Quotes
Ajinkya Rahane - "It's nice to get some runs and glad to see us performing as a unit. The pitch was a bit slower than what we thought initially. I just wanted to keep it simple because I knew if we batted through we could get it done. We will take it one game at a time and looking forward to our next encounter."
Man of the Match - Ajinkya Rahane
Steve Smith - "Boys are playing some good cricket. Obviously it got too tight at the end but we got the points which is what mattered. We have a good young side with a lot of exciting talents. The pitch didn't change too much and was a bit poppy throughout. It would have been good to get the runs a bit quicker though, Overall happy with the result."
David Warner - "Great game but we just didn't have enough runs on the board. We got a below par target as we thought 150-160 was a good score on this pitch. Credit to Rajasthan as they bowled well and chased it with calm. The crowd has been fantastic and hope that they back us in the upcoming games too."
