Yashasvi Jaiswal (Player of the Match): "I am trying to learn and it is very important for me. I am trying to express myself. No, I was not thinking that it can happen. But if there was a loose ball, I would hit it. If there was a chance I would get it. Everything I try to learn from him[Jos Buttler]. The way he practices and plays his game. I was prepared for that, the practice, and when I go there, I can go for it. I knew that I had the practice. 

Oh, I wasn't aware of it. Later when I looked at it, I saw that it was a no-ball. Later, Sanju Bhai told me that koi baat nahi [not an issue in hindi]."
Player of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal
Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "I think me scoring runs hahaha [what didn't go well]. I think the way I play this format was to go out there and play with a strike rate of 140 or 145, if we do this it is quite normal to get dismissals like this.

It is a funny moment I feel. I was feeling that I was going to make a good catch and it happened. Sometimes you feel like that and I did it.

Yes of course, definitely right. Last day, it was wet ball game, and the ball swung through. We need to be used to playing with wet balls and with Yuzi and Ashwin, they have the experience to bowl with the wet balls.
He [Ashwin] is always looking at the batters and getting the hints. I knew that they have a lot of left-handers at the top of the order. It was very important to get through the powerplay and Ashwin was very good at helping us. No, I think we are still to figure it out."
Sanju Samson presents the purple cap to Yuzvendra Chahal.
Active catch of the Match: Sanju Samson
Longest Six award: Shimron Hetmyer
Most fours: Jos Buttler.
Electrifying Striker of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal
David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "When you are chasing 200, you have to start well in the powerplay. Trent Boult bowled amazingly and we couldn't get well. It is always a challenge against him. It is all about the skills and the plan for powerplay. All and where we are professional athletes. Out here it is all about executing. We will look to rebound here and head to Mumbai, perhaps Mumbai, swinging conditions again.

The team will always look to bowl well to you. It's frustrating to hit to the fielders off late. Look I think, if we could have keep him around 170-180. With Khaleel Ahmed going down it was a challenge as well. Rovman Powell was good."
Warner gets the Orange Cap.
Time for presentation...
There are some issues with the mic that David Warner has with him.
7:20 PM IST: A comprehensive win for the Rajasthan Royals here in Guwahati as they win by 57 runs to notch up their second win in three games. They have outplayed the Delhi Capitals in all facets of the game as David Warner's side lose their third straight game in a row. A lot of issues to address for the Capitals.   

Chasing a mammoth 200 for the win, Delhi Capitals lost their impact player Prithvi Shaw for a bronze duck and Manish Pandey for a golden duck. That set them back and they never got going to be honest. Rilee Rossouw fell for 14. Skipper David Warner struggled through to get to 65 off 55 balls. Lalit Yadav tried to give impetus to the innings but he fell for 38 off 24 balls. The rest of the batters did not get to double digits as the Capitals crawled their way to 142/9 in 20 overs. There was no intent shown through the course of the innings as not a single six was hit. 
98 
Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers with 3/29 in 4 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin chipped in with 2/25 in 4 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal got 3 wickets for 27 runs in 4 overs. Sandeep Sharma got the other wicket and bowled as miserly as ever. All in all, a disciplined bowling performance alongside an awesome fielding performance from the Royals. 

Earlier in the game, Rajasthan Royals who were put into bat first came out all guns blazing courtesy of their openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. The duo put on 98 runs inside 9 overs. Jaiswal was the initial aggressor as he scored 60 off 31 balls. Jos Buttler top scored and anchored the innings with his blistering 79 off 51 balls. Shimron Hetmyer's unbeaten 39 off 21 balls took RR closer to the 200-run mark. They finished with 199/4 in 20 overs. 

Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers for the Delhi Capitals with a couple of wickets in his spell. A wicket apiece for Kuldeep Yadav and Rovman Powell. It was a tough day for the Capitals in the field and with the ball and all in all, the tournament has not started well for them.

So, the Royals courtesy of their win climbs to the top of the IPL standings owing to a superior net run rate compared to the other teams.

19.6 S Sharma to K Yadav
1 And that's it. There's the win for the Rajasthan Royals. Good length delivery at the off stump line and keeps low here. Yadav leans forward to sweep and mistimes towards short fine leg fielder who dives around the ball and allows a single. A magnificent 57 runs win for them and the Royals have gifted the Guwahati crowd a wonderful present before they sign off from the venue.
19.5 S Sharma to K Yadav
0 Full aiming at the stumps. Yadav manufactures a bit of room and gets the outside half behind square on the off side this time. He looked to drive it.
19.4 S Sharma to K Yadav
0 Whiskers past the outside edge this time. Full and outside the off-peg line. Kuldeep looks to drive on the up and is beaten. Slight bit of appeal from Samson but the umpire denies.
