Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (Player of the Match): "[on his 3rd POTM award] I was sitting out during the first innings, and the wicket felt good. I didn't want to rush and wanted to take my time, and if I bat for a longer period, itβs going to help the batter at the other end as well.
[on his slow start, but getting to fifty in just 23 balls] I knew I could hit 2-3 sixes in an over, so I didn't want to rush and take the team to win.
[on the talks about him] I don't read any newspapers. This is just the start. If I end up making a long career, people will always speak something about me. My focus should just remain on the game, and I should complete my journey.
[on his celebration] I don't know, I just impulsively do something new every game. Even the celebration in the last game didn't have any meaning about it.
[on the last game] We will enjoy the next game. We won't focus much on off-the-field stuff. Plenty of ups and downs in the tournament but our focus is to play good cricket and win."

A massive win for Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur β and notably, their first victory at this venue this season. Two crucial points for the Royals as they keep their playoff destiny in their own hands. The equation is simple now: RR must beat Mumbai Indians on Sunday, 24th May, to become the fourth and final team to qualify for the playoffs.
It was another special knock from the superstar Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who once again lit up his favourite venue in Jaipur but narrowly missed out on a deserved hundred. Earlier in the evening, Mitchell Marsh also fell short of a century in the first innings. For LSG, the struggles continue as another defeat leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table.
Up next, itβs a huge clash for the Kolkata Knight Riders as they take on the Mumbai Indians at the iconic Eden Gardens tomorrow.
For now, this is Pritam Dey signing off on behalf of my colleagues Ajay Pal Singh, Akshay Bhide, Ninaad Dixit, Manish Bishnoi, Paras Yadav and Aman, who brought you all the updates from this cracking contest. BYE BYEπ
