That brings this night to an end. What a brilliant exhilarating game of cricket. Buttler stole the show with that sensational century in the first innings and Rovman Powell nearly pulled off an impossible win for the Delhi Capitals. The last over of the match was controversial but with RR, this has not happened for the first time(Dhoni in 2019) but surely questions are going to be raised about that umpire's decision and why wasn't it referred! Do join us tomorrow for the weekend double-headers. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans in the afternoon and Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in the evening. Until then, this is Shubham Agarwal signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ninaad, Arya SC, and our scorer/analyst, Paras Yadav. Goodnight and stay healthy!
Jos Buttler, Player of the Match- It was a special knock, enjoyed it. I love this stadium, a fantastic atmosphere. Also my first ever IPL was here with the Mumbai Indians. I am enjoying it and this is probably the best form of my life. I would want to continue with this form all throughout. In the initial few overs, the ball was swinging both ways and we needed to set our eyes in. Once I got through it, the confidence came back. Devdutt also played well from the other end, and we decided to attack and put the pressure back on Delhi. The ball was coming onto the bat extremely well! It's all a part and parcel of the game. There wasn't any dew tonight, the teams might favor batting first. Everyone will need to adapt as the tournament goes on.
Sanju Samson, RR skipper- I think it went for a six. It went for a full toss but the batsman wanted it to be a no-ball but the umpires stuck to their decision. I think we wanted. tobe around McCoy. It's not easy for a bowler to concede three sixes and then bowl the next three balls. He was very confident with the wide yorker. It came down to the bigger side of the boundary and wanted to bowl slower deliveries and it worked. It's a great performance. Last game was a tough one and challenging one and this time was also a close game. Powell with his power and any target is chasable in this ground. Very important to trust your game and trust your teammates. It's all about backing yourself. Cant say anything of batting first if I win the toss. Some point in the tournament we would like to chase some targets. Like to stick to the same. Losing toss has been a blessing. I don't think there was any dew. It's really funny to have no dew. But the bowlers are experienced enough to bowl with a wet ball. The experience of Chahal and Ravi Ashwin has been exceptional for us and fingers crossed that it keeps going our way. It's normal to drop catches. I told Chahal to recover from a drop catch. Yuzi wanted to bowl an extra over. He was very cool and calm and bowled brilliantly after that. DDP is doing a great tole. We are encouraging him for his 20s and 30s which is also a crucial part of the game. He is a very smart cricketer and lot more to come from him.

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Murali Kartik.
Ravichandran Ashwin- The last over was topsy-turvy. I was just keeping my fingers crossed. Devdutt was standing at point and asking me, 'It's not happening right?' and I said, 'No, I hope it's not happening.' I think that break when the coach came in and the whole thing happened, I think that sort of settled our nerves.
Rishabh Pant: "I think they were bowling well throughout the game and in the end Powell gave us chance. The no ball could have been precious for us and they would have checked that but that is not in my control. Everyone was frustrated, everyone in the ground saw that. The TV umpire should have intervened but I cannot change the rule. What I did was not right but the decision was also not right. Throughout the season we have seen good umpiring and were hoping to see it again tonight. It hurts more when you go so close when the opposition scores more than 220. We could have bowled much better but it is the part and parcel of the game. We can ask them to keep their chin up and come back stronger."
429 runs were scored tonight evening but the Rajasthan Royals have won this match! The first innings was all about the Buttler Show! Scored his 3rd century of the season(116 off 65), 72% of that came in boundaries and completely took apart the Delhi Capitals bowlers! Rajasthan openers were off to their best start, started slowly in the first few overs but after, scored 155 in just 15 overs. Padikkal was back amongst the runs tonight, scoring 54 off 35. Samson also played a crucial cameo, 46 off 19, in the death overs and pushed the team total to 222/2. Khaleel(4-47-1) and Kuldeep(3-40-0) were the most expensive bowlers tonight and failed to repeat their previous match performances! Every bowler was taken apart by the RR batters.
The Delhi capital openers started off with a blast, scoring 43 in just 4 overs but RR bowlers came roaring back! Warner was looking aggressive but was dismissed with a beauty off Krishna and even Shaw gifted his wicket away after getting a good start there. Rishabh Pant(44 off 24) was looking really dangerous and looked like the pillar between RR's win and loss but gifted his wicket away under pressure. Thakur was promoted up the order but couldn't utilize the opportunity. Lalit(37 off 24) held one end, wickets kept falling at the other but he kept fighting till the end and played a brilliant inning! Powell did give some hopes in the last over with 3 consecutive sixes off first 3 but could not take his team over the finishing line and DC finished at 207/8!
Prasidh Krishna(4-22-3) was the hero for Rajasthan Royals with the bowl today, taking big wickets in the form of Warner and Pant and putting the capitals under serious pressure. Ashwin bowled an economical spell and took two crucial wickets of Prithvi and Sarfaraz. Chahal(4-28-1) was on the money once again with his line and lengths. Stay tuned for the presentations coming up..
What an edge of the seat, Friday night thriller this was for the fans! 36 runs off 2 overs. 19th over- wicket maiden by Prasidh. 20th over- 18 off the first 3 deliveries but McCoy roared back and gave 3 runs off the next 3 balls! Rajasthan Royals win the match by 15 runs!

19.6 O McCoy to R Powell
W The final delivery of the match and Sanju Samson takes a brilliant catch to end the match. Was in the slot from McCoy but Powell with momentum not on his side swings across the line and ends up getting a top edge which has been brilliantly grabbed by Samson. He calls for it straightaway and hangs onto it. An incredible final over which had everything.
19.5 O McCoy to R Powell
2 Slower delivery on the leg stump on a length. Helped around by Rovman Powell works it away down the deep backward square keg region and has enough time to take a couple of runs.
