Speaking in the post-match interview, Phil Salt, Player Of the Match in which Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs, said, "Few highs and a lot of lows, and you cannot ride both, just stay as even as you can.

MI vs RCB HIGHLIGHTS: What did winning captain Rajat Patidar say?
Speaking in the post-match interview, Rajat Patidar, captain of the winning side Royal Challengers Bengaluru, said, "Feels amazing. Whenever we come here to Mumbai and this ground, the atmosphere and the fans, playing along with them in a fully-packed stadium - it is an amazing feeling. More clarity about every individual. The way Salt and Virat started…after that it was a collective effort. Everyone used to say I play spin well but I also love (playing) fast bowling. I feel he (Kohli) is okay."
MI vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES: What did losing captain Hardik Pandya say?
Speaking in the post-match interview, Hardik Pandya, captain of the losing side Mumbai Indians, said, "We conceded way too many as well. Last couple of games, as a bowling unit and as a batting unit, we have been catching up. Really need to reflect and what best we can do, and how we can get the momentum we require."
"A lot of things need a re-think. But we have to see other options we can have, with the bat and the ball. We need to still bat well and bowl well. If you do that, irrespective of the toss (we should be fine). We are speaking about and talking about how to get some momentum in the powerplay. We are trying to catch up (in batting and bowling). We will see what we can do in the next game.
(On Rutherford) When we got him, it was always exciting for us, we knew the potential and power he has. The way he batted, it gives us extra cushion and confidence (if we want to make any changes)," he added.
