11:47pm Right then! That's all we've got for you from this game. Hemant's report will be up soon and you can catch up with Sidharth's match analysis. Do join us tomorrow as Sunrisers take on the Knight Riders. See you then. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Ciao! Take care.

Hardik Pandya is also the player of the match for his 87 not out: Pretty special. A lot of hard work for me tonight. It was just cramps, nothing serious. I am not used to batting this long. It gives me a lot of time. I can calculate and take risk. The last game it did not come off but today I made sure I did. I have been in this situation where I have taken the role of scoring 12-ball 30. It is difficult but now at four I can control the game. Captaincy is fun and it allows me to take responsibility and be the flag-bearer. The group carries one another. My motto was I wanted everyone to be happy.

11:35pm Hardik's really had a good day today. Batted extremely well after coming in at four, pacing his knock well. He batted through the middle and had an explosive partnership first with Abhinav and then with Miller. In reply, Royals' innings went downhill once Ferguson managed to see the back of Buttler with a clever change of pace. Hetmyer struck some lusty blows but it wasn't enough. Back soon with the presentation.

Lockie Ferguson: The way Buttler was batting, there's not a lot you can do. He lapped me on the first ball and I had to do something different. It came out well and loved seeing the stumps light up. Throughout the IPL there are many who can get on top like him. Not much you can do to get on top. Nice to see the back of him for sure. You couldn't get Hardik out of the game tonight. Love the energy he brings. We've got a lot of experience. Rashid has bowled well for so long. He's creating pressure on one end and is great to have him on my side. Certainly happier with this pitch. We managed to get little bit of seam. So far so good, but we've got Rash and Rahul Tewatia.

tanaydave1697@g: "That Sanju run out was turning point of the match in my eye. That was very irresponsible and desperate from Samson to risk his wicket for just one run and that too when the ball has not crossed 30 yard circle. He will have to re-invent himself to lead royals to play off despite having a formidable core."

Here's Sanju Samson: I would like to give credit to their batsmen. Hardik played well and Miller finished off well. If we would have had wickets in hand, this was chaseable. We were there for the run-rate and it was a matter of a few wickets. We had the power and potential. It was a freaky niggle and we missed Boult's experience in the powerplay. Hopefully he'll be back soon. Hardik had a great day today. I have played enough of IPL to understand that each game is crucial and it is important to learn the lesson and come back stronger. Momentum matters. Lot of thought process has gone behind the batting order. I was batting at 3 a lot but we felt i should come lower down and be flexible. I am happy to bat anywhere and depends on the team demands.

Dhaval: "A good comeback from Yash after a tough initiation to the IPL! "

11:25pm An allround game from Titans. Their death-overs hitting clearly helping them boss the game and get another favourable result, their fourth in five games. Royals were well in it when Buttler had got off to a flier. It seemed as if he could make a difference. But once Ferguson was handed the ball, he made immediate impact with his regular strikes, including a corker to get rid of Buttler.

Yash Dayal to Sen, no run, Bumper to end the game! A half-hearted appeal for caught-behind. Not given and they review. Dayal wants a fourth. Ball nowhere near the edge of the bat. Kuldeep looked to pull but then ducked. Nonetheless it's a 37-run win for Titans to go atop the points table.

Yash Dayal to Chahal, OUT, Slower delivery from Dayal, Chahal is early into the shot. It was bowled back of the hand. All he manages is to get it in the air towards point, where Vijay runs in and pouches it.
