11.38pm Rahul Dravid is pumped. Daredevils are too. Mishra undoes his batting effort against RCB by winning them one. What a game, what a finish. Shreyas Iyer will take away so much from this game, and I'm not talking just about his 96. That was a special knock in a tough chase. he hit the highest number of fours in an innings this season. Lions kept chipping away, but some of their bowling was tear-your-hair-out stuff. Their fielding was both exceptional and not-so-good too. It all adds up in a game of fine margins. That was a great game nonetheless.
Shreyas Iyer, the Man of the Match: "I'd have been more happy with finishing the game. I wasn't thinking much about my hundred, i decided at the start I would bat till the end. Hundred doesn't matter, winning the game does. I was just trying to time the ball, was getting the ball in my areas. two matches left, let's hope I get two more Man of the Matches."
Zaheer Khan: "Feels really good to fall on the right side of the result. It's understandable, felt the energy was low, out of the playoffs but we're a professional side. You have to take these things stride and keep working harder. We'd want to win both games, finish on a high. As a team, everything needs to come together."
Suresh Raina: We tried everything. Iyer batted really well. Every over they got 12-14 runs, that was our mistake. Losing a lot of close games. I enjoyed the game. Wicket played really well later on, gave them too many loose balls.
