Marco Jansen: It definitely felt really tight because the ball was flying everywhere. For us, it was just about staying in the game. (Chat after the powerplay) We knew 2 or 3 or 4 good overs will bring their run-rate down or run-rate up for them. For us it was just about not conceding as many boundaries as we did in the first six overs. I think we did that quite well in the middle and finished it off in the back-end. (Chat with Arshdeep Singh) I gave one option, he gave a certain option, we went with his option and it worked and that's why I smiled. Went away for a couple of days before coming back. For me personally, the body feels good, getting a small break definitely helped me in terms of mental things. It was about finding my feet and then whenever the team needed me, just try and step up like everyone has been doing.

Sanju Samson | RR captain: We started of really well, couldn't ask for anything more having scored 90 runs in the powerplay. We couldn't carry on the momentum we got in the powerplay. It (target) was quite achievable today. The wicket played completely different today. That was a chaseable score with the kind of power-hitters we had. It's a bit hard to nail it down to one thing, we have to get the job done. A couple of experienced guys should take responsibility and do their job. Definitely a lot of improvements to be done for the upcoming season. We can't try much, the first priority is to win the game (vs CSK.)
