RCB vs PBKS, IPL 2024 Match 6: Who Said What

Virat Kohli: "It's been going on for years (love story with fans at Chinnaswamy). People talk about a lot of other things when you play sport - achievement, stats, numbers. But when you look back it's the memories you create. The love, appreciation and backing I've received has been amazing.

"I try to give the team a blazing start, but if wickets fall you have to assess. Wasn't the usual flat pitch. Disappointed I couldn't finish the game. Was in the slot but sliced it to deep point."

Faf du Plessis, RCB captain: "On the outside, not as much on the inside (was he calm?). Early in the competition you want to make sure you get over the line. Felt we were in the position to do that sooner.

"With the new rule, we knew we had Mahipal coming in - has lot of power. Now with the extra batter you feel like even 14-15 rpo is gettable. Really pleased for him (DK). I said it the other night - really important for him to get his IPL going with confidence.

"There's obviously a plan - from the auction - to find some sort of DNA. It is a unique ground. Even tonight the pitch was a bit different. Virat was important on that pitch. He's still enjoying himself, very passionate about playing cricket. Fresh and motivated to do well."

Dinesh Karthik: "Little bit (dusting off the rustiness). I wasn't completely in control but getting there. We needed that (knock from Lomror), Anuj batted well last time but when Mahipal walked out.. he took the pressure off me.

"He (Harshal) is a wily customer, he has the dipping slower one and if you missed that you are a goner, I had to wait to play the scoop. I didn't say anything, he (Lomror) was calm and when he hit that six, I just told him to keep a still head. If I start bowling then you can know what the situation would be for RCB."

Shikhar Dhawan: "It was a good game, we brought the game back and again we lost it. We scored 10-15 runs less, in the first six overs I played slow. Those 10-15 runs cost us and the dropped catch as well. (Turning point) Virat scored 70-odd runs and we dropped a catch of the class player, we paid the price.

"If we had taken that catch .... we lost the momentum and then we paid the price for that. It looked good but it wasn't a very true wicket, it was stopping, bit of double bounce and turned as well. 60% coming good, 30% it was doing a bit.

"I am happy with my runs but I thought I could have played a bit more fast in the first six overs, that's the only thing I felt. We lost wickets as well, we lost two wickets continuously and that put pressure on us. At the end, that's the total we thought on this wicket.

"The match went till the last over, at the end also we could have bowled well. He's bowling really well, especially bowling against left-handers, tremendous the way he soaked in the pressure and got us the breakthroughs."
