RR vs KKR, 17th match at Kolkata, IPL, Apr 17 2011 - Match Result

That will be all from us fellas. Join us for tomorrow's game, Kochi v Chennai. Till then, this is Abhishek Purohit signing off. Cheers.

Balaji is the Man of the Match. Balaji: "I think it came out well today. We have been working hard. It is all about courage and discipline and a abit of basics. It was a good ball to Watson. What Malinga does is nip the length a bit around, that is the thing to do. I am trying to do the same in the middle overs."

Gambhir: "Getting the opposition out for 81 was a fantastic effort. You cannot take any game in this format lightly. We could not be over-confident, we had to do our job. Once you get the momentum, it is important to continue. Once we got Brett and Shakib in our team, and Balaji, it is a fantastic attack. I have always said this is a fantastic crowd, and this is the best place to play cricket."

Warne: "Pretty ordinary performance, one of our worst ones. It was a 130-140 wicket, but there was panic and inexperience. I thought we did well in the last game to get to 160. We were ordinary, pretty embarrassing. We worked hard, we trained well. We have got three away games now, we have to bounce back."

Hang around for the presentation.

Rohit: "RR's problem has always been batting. Their batting clicked in the first season which is why they won. Previous two seasons, their batting has failed them. A team which until last game had a 100% success rate in defending scores above 145 odd."

Vatsal: "Will still back Rajasthan Royals...they are a fighter bunch of guys with a leader more magical than Dhoni...I am sure they will reach the semis...they gave good fight in the initial overs of their bowling...They will bounce back."

yasas: "You get the feeling, RR have lost the tournament in the auction itself...They dont seem to possess the strength to consistently perform well. They ll need some magic to turn the tournament around now...."

Strong stuff from Kolkata. Emphatic win by eight wickets. Warne tried his best with some aggressive field settings, but he had no runs to work with. Missed Dravid and Botha sorely. Kolkata go top of the table with this win, their third on the trot, after the choke against Chennai

round the wicket goes Tait

aditi: "Bored silly. Was hoping this would turn out to be as great a match as the one this afternoon. Maybe a double hat trick?" Tait is back
