Player of the match Mohammad Siraj said
I became a little emotional, I have played IPL here for 7 years. It was emotional for me to be blue from Jersey. I like Ronaldo very much, so I celebrate like him after taking wickets. When I got a break from Team India, I worked on my fitness and mistakes. After joining Gujarat, I spoke to Ashish Nehra. They asked me to enjoy. Ishant Bhai told me on which line to bowl. My mindset is to rely on myself.

5. Who said what?
Bangalore captain Rajat Patidar said
We wanted to score 190 runs. Initially losing wickets was heavy. The team’s introduction was correct. Losing 3 wickets in Powerplay was the turning point. In the second innings, the pitch became easy for batting, but our bowlers bowled well. The best bowling is required to pull the match by the 18th over on this ground. Jitesh, Liam and Tim did good batting in the batting. As a team, I am confident that we will perform well in further matches.
Jose Butler said
I enjoyed my batting, the bowlers did a great job. Fielding could have been done a bit better, I also missed a catch. We would have got a target of 30 runs less. We could have been heavy to miss the salt catch. I started celebrating very quickly, this missed the catch. Openers did good batting, initially the pitch was difficult. The bowlers made the match easy.
Gujarat captain Shubman Gill said
We have the experience of this ground. We did well by stopping RCB at 170. The bowlers were helping on the pitch. Here you can also make 250 and take wickets soon. The first 7-8 overs for the fast bowlers were help. We knew that in the beginning, taking wickets would make the work easier. According to the situation, we did good batting.
