Well, that was a good game, wasn't it? We felt the Rizvi effect as opposed to the Bumrah effect. We may not feel the Gill effect in Ahmedabad but there's a lot to look out for. So, do follow GT vs RR that's under way. Thanks for joining us here. Bye.

Sameer Rizvi, POTM I've worked a lot on myself. I've worked on my weaknesses, I wasn't as good against fast bowlers, so I worked on that in the last year. I try to play according to the situation. I took time, got set and then played my shots. I tried to watch the ball as long as possible. Did the same in the last game. If you score runs here, you get a lot of confidence and opportunities for us youngsters.

Axar Patel, DC captain In T20s you need flexibility. If you have players who can bat in any position, and if the wicket is different and you can use that player, you have to keep an open mind. It doesn't mean that things will click just because you pushed someone up the order. It's a tactical move, it's great if it comes off. Ashutosh is playing well, but you pick a player depending on the day's requirements. If I have to choose, it's a good problem, shows how good our bench strengths. We have to take it one game at a time and keep the momentum, especially after breaks between games.

Suryakumar Yadav, MI captain Decent wicket, we expected it to be slow. We were 15-20 short, don't want to take credit away from their bowlers and Rizvi. Lot of credit to him, he never let us get back into the game. Pitch didn't change too much, they understood the conditions and batted beautifully. When batting first, there's nothing like a par score. We felt 180-185 was a good score. Naman and I got out at the wrong time. There'll be days like this with the ball, have to go back to the drawing board and come back better.

7:02pm Another Rizvi show. Today's didn't start like it, he took just over 20 balls to get set. A lot of the time his strike rate was under 100 and it was Nissanka putting on a show. But Nissanka fell to Santner and Rizvi unleashed himself. His use of the crease, his stance - getting up and down - was stunning. The bat swung quickly and fiercely. He mullered the weaker links in MI, the Sharduls and Bosches, but he then took on Bumrah too

Bosch to Sameer Rizvi, OUT, Rizvi show ends and he falls looking for a six. Gets a handshake from Miller and a couple of MI players too. Was a 133ks slot ball canting into middle and leg. Rizvi bent his back leg just a bit too much and drove hard. Got it a too low, he knew he'd mistimed it right away. Long-off takes it. Been a hell of a knock though
