LSG vs RCB IPL 2023: Who Said What

Faf du Plessis (RCB Captain) (Player of the Match): "Opposite pitch. We played really well in first 6 overs like we play in Chinnaswamy. I think batting first was important. It looked like right through that spinners were difficult to score."

"I would have wanted 135, in my mind it was a really good score. Once again, it is tough to score. We felt it was a match-winning score. And with KL not in the batting order, we knew it will be hard work.

"I am super happy for Karn Sharma. He is one of those guys who works hard always, doesn't get enough recognition. I am very happy for Josh as well, he brings calmness."
