Rahul Shukla is the Man of the Match

Rahul Dravid: It got nerve wrecking in the end. It was a fantastic innings from Hodge. There is a good environment in the team, they know their roles well. It is about giving the youngsters the confidence they need. When Hodge bats like that down the order we don't need to change batting order. The winning streak is not important but hopefully we can keep it going for one more game. We love to play here the crowd always supports us.

Brendon McCullum: Our top order did not do the job. We came back well with the bat and the ball later on. Hodge played a brilliant innings and he took the game away from us. Rahul Shukla surprised us all. He has good pace and he swung the ball. What happens tomorrow will happen and I am proud of the efforts put in by this team.
Rajasthan Royals won by 4 wickets.
