Michael Lumb, MOM: "good to be back in Jaipur. Home for us. As Warnie says, it has been our fortress. We were looking at 55-types in the first six, but we kept getting more all through."

Shane Warne: "We have had a tough week, lots of travel, lots of matches, very nice to get home here. Last game where we pulled something out of the bag, we have the momentum with us now. And three games at him in 10 days. Dole showed a lot of character after that dropped catch and his first spell in getting Jayawardene and Yuvraj out in the same over. We have held our home record here, but two big games coming up, and we back ourselves against anyone here."

Kumar Sangakkara: "We got a great good start, 100 in 10 overs, and they bowled really smartly to hold us back. It was a good track, although slow, but they bowled really well. Trivedi especially. We didn't bowl or field well, we set the tone right in the first six overs."

Big win for Rajasthan in terms of net run-rate, with five overs to spare. They are still behind Chennai on net run-rate. And Chennai should be Rajasthan's nearest rivals for that final spot in the semis. As of now, the points table shows Rajasthan at No. 3, ahead of Bangalore, but the latter have two games in hand. And Punjab, they are all but out. There might be a mathematical miracle or two possible, though
