In reply, RCB could only manage 179/8 as KKR's strong spinning stranglehold was too much for them. Virat Kohli batted brilliantly for his 54 runs but the other stars faltered without too much damage. KKR's spinning duo of Suyash Sharma (2/30) and Varun Chakravarthy (3/27) were again the telling factor in the game.

With the 21-run win, KKR move up to 7th in the IPL table. The Knights have 6 points after eight games. RCB stay on 8 points after playing the same number of games as KKR.

RCB vs KKR IPL 2023: Who Said What

Virat Kohli (RCB Captain): "We handed them over the game. We were not professional in the field. This is not ideal as we were not up to standard."

"If you look at the game, we didn't capitalize on crunch moments. We dropped chances which cost us 25-30 runs. Then we gave away soft dismissals. If you give six or seven soft things away, you are going to end up losing."

"We try to work on our games. Even while chasing, we were one more partnership away from chasing the score down. We have to work on those and have to be absolutely switched on. If we tighten the screws, we know what we can achieve. Tougher on the road but we are looking forward to it. We want to be on the road and perform."

Nitish Rana (KKR Captain): "It was a perfect game. As a collective we played well as I was saying in the last three or four matches. The way Jason Roy is playing and credit to the full team for the belief and I am happy with the bounce back."

"We wanted to put a score and get our spinners in play. Credit to all the spinners for their effort as there were not much help in the pitch."

"He (Suyash) is always very positive. He always wants to take onus. We have given him the courage and so far he has been providing excellent results for us."

Varun Chakravarthy (Player of the Match): "The game of cricket is crazy like that. Last match I went for 49 runs, this time it worked."

"I have worked on my accuracy, and didn't do much on my variation. I have been working a lot and credit to AC Pratibhan and Abhishek Nayar."

"I would like to dedicate this to my newborn son. I haven't seen him yet but this award is to my son and my wife."
