Player of the Match
RCB's Glenn Maxwell wins the Player of the Match award for his fifty, 2 wickets, and one catch.
Glenn Maxwell:Perfect day. Virat and KS got us through the powerplay and set up a platform for us. I wanted to cash in hitting to the shorter side with the wind going as well. I have put in a lot of work with my state side Victoria and happy it worked. Hopefully, people stay safe, get vaccinated and we can travel around the world safe again.
Virat Kohli, RCB captain:Very happy and the way we won. It was a difficult start with the loss of Devdutt in the second over. I got off to a good start and KS took the pressure off me. 8 for 30 against such an unbelievable batting lineup is great. You have to get into the bowler's space every now and then, especially against world-class performers like Bumrah. Tonight no complaints. Maybe in batting I will give it 8, we should've got 20-25 more. I went with DC - he bowled an amazing over, completely shut the game down and Harshal did an amazing job from the other end.
Rohit Sharma,MI captain:Thought was a fantastic bowling effort from us. At one stage they looked like scoring 180-plus. Batters let us down. That's been something that's been happening consistently (losing their way with the bat). Have had a good chat with the batters. Those who are in need to carry on. They kept the pressure on us once a couple of wickets fell. Need to bounce back from whatever situation we're in. We've done that in the past. Just not happening this season. He's a talented player (Ishan Kishan). He's had a terrific IPL last year. We want to back his natural game which is why he came up the order above Surya. Don't want to put too much pressure on the guy. Relatively young, making his way in international cricket.

Rohit Sharma, MI captain at toss:We are gonna bowl first. We have tried everything in the two games we played and I though a score in front us to have a crack would be ideal. Important to focus on game in hand and keep ticking those small boxes. He (Hardik) is very passionate about the game and passionate about his comeback, from a team's perspective it's a great boost for us. just one change.Hardik is back and Saurabh Tiwary is out.
Virat Kohli, RCB captain at toss:Would have bowled first as well, don't think the track will change much. We had a team chat together and we haven't been outplayed and made some mistakes ourselves. When the crunch moment arrives, you have to back yourself and that's been the chat to play expressive cricket. It's about executing them with courage. They are one of the strongest sides in the IPL and are a very difficult side to play against and want to match the intensity and belief. We will have to be at the top of our game tonight .Saini, Hasaranga and Tim David are out. Shahbaz, Dan Christian and Jamieson are in.

Pitch Report
A superb outfield on offer! A fresh pitch is being used for this match. The pitch is hard and has good even coverage of grass over it. The ball will come on nicely and the spinners are gonna have to work really hard. The pacers will be the key on this pitch.
