Gilchrist: "We were pumped today! We were quiet soft today and allowed them to dominate and to their credit they dominated. They played really really well. We have to move on. The batting didn't set up enough runs for the bowlers today. We have been going on well till tonight. "
Shane Warne "It's about executing the plans. It was an emphatic win tonight. We are here to stay. We have appointed Yusuf Pathan and Munaf Patel as the senior men in the team. And it has to come from within. I am very proud of the guys. The run-outs an fielding of Jhunjhunwala and others were brilliant. We have lost only game in two IPLs at home and we want the opposition to feel uncomfortable when they come here. It's our fortress."
Man of the match is Yusuf Pathan: "I batted well. My mummy papa (mom-father) have been coming for the last two games and I am happy that i scored some runs for them today. The ball was coming nicely on to the bat. It feels good and inspires you when the people sledge. When I went in today, Symonds sledged me and it feels good that i scored well today. "
That's it from us. Thanks for logging on

R Sharma to Pathan, SIX, Good night and good luck Deccan! Yusuf reaches forward to smash it over the straight boundary. Rajasthan Royals complete a thumping win. It was immense fun watching Yusuf bat tonight. Of course no fast bowler with the capability to bowl short deliveries and Yusuf ran amok in a thrillingly entertaining fashion
