Right then! Every team has now played one match and Rajasthan have become the first team this year to win the match batting first. They shoot up to the top given their healthy net run rate. The action continues in the Indian T20 League on Wednesday, the 30th of March as the two familiar foes, Bangalore and Kolkata square off against each other. That match begins at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but the build-up will begin much earlier as usual. Till then, goodbye and take care!

Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan captain is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fiery half-century earlier in the evening. He says that it was a very different wicket than they thought and if one bowled the Test match lengths, the pacers got a lot of purchase. Adds that they are not looking at long-term goals at the moment and just want to focus on the next match. Adds that in the preparation leading up to the tournament, he just looked to learn about more game awareness and got to know more about what to do in certain situations. Also adds that when there are minds like Sangakara in the camp, it helps a lot. He ends by saying that it's a tough tournament and the key is to stay with the core of players throughout and they will just like to keep things simple.

The Presentation ceremony...

Prasidh Krishna is down for a chat. He says he enjoyed the surface. Says he aimed to hit the hard length and is glad it worked out for him. Mentions, they had already planned about it and hence also had two slips in place. Says, they couldn't have asked for a better start. Adds, the pressure that Boult put from the other end really helped him to take the wickets.

Kane Williamson, the Hyderabad skipper is up for a quick chat. He thinks they started beautifully with the ball. Adds in the end things did not go their way. Mentions there are a few things they need to look into and would like to improve on their weak spots. Adds, to take a wicket off a no ball is never nice. Says there are a number of things they cannot control. Hopes Umran Malik just keeps moving up the ladder with each game. Says, they will sit together as a side, also as they have a little break before their next game. As a young side, they will focus on learning from each game. Ends by saying Rajasthan were truly the better side tonight.

When you have a score in excess of 200 in a T20 match, you're already halfway there. The only thing that can make it better is an early wicket, Rajasthan did get that, well they got 3 early wickets and the match was won then and there. Prasidh Krishna was simply outstanding at the start as he got two wickets and Trent Boult supported him really well. In the middle overs, Yuzvendra Chahal cleaned up 3 more of the recognized batters and Ravichandran Ashwin too was economical. The only bowler who had an off day was Nathan Coulter-Nile and he was really hammered to all parts of the ground and his night got worse when he had to limp off in the final over, hope he is back in no time. Rajasthan will be mightily pleased with that effort though.

Hyderabad have started from where they left off in the last season and generally, that is a good sign but when you've had a miserable campaign last time, it isn't the start you're looking for. Right from the first over, Kane Williamson looked under pressure and it was telling as he fell in the second over. Big hitters like Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran followed suit as both got out for a duck and Hyderabad found themselves pushed firmly up against a wall. Only Aiden Markram and Romario Shepherd put up a stand and Washington Sundar had one big over in which he took NCN to the cleaners. Markram did get to a deserving fifty and in the end, the wicket looked like it was a batting paradise. Apart from this, it was an abysmal batting display at the top from Hyderabad and they have a lot to ponder upon.

What an emphatic way to get the campaign underway from Rajasthan! They have demolished Hyderabad tonight and maybe have sent a message to all the other teams that they have the muscle with the bat as well as with the ball and they can defeat any team on a given day. Hyderabad on the other hand have gone down fighting, but the fight came a bit too late from their end.

Washington Sundar flicks it aerially towards deep square leg. Yuzvendra Chahal ends up being ahead of the ball and he tries to leap but the ball evades him. One bounce over the ropes. Earlier in the game, Nathan Coulter-Nile over ran a catch of Yuzvendra Chahal's bowling.

16.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Washington Sundar only dealing in boundaries. He is putting a dent in this Rajasthan bowling attack. Full length, angled down leg. Washington Sundar flicks it to fine leg for a boundary.

16.4 overs (2 Runs) Full length, on middle and leg. Washington Sundar drills it down the ground to long on. Shimron Hetmyer coves a lot of ground to his right and saves a certain boundary. The batters take two.

16.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Washington Sundar is on a roll. Length ball, outside off. Washington Sundar punches it down the ground. It beats the effort of the fielder at mid off and races away to the fence.

16.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Washington Sundar stands tall and delivers this time. Back of a length, outside off. Washington Sundar slaps it through mid off for a boundary.

16.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! All the way! Nathan Coulter-Nile errs in line this time. It is a length ball, sliding down the leg side. Washington Sundar stays back and flicks it over the fine leg fence for a maximum.

Nathan Coulter-Nile (2-0-23-0) is back on.

15.6 overs (1 Run) Fuller, on middle and leg. Washington Sundar works it to mid on for a single. Yuzvendra Chahal ends his spell with three wickets to his name. He couldn't have asked for a better start with a new side.

15.5 overs (2 Runs) Touch short, on off. Washington Sundar pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a brace. It could've been curtains for Aiden Markram, if Yuzvendra Chahal would've knocked the stumps off at the non-striker's end.

Strategic Time-Out! Rajasthan have the game in bag and it has been a completely dominant bowling performance from them. After the brilliant start by their pacers, Ravichandran Ashwin has held up one end well and this has allowed Yuzvendra Chahal to be attacking with the ball and he has picked up 3 wickets. The only decent partnership for Hyderabad, between Romario Shepherd and Aiden Markram has now been broken and it is now only a question of by how many runs they lose tonight. Markram though will be looking to get to his fifty. Washington Sundar comes in to bat next.

15.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! TIMBER! Yuzvendra Chahal, you beauty! He gets his 250th wicket in T20 career. This is full and on the leg stump. Romario Shepherd gets low and tries to sweep it away but misses. The ball goes through to shatter the stumps. Yuzvendra Chahal punches the air in delight. He picks up his third wicket of the game.

15.3 overs (0 Run) Floated, wide outside off. Romario Shepherd tries go downtown but only connects with thin air.

15.2 overs (1 Run) Fuller, on leg. Aiden Markram flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

15.1 overs (0 Run) Quicker through the air, on middle and leg. Aiden Markram flicks it into his pads. It dies on the leg side.
