RCB vs RR Scorecard and Highlights: Post-Match Interviews
RCB Captain, Faf du Plessis: With the dew coming, we felt we were short with the bat. Did think we were 20 runs shy of what was a good score. Credit to the boys - they fought really well. That's all you can ask for. If you look at naturally assessing the pitch and conditions, you would say it's a 180 pitch because it was swinging upfront and was quite slow. But what we've found out this season, with the impact player, the par score isn't enough any more. Also with the dew coming in. Extremely proud. Lot of teams - their wheels would've fallen off after 1 from 9. To come back like that, six games in a row, takes a lot of heart and character. We weren't special tonight in terms of pushing that extra 20 runs with the bat.
Rovman Powell: It (situation) wasn't that difficult. It was situation where you had to put bat to ball, thankfully i minimized the pressure. I wanted to tell him to be positive than look for singles and unfortunately he got out. (On his batting position) If it was up to me I would take it a little bit earlier. Having said that we have quality batters and you have to accept the role and I am looking forward to contribute more in this role. sometimes you need things like these (Four catches). First catch (off Faf) was the one that let me take four catches. If I had put that down, it would be a haan, tough day in the field kind of situation. When you have good player like Faf and Virat you want those half chances to come to you. You put the body on the line. We have been playing good cricket overall this season, last few games we messed up. Guys are looking forward to playing in Chennai.
RR captain, Sanju Samson: What cricket and life has taught us is we will have some good and some really bad phases. But we need to have the character to bounce back. Really happy with the way we fielded, we batted and we bowled today. Credit to the bowlers, they are always looking at what the opposition batters would do and what fields to set. Credit goes to Sanga and bowling coach Bond as well. They've spent a lot of time in hotel rooms discussing these things.

RCB vs RR Live Score and Updates: Captains comments
Royal Challengers Captain: Faf du Plessis: "Would've done the same. Watching the game last night, there was assistance for the seam bowlers early on. This looks on the drier side with some fake grass on top. We've had that mindset right through. Focussing on your own skills, being true to the way you want to play. Last game against CSK was an unbelievable one. Less is more. People think when you get to the knockout stages, you need to be Superman. It's just showing the boys that you trust them. Same team."
Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson: "Would like to bowl first looking at the conditions and the wicket. There was dew last night. It's all about the mindset. Really excited to come and play in this fabulous stadium. Great energy here. Looking at what has cricket taught us. When you have bad days, need to have the character and confidence. That has been the challenging part - fitness and injuries. Hetty comes back."

RCB vs RR Live Score and Updates: Pitch Report
Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad
The pitches at this venue are aiding the batting over the year. Contrary to expectations and local trends, the black-soil pitch in the last match here was low and skiddy, making it difficult for batters to get under the ball. the square boundaries are very big at this venue which will get the spinners into the equation.
The Narendra Modi Stadium has produced some fine batting surfaces this season, while others have been great for the slower bowlers. Both teams wouldn't mind a high-scoring encounter as their squads are well-equipped for such games.
The captain who wins the toss could opt to bowl first and assess the conditions. Also, the teams will keep an eye on Qualifier 1, which takes place on Tuesday, and take into account how much of a role the dew factor plays.
