Sam Curran (Punjab Kings Captain and Player of the Match): "I thought we played well as a group. We bowled well and showed great pride out there. We did not go through the motion and went for the win.
Nathan Ellis was good and we could have played him earlier.
The wicket was slow as Jonny said and we had a good partnership with Jitesh. We did not have to go hard. We showed great character out there and won the game.
Yes, me and Jonny are leaving tomorrow morning for England duty. Would have loved to stay till the end here, but we have World Cup duty.
Proud of the boys as they did a great job out there. We showed character. Hindsight is a wonderful thing as we lost close games and that's the reason we lost out on playoffs spot.
Plenty of positives for us. The way Shashank and Ashutosh played throughout the season. Harshal had a great season as well. We showed character and proud of the boys and hope that we can end with a win in Hyderabad.
Thank the Punjab crowd for all their support throughout the tournament."

Time for the post-match presentation...
Jitesh Sharma (PBKS): "I hadn't expected to bat today, but I'm glad I did. It's a relief that I was able to middle the ball l and contribute to our win. The pitch seemed slow, but with some intent, scoring runs was possible.
(On wicket-keeping) Bairstow is going for the World Cup, so he wanted to practice in a game, but I'll be back with the gloves next match. And my fielding isn't bad either (chuckles). In the last game, we'll showcase our caliber through our bench strength. There's no doubt we've already shown what we're capable of."

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Maybe a little more. Not this kind of wicket, we were expecting a better wicket. The batting we have, we should have got 160-165. That's where we lost the game."
"It is nice to have an additional bowling option as it gets tough when you have just five but I am used to it now for the last three years and we have quality five bowlers.
"We have to sit and accept that we are going through failures. You have to find out where it is not working for us as a unit. In the business end of such a big tournament, it is about showing character and standing up. This is the time we need some characters who can stand up and do the job for the team."
"We wanted something around 160-170, we have to play smart cricket and build those partnerships. Hoping that the results go in our favour in the upcoming games."

18.5 A Khan to A Sharma
1 Single and that's it. PBKS complete a five-wicket victory over RR, who slump to their fourth defeat in a row. A skipper's innings by Curran, while Ashutosh did what he does best. Back of a length delivery, angling in, but down leg, Ashutosh goes for the swivel pull, but mistimes it towards fine-leg for a run to seal the deal with 7 balls remaining.
18.4 A Khan to A Sharma
6 SIX! That's some shot from Ashutosh Sharma! The scores are level now! Good length delivery angling at the off and middle stump line. Ashutosh clears his front leg and whacks it nicely over the long-on for a biggie. Good execution from the right-handed batter and it sails into the second tier.
