Kumar Sangakkara the director of Rajashthan, says it was a good toss to win. Adds that Bangalore put a bit pressure early on but Nandre and the other bowlers did well to pull things back. Tells that Buttler has been one of the best white-ball batters in recent times and form is about the state of mind.

Ends by saying that all these players have skills and it is about bringing the sense of belongingness in the field.
Faf du Plessis, the captain of Bengaluru says that the pitch was a bit difficult to bat on, but they could have maximised towards the end. Praises Virat Kohli for his incredible hundred but admits that the others couldn't support him much. Credits their spinners for bowling as the balls were keeping a bit low. Tells that they were good in the first four overs but couldn't capitalize on that. Mentions that if there were left-handers, Maxi would have bowled but they were sloppy in the field, and that cost them in the end.
In the end, it was Jos Buttler's unwavering resolve and brilliant batting display that guided Rajasthan to a memorable win, maintaining their unbeaten streak in the tournament. The match witnessed two contrasting centuries, with Virat Kohli shining for Bangalore before Buttler's heroic performance stole the show. As Rajasthan celebrates another triumph, they continue to showcase their dominance in the Indian T20 League, while Bangalore will be left to ponder over their missed opportunities in yet another closely contested encounter.
Despite a valiant effort from Bangalore, led by Virat Kohli's magnificent century, Rajasthan managed to chase down the formidable target of 183 with five balls to spare. Kohli's masterful innings, supported by a crucial partnership with Faf du Plessis, laid a strong foundation for Bangalore's innings. However, Rajasthan's bowlers, including Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin, displayed exceptional skill and precision to contain the runs and keep the pressure on the opposition. In response to Bangalore's total, Rajasthan got off to a shaky start, losing Yashasvi Jaiswal early to Reece Topley. However, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson turned the tide in Rajasthan's favor with a formidable partnership, decimating the Bangalore bowling attack with their aggressive strokeplay. Despite facing some resistance from the Bangalore bowlers, including Mayank Dagar and Himanshu Sharma, Buttler and Samson exhibited resilience and determination, propelling Rajasthan towards victory. Samson's milestone of crossing 4000 runs in his Indian T20 League career further highlighted his significance in Rajasthan's batting lineup.
Rajasthan have done it! 4 wins in 4 games! Rajasthan emerged victorious in a thrilling encounter against Bangalore, securing their fourth consecutive win of the season. Jos Buttler's scintillating century, achieved in his 100th game, sealed the deal for Rajasthan in style. Buttler's explosive batting, culminating in a remarkable hundred off just 58 balls, showcased his sheer dominance on the field. His determination to reach the milestone with a six epitomized his aggressive yet calculated approach to the game, clearing the ropes in spectacular fashion. With this century, Buttler not only propelled Rajasthan to victory but also etched his name in the annals of cricketing history.
