Pitch Report

Highly skewed boundaries today, 63 metres on one side and 70 metres on the other. The last match on this surface saw 420 runs being scored. There are a few cracks, but there is grass binding it nicely. The ball should come nicely onto the bat. It's a bat-first track, says Varun Aaron and Graeme Swann.

Commentary

07:15 p.m. IST: So that is all that we have for you from New Chandigarh! Punjab Kings have played their last game at this venue. In terms of the points table, Royal Challengers Bengaluru overtake Punjab Kings by virtue of a better net run rate and go up to third. You can change over to the action in Mumbai as Mumbai Indians host Chennai Super Kings, by clicking here. This is the pair of Bala and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Virat Kohli (Player of the Match, 73* off 54 balls): "Very important win for us! Two points can make a big difference at this stage of the tournament. I wanted to accelerate, but as Salty (Phil Salt) did not get going today, I tried to stay in there for as long as possible to let the others know that they can go for their shots. There is always a temptation to keep going for it, but you also need to assess the conditions. So, I tried to use my experience and keep it going. It is also key to understand the strengths of the others around. We had a really good auction this time. We have Romario Shepherd and Tim David who can hit lots of sixes in no time. That is something we missed previously. Also, the overall composition is really good."

Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain): "All the credit goes to the bowlers! And then, Virat Kohli! The bowlers chipped in by executing the plans at different stages. The idea was pretty simple actually, we wanted to bowl tight lines and it worked. Fielding is an important aspect, we had a conversation about this, we did different drills and it worked out nicely! We will try to play a good brand of cricket back home, apart from winning the toss!"

The Green Dot Balls of the Match award winner is Krunal Pandya for bowling 10 dot deliveries!

Virat Kohli wins the On-the-go Fours award for hitting 7 fours!

Super Sixes of the Match award goes to Devdutt Padikkal for hitting 4 sixes!

The Fantasy King of the Match is Virat Kohli!

The Super Striker of the Match award goes to Prabhsimran Singh, striking it at 194.11!

07:07 p.m. IST: It is now time for the post-match presentation!

Devdutt Padikkal (Royal Challengers Bengaluru): "It was really important after Salt got out, build a solid partnership with Virat. There's been a lot of hard work, especially with DK and Andy with certain aspects of my game, and it's coming off. You get that confidence when you are batting with him, that he's going to see the team through. It makes your job very easy. Playing for my home state and city is very special. Special when you play for them, and at Chinnaswamy as well. There is a lot of confidence in the side. Everyone's getting runs. We have not batted well in our home conditions, but hopefully we can come up with a plan."
