Bangalore skipper, Virat Kohli says that it is never easy to lose a game. Feels that they still have five games to go and they will look to put the pressure on the table and hope for something. Adds that his team lacked the intent which is required to play the game and that is something concerning. Mentions that pressure is taking a toll on them and they are dependent on some guys which should not be the case. Also says that the wicket does not change much during a night game. Applauds Aaron Finch for playing such a fluent knock and credits him for winning the game for Gujarat.

Gujarat skipper, Suresh Raina says that they did really well in all departments and it was a complete performance tonight. Applauds Faulkner, Tye and Jadeja for bowling really well. Credits the performance of Finch. Adds that he was looking to stay in the middle so that he could counter the spinners later in the innings. Reckons that both the young quick Indian pacers have been bowling really well for them. Says that the combination they were missing is back with Jadeja and it is benefiting them. Mentions that Finch told him to stay compact at one end as he was hammering the bowlers all over the place. Ends by saying that this win would give them great confidence.

Man of the Match, Andrew Tye says the execution of the hat-trick ball wasn't as good as the last time, but is glad he was able to do his part in the team's victory. When asked about Gayle's wicket, he says he just bowled on a length and is happy that the big Jamaican got out as he was looking to kick off towards the end of the Powerplay. Credits Nathu Singh and Basil Thampi for the way they bowled and mentions that they have excellent talent to go a long way. States the fans in India love cricket and that anybody who comes to play in this country really enjoys themselves.

That's it from here . Time to say good bye to RCB in IPL 17.
