GT | lost. RCB | lost. PBKS | lost. The top-three in the points table failing to get closer to that top-two spot. So we won't know who the top-two are until Tuesday, the 27th of May when the last league game takes place. Will send the eyeballs soaring and the viewership of the IPL sky-rocketing. For now, this is it. Tomorrow we will have the last double-header of this season. Do join us for that. Till then, sleep tight and be well. See you soon. Bye.

Sameer Rizvi | Player of the Match (translated from Hindi): It feels really good. The hard work I put in the last 2-3 months has paid off. I did not have the confidence before that I can play like this at this level, but after one innings, that came and now I feel I can do it. When I went in, more than 100 was needed, I looked at my first three-four balls and then played my shots.

Faf du Plessis: It is really important. We wanted to finish top four, but finishing in top five was a fair reflection on us. (on where did the campaign go wrong for them) It's one of the great mysteries, we tried to answer that question a few times in the dressing room. Confidence, lack of runs, when you are playing well, you get to win the small margins. Every game that small window of 5-6 overs in batting and bowling and in a big tournament like that it cost us. IPL is all about young boys and domestic players, Vippy was amazing for us, not only with ball but bat as well, it's rare for a legspinner to be an allrounder. Two or three batters in that lineup, if they keep learning and improving, they can go a long way.

The presentation is happening even as a dust-storm blows across the SMS in Jaipur.

The catching efficiency at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur in IPL 2025 has been 60%, the lowest among all venues, with 28 dropped catches (the most).

8 catches were dropped today, the joint-most in a match this season alongside as many between PBKS and CSK in Mullanpur.

Karun Nair: We truly deserve this. Yes we haven't been playing our best cricket in the last few games but today we brought it to the field and showed that we're a good team. I've been hitting the ball really well. Have come into this tournament with a lot of runs so the confidence is always there. It was showing in the nets as well. It was about giving myself an opportunity, playing a few balls. I thought I was a bit hurried in the few games I played. I was playing too many shots too early. Coaches spoke to me and said "why don't you take some time and then go after the bowling". Very grateful to get back into the team (talking about his selection in the Test squad). Really happy and proud. Was eagerly waiting for the news and got a lot of messages from my close ones. Have been batting well in the last 12-16 months. It's about keeping my processes the same and do the same things that have worked for me.

Shryeas Iyer: It was a fantastic score. There was some odd and variable bounce. It was above par. I think we weren't disciplined enough with our lengths. We weren't overboard with the bouncer. Couldn't hit the hard length. It is bigger than the Premier League. You got to stay positive and calm. You come in with fresh mindset on the next day. You have to stick to the present. We got to go back to the drawing board. We will look to come in with some strong plans. The finger should be fine for the next game.

23:23 Local Time, 17:53 GMT, 23:23 IST: DC end their campaign on a high. They started with four wins in a row and were looking like the team to beat this season.

Stoinis to Sameer Rizvi, SIX, and he wins it with a six. Take a bow Sameer Rizvi.
