That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. That's all 10 teams done for IPL 2022's first round. Royals move to first on the points table with today's mammoth win. Tomorrow we have KKR facing RCB. Do join us then! On behalf of Chandan and Deivarayan, this is Sreshth saying ta-da!

Time for the presentation.

Winning captain AND Player of the Match Sanju Samson: "It was a very different wicket than what we thought. If you bowled Test match lengths, the wicket was helping fast bowlers. (Goals for IPL 2022) No long term goals, just want to win as much as possible and contribute to team's victory. Working on my fitness, game awareness, understanding conditions, and choosing my scoring options. Not rushing. I would like to spend lot of time in the middle knowing I can catch up anytime. (Auction strategy) Yes I had some say. Having a leader like Sanga, he gave me final option. Luckily everyone, lot of cricketing brains have worked together to get a good squad. I think every season we come with great dreams, its a franchise that takes good care of us. Our owners trust us, give us space. One game at a time."

Chris: "So by the end of the 1st round... The so called established captains lose and the young guns lift der respective teams! Coincidence? "

Prasidh Krishna (2-16): "I hit the hard lengths after seeing their bowlers. I got two slips in. When Jos got out, he said it was tough to hit off straighter lengths. Now that we've played the first match together (with Samson), we talk what is the best thing on how many overs I bowl in a spell. Boult put pressure and that helped me get wickets as well. We've had a few practice games, everybody had a good hit, good bowl - everyone has good experience and that will come to use in the future."

Losing captain Kane Williamson: "I think we started beautifully with the ball. We've seen in all games there's swing and assistance with the new ball - you have to try and make some inroads. We looked likely, but some fine margins. It was a good surface and they are a difficult team to stop. For us, we need to look at it logically and there are a number of things to improve on. That said, T20 throws some curveballs at you, got to get your chin up. (No balls from own bowlers) Its not something common to us as a side. It was a surprise. We certainly don't want to be doing that. It represents extra deliveries and when you take a wicket off it, its never nice. A number of things you can't control. (Umran Malik) Exciting, has the raw pace. He's young, got some experience last year and surely will continue to get better. We've got to side down, we've had a few days before the next game. We know the nature of T20 can be fickle. We were put under pressure in the first innings' second half, and for us as a young team we need to be nice and clear on what we want to execute. We want to learn. With the bat, it was tough - the ball moved. We threw some punches at the back end, and Rajasthan did that beautifully too."

Jay: "Interesting conundrum for MoM. My choice Prasidh Krishna, though they will give it to Sanju most likely!"

Vikas: "Importance of being 50/2 rather than 14/3 in a high scoring chase. SRH fell short only 60 and with some stability at the top, they might have even pulled this one off."

11.11pm Make a wish, Royals fans, it's 11.11. Will this be your year? Surely couldn't have wanted a more dominating performance from your team first up. Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult did the early damage, Yuzvendra Chahal ran through the middle order, and of course the batters tonked it high and mighty today. All their key players did a solid job, and they'll hope the Coulter-Nile injury isn't too serious either. As for the Sunrisers, they should save a couple of applauses for Markram and Sundar for saving them an embarrassment of what could easily have been a defeat of 100+ runs. Also, the jinx of batting first is finally broken. Pune, the city, produces the first successful batting defense in IPL 2022.

Mas: "@Alex. They have Obed McCoy who can replace Coulter-Nile and complete that bowling attack with a potent death bowling option. "

Riyan Parag to bowl. Free hit, remember.

final over.

StevO: "At least Markram, Shephard and especially Sundar saved Sunrisers from a horrific NRR start. Take some positives from the game."

Sameer: "Unpopular opinion.. Glen Phillips in place of pooran,and can open.. Or esle open with abdul samad.. Washy can handle pressure in the end of the innings better than abdul samad or Abhishek "

The record for fastest fifty is KL Rahul's 14-ball 51.

Adi: "Abhishek Sharma has been sensational as an opener in domestic cricket. Cut him some slack, and watch him repay the faith in the next matches. This is SRH's strongest team, and they should be given 2-3 more chances before any change. "

Alex: "Why oh why do teams keep selection Coulter-Nile? He's uneconomical, rarely takes important wickets, and offers nothing with the bat!" -- On paper, Royals are missing a dedicated death-overs bowler. Prasidh's not known to be too successful at the death and Boult is too good at the top to not use him for three overs there

Ashish : "Agree with meera, open with sundar and get in a better batsman. "

Azeez: "Washy gave 47 in 3, made sure he has someone else for company. NCN 47 in 3!!!"

Azweer: "IPL Myth: If you loose the first game of the tournament, you get an opportunity to lift the trophy."

Roshith : "That's Chahal's revenge to Coulter-Nile :P"

Gagan Longia: "I think KW's wicket was the turning point of the innings. His wicket caused a ripple effect and hence the destruction. Had he been given not out (on the basis of benefit of doubt), present state would have been different. Can't say much about the match result though as chasing 200 is always a challenge."

Meera: "Better to open with washington sundar and keep Abhishek Sharma out for a proper batter or a proper bowler"
