Jos Buttler was awarded the Man of the Match title for his exceptional batting performance. Buttler played the entire second innings not out, hitting six sixes and ten fours. He made 106 runs in sixty balls. “I came into the season with very low expectations, but with a lot of energy and excitement, and to be stood here now and have the season I had with such a great team and get us into the finals is incredibly exciting” Buttler stated. He added, “I am always trying to play the game, what is the game asking me to do any particular time, and what skill set do I have to try and use on that particular day. Some days I have been slow to start with, I wish I was never like that, I wish I could play fast all the time. Certain times I found it tough and maybe a younger version of myself would have gone for big shot and got out and something Sanga (Sangakara )has been saying to me that the longer you stay there, at some point, it will come.”

Winning captain of Rajasthan Royals Sanju Samson, stated in the post-match interview, “It was tough (after a loss in the last game), but we are used to bouncing back in the tournament. In IPL it’s very normal that you go ups and downs throughout the tournament. We lost a few games, we knew how to come back, and we did really well. The wicket was a bit sticky and was helping the fast bowlers a bit, it had really good bounce and was easier playing the spinners. We closed the innings really well, having DK and Maxi at the end we knew what they could do but having belief and composure in our skills is what got us through.”
Samson said, “Winning the toss made it easier to win this game, toss plays a huge role, and I think the wicket played completely different in the first and second innings. This is his (Obed McCoy) first IPL, he is very calm and composed and backs his strengths, and we really trust him to do well. Very grateful to have someone like Jos, and the way he is batting, touchwood, we have one more game to go. I was very young, and it was the first IPL season, and I remember playing an under-16 game somewhere in Kerala, and I remember watching the last game with my friends and remember that last run where Shane Warne and Sohail Tanvir hit the run, and they were running, it was a very vague memory which I have.”
