talking points
1. Liam Livingstone's moment comes finally
Liam was leaning in front of the Livingstone game. It was not limited to IPL only. He did not score a half-century in more than nine innings in white-ball cricket. However, he extended his time for his time to make his time of his time for his time. The main attraction of his 54-run knock was in the final of Rashid Khan, in which he hit the maximum of three large scale from leg-spinner.
2. Mohammad Siraj illuminated the former house site with dazzling performance
This was the first time Mohammad Siraj was playing against RCB in Chinnaswamy after seven long sessions with the franchise.

3. Jose Butler's blade re -cuts through RCB
Jose Butler came out to bat in the fifth over, replacing Skipper Shubman Gill in the middle. He took nine delivery to bring his first limit.

who said what?
Mohammad Siraj, match players
I was a little emotional. I had been here for 7 years, changed the jerry from red to blue and was emotional but once I got the ball I was fine. I am a fan of Ronaldo and therefore celebration. I was playing continuously, but during the break I corrected my mistakes and worked on my fitness. Once when I was picked up by the Titans of Gujarat, I talked to Ashish BrotherHe (Nehra) asks me to enjoy his bowling and Issu (Ishant) Brother Let me tell you which line and length to bowl. My mindset is confident and then the pitch does not matter.
Shubman Gill, GT Captain
We have seen on this ground; It was a good attempt to limit them to 170 (169). Sometimes something happens in the wicket; You can score 250 as well as get the initial wickets, there was something for the fast bowlers in the first 7-8 overs and we knew that if we choose the initial wicket, we are in the game. You are disappointed but you need to keep coming back, hold the next opportunity. We batted professionally considering the wicket. It is all about being favorable to the situation and playing accordingly.
Silver Patidar, RCB captain
Not 200, we were targeting around 190 after Powerplay, but losing the initial wickets damaged the match. I think the intention was good, but we should not have lost 3 wickets in PP, it was a wicket. The circumstances became better, the bowlers were trying to defend this clan, it was amazing to see this chase in the 18th over. The way Jitesh, Liam Livingstone and Tim David, the way he batted, it was positive for us. We are confident about the batting line-up, they are showing some positive intentions that are very good for us.
