With that we come to the end of an entertaining evening. RCB fans would be happy with the returns overall despite the middle over collapse. Mohammed Siraj coming back into form is perhaps the biggest positive they will take from this game. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have a lot of soul searching to do. They did not start off on the right note and were indeed playing catch up through the night. The collapse in the RCB innings would, in fact, make them think even more about what could have been had they got a few more runs. But we at Sportskeeda only think about how we can get the best to our readers. I hope you enjoyed our coverage of this match. This is Darpan Tikiya signing off on the behalf of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty. Join us back tomorrow for more IPL action.
Mohammed Siraj (Player of the Match): I was not well today and I thought that I might not be able to play today. But I pushed myself and I am very happy with my performance. To be honest, the hard work I have put in practise with the new ball has paid off today. I was not getting to bowl with the new ball in every game. I was thinking of taking rest today. But I didn't and the guy upstairs was on my side. I had imagined today that I would get Saha out caught behind after I woke up and it manifested the exact same way. I was playing Test matches for a long time. So, it was a little bit tough to adjust and I was not hitting my straps, but good to get my rhythm back.
Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): We have been really good for the last two matches. I think the wicket was a little bit different from the last two games. I think the bowlers were really good in executing the plans. Even with a dropped catch, I am really pleased with the intensity in the field. There have been some really high scores in this tournament. We were trying to bat with the same intent. It was nerve wrecking when I was up there and was hearing, "oh there goes another wicket.. and another wicket". So, some lessons to be learned there.
Faf du Plessis gets the award for hitting the most fours.
Virat Kohli gets the award for hitting the most sixes in the match.
Josh Little gets the award for scoring the most fantasy points.
Faf du Plessis gets the award for having the best strike rate.

With that win, RCB climb up to the 7th spot on the points table. Gujarat Titans slip to number 9. Mumbai Indians now are on the wooden spot.
Dinesh Karthik hands over the orange cap to Virat Kohli. Here is what DK has to say: Actually started with a cup of tea. Then I had capachini and then things started happening and I had to pad up. My goodness, you know all my secrets. Yes I did my bit. It's a different sort of pressure. It's different than chasing a big score. The basic cricketing skills comes through. Over a period of time it has been my strengths to find boundaries playing proper cricketing shots. I do think the pitch was good initially to bowl on. Yesterday it rained, there was bit of moisture. Was a good toss to win for us but no matter what the pitch it is, it is quite a task to keep them to a score we did. The way Faf and Virat batted I don't think we could have played those shots if we batted first but it's also there class. I told Swapnil to play for the ball. Then he asked me if sweep was the option and I said if you are trying to play it don't play half hearted and those two sweep shots turned out to be very important.
