Presentation Ceremony:

Dravid: "It was a good start. We start as underdogs which is good for us. Good to win at home and hopefully we can get some wins away as well. I honestly thought we were 15 runs short. We played on slow tracks last year but this was a good wicket. It was a dream to get 3 of their top batsmen out so early"

Gambhir: " It's difficult to chase when you are 3 down early into your. We try and get the right combination, we pick the team in a hope that whoever plays will win the game for us. we look to turn it around and get back to winning ways"

Brad Hodge is the Man of the Match

Hodge: "It was a good wicket. 7 runs per over was never going to be enough and we got a good partnership. Yusuf Pathan got me out last year so I wanted to get a few runs against him."

Royals have added another feather to their cap by registering their 14th win of the 19 games that they have played at Jaipur. They held the Knight Riders by the noose when they picked up 3 wickets in 3 balls right at the start of the second innings and they never looked back after that. Manoj Tiwary's knock was just a saving grace.
