RR vs LSG Highlights: Sooryavanshi, Jurel shine as Rajasthan crush Lucknow to take lead in race for last playoff spot

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi wins the Player of the Match award for his 93 off 38 balls today.

"I was sitting while bowling and the wicket looked good, I didn't want to rush and take me time. I knew that was going to help the other batter too. I always knew I could hit anytime and didn't want to rush at all. I don't read papers and all, I just think this is the start and if I have a long career then a lot of things will be said. I just want to focus on my game. (on his fifty celebrations) Even I don't know what that was, even the last game's celebration didn't mean anything. I just keep trying new things (laughs). We just want to focus on the last game and enjoy it, and we want to win."

Joy and jubilation in Jaipur 🩷🥳

A statement chase from @rajasthanroyals sees them jump back into the 🔝4️⃣ 👏

"The way Archer bowled the last over was really good. Here we could have scored five or 10 more runs but we couldn't in the last over. You always want to back your bowlers but it's hard. On a wicket like this it's hard, and too many suggestions also doesn't work. Experience is something you'll always miss, it takes years to get that. It always keeps you out for sure in pressure situation. Definitely the left-handers (to not bowl Shahbaz earlier), so we bowled Rathi and we didn't want to expose Shahbaz. I'm proud of the team regardless. It doesn't take away the fact that we're a f***ing good team."
