That's all we've got for you today. Do join us tomorrow for the game between Deccan Chargers and Delhi Daredevils.
Shane Watson is the Man of the Match. He also won the DLF Maximum Sixes award.
Warne says a lot of planning and hard work went into this victory. He though they set the tone really well first up with Munaf bowling a good spell. He's very happy about the way they played tonight and believes they'll be able to cause a lot more upsets once the likes of Smith and Younis Khan join them
Yuvraj says they had a good start but lost too many wickets first up. He thought Watson batted outstandingly and is positive about doing well in the next games.
A deserved victory for the Royals. Their fielding wasn't upto the mark but everyone contributed to the win. Warne and Trivedi picked up the wickets, Watson smashed 76 and was helped by a superb cameo from Jadeja as they forged a 69 run partnership to seal a 6-wicket win.
