers have bowled. Theywere fantastic, they defended 130 twice. Anrichisn't here one of the most experience but Ishantleading there and Khaleel which makes us astronger. Indian bowling component. With theexperience of Kuldeep and Axar as well. They are2 outstanding bowlers and we gota great team anda great momentum now.Its all about momentum and its all jammed atthe momnent We go on to Chennai now. We knowits gonna be a tough one down there. They'vegot some good momentum as well. I think we'vefound the right balance now at the right time." Rilee Rossouw (Delhi Capitals): "We bowled quitewell. It was a great result for us. I thought it wasa decent score. Warner and Salt were wonderfulup at the top. Then Marsh followed it really well. Icame up with the same intent and tried to knockoff the remaining runs. We are wonderful as agroup. It has been an amazing feeling. They arevery supportive even though not playing.It was a tricky pitch. It was gripping and turningearlier. I think Salt playeda blinder. He wasfantastic and the way he took on the bowlersin the fist six set the match for us. Otherwise, iwould have been a tough chase. The intent of can't lose anymore brings out thebest in us. We can't lose any game from here andthe freedom it gave us was the result you sawtonight. The way we played tonight no one will tellthat we lost 6 games or how many ever. We needto keep going and who knows we might be luckyto sneak into the playoffs." Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers BangaloreCaptain): "I felt it was pretty close. We walkedaway with a total of 180+ andat the halfway markit was close. There was a bit of dew and we haveto give credit to their batters.The dew came and our spinners couldn't comeinto the play. A little bit of dew and it hamperedOur plans. I felt that the pitch changed a bit as thematch progressed. When we batted it was quiteslow. At the end of the 12th over, we thought.was a good score. Obviously, you want one ot uieovers to go for 15-20 and get to 2O0. But they got off to a strong start and the base wasset. With the dew settling in, our bowlers weren'tin control of the proceedings. Their batters putour spinners under pressure. We gave a goodfoundation for Maxi to come at three. But verypleased to see Lomror the way he played. Goodtalent and finally, he showed what he has got.Very positive from him. We want someone atnumber 3 to score runs and that will be icing onthe cake. Delhi Capitals finally removethemselves from the number 10 spot in thepoints table with a thumping win over theRoyal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets! Amagnificent batting display from the hosts whereevery batter who got the opportunity banked on itand took the team to win with 20 balls in hand.RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the tOss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181/4their 20 overs on the back of half centuries froMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off 42 ) RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181J4 intheir 20O overs on the back of half centuries fromnMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off46).
