Guj Lions vs SRH, 15th match at Rajkot, Apr 21 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

That's all we have from commentary. Thank you for your company and your comments. Keep a wary eye on the site for the match report and on-site analysis from Arun Venugopal. But otherwise, get outta here.

Man of the Match is Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his 4 for 29. "It was a big boost. He was the one who scored runs for them, won all three matches for them. Wanted to get him early on. Heavily dependent on top three, they are. If we could get them out, the team wouldn't score too many. Just looked to swing the ball, that's my strength. If I can get two wickets in the first six overs... Sran swings the ball too and Mustafiz, bowling with him is great. I am trying to learn that slower ball of his, but no one can bowl it the way he does. We were under pressure, but its good to be under pressure, it brings out the best in us"

"I have to give credit to the bowlers. Gives us a great opportunity to play the way we want to play with the bowlers restricting the opposition," David Warner says, "Felt it would keep low, we knew the ball wouldn't spin, be a bit two paced. Our bowlers were fantastic. Bhuvi and Fizzy, his change of pace is very different. I faced him in Bangalore and he tried to knock my block off. Its a great art to change the pace as he does. It's 2 pound 12 ounces. I think the master Sachin Tendulkar used a bat that weighed that much. Helps to be in form, have to ride the roller coaster. Proud of the way the bowlers are bowling and if we keep chasing totals like this, we'll go a long way in the tournament"

"Not really, we thought wicket might slow later on. We didn't score enough. Sunrisers started really well. We lost too many wickets in the middle, I thought 160 would have been good," Suresh Raina says, "We were playing second game here, didn't do much initially. Didn't play well this game. "New batter coming, he has to be clear. If he has to go for a long shot or his areas. It's better to have wickets in hand so we can execute later on. Hitting the ball really well. Today's knock was crucial for team. Losing side was not good. Credit to Sunrisers. Have to stick to our basics, strength. Might need to work hard with the new ball, definitely going to speak to the players [about that]"

10.50 pm There's another chase spearheaded by an opener. David Warner has become the highest run-scorer this IPL, and looked in very little trouble tonight. Got off to a rapid start, clearing his front leg and smearing fours away through the off side. With him running away with the game - and with small total to chase - Shikhar Dhawan was able to play himself into form. Tidy half-century to him too. First loss to Gujarat Lions this season, mostly because they could only put up 135. Sunrisers' seamers kept flinging slower ball after slower ball and the batsman just couldn't get their timing working, and on such a large ground, those big hits weren't coming. Raina did well for his 75, but at no point did he really accelerate.

"Did they break any records? Highest chase without a six? Biggest partnership without a six? XYZ without a six?" ---- It's second-highest. KKR have the record, chasing against Kings XI in this very season.

Baig: "Such a low score but I wish Raina had bowled Steyn out in one go. He looked the more hungrier of all the bowlers. Might have taken out the key man Warner."

amit: "I think all those who've played under Dhoni and are captains now are adopting his tactics of holding back their best bowlers. Doesn't always work" ---- Ooof, is everything his fault?

Lanka: "I think Raina failed a little as a captain when bowling .... he brought Jadeja when SRH needed just 40 .. not yet bowled Kulkarni at all..... learning experience " ---- Well, here he is

Shravan : "This is like Father and Son playing together. While Father is chasing the score, he is also making sure son gets back to form. Son is making sure his Father takes care of the game while he stays not out." ----- That's umm... well... what can I say..
