Salman: "This could be MSD's last game." --- Could be!

Gaurav: "Wow! What a clean target for RCB. Just don't left CSK hit 200 runs!"

Cameron Green: "When the ball went into the wicket, I felt there was bounce. Pretty crazy out there [the turn after the rain]. Faf and Virat batted beautifully. It was similar to when we played Punjab in Dharamsala. You don't really set a target [while batting first]... You just try and hit as hard and as far as you can."

9.58pm First things first: if CSK score only 200 or lesser, then RCB make it to the playoffs. If CSK score anything more than 200, then they qualify at the expense of RCB even if they lose. The last five overs produce 80 for RCB! Eighty! Plenty of typically T20 cameos in that line-up: Maxwell 16 (five balls), Karthik 14 (six) and Green 38* (17). But before that, it was Kohli (47) and du Plessis (54) who set it up to give RCB plenty to defend. Join Shashank for the start of the much-awaited innings of this IPL.
