KL Rahul (Lucknow SuperGiants Captain): “I got hit on one of the throws but I am ok. A great game. At the end of the 10 over mark, the message was to get to 160 and if we have two set batters, it was about getting 10 more. They bowled well and we struggled. We were 10 short and then we bowled well. There was no dew as well. So, fair for both sides I guess.

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Skipper): “Not that great after the loss. We would have loved to win the first game in Jaipur but we will learn from it and move forward. With the batting lineup we have, we would have chased it down but they bowled well. I was expecting this kind of wicket with slow and low bounce and we got that tonight. You need to play some smart cricket. We were going well till the 9th or 10th over but as Jaiswal got out, we lost our way. Five overs and 50 required on this type of wicket and on this big ground is a tough job. We will be learning from our mistakes. We did a fine job to restrict them to a low total.”
