Rajat Patidar | RCB captain and Player of the Match: It was a super game for us and the way especially the batsmen have dominated in this game, the way everyone was striking with intent, I think that was good for us. It's not a clear plan (to go after the GT bowlers), but I think we are ready for it because you have to show some body language that we are coming for you. So I think that was there in every batsman. So we had a chat in the meeting. We have to give a good body language and the attacking mindset. It was a big stage, qualifier 1, and the way we played, the way we dominated in this game, I think that was superb. (On his batting) I think the way of my batting is similar. I think starting, I take some few balls, 8-10 balls to see how the wicket is behaving and what the ball is doing. And after that, I think I have a clear mind that how I have to go about it and I am not worried about the wicket. I always like to put the bowler under pressure. (On the bowling) To be honest, the wicket was not that easy to go under the ball and hit the long sixes because there was very good bounce and the way bowlers executed their plans, bowled more balls on the stumps, I think that helped. The way GT played till now, I think the three main batsmen was top three and we were clear that we have to get them out in the powerplay and hopefully it worked. (On bringing Romario as the Impact Player) No, I was just checking that if we go in the finals and for how Romario will bowl in the middle overs, so that was the plan behind it. Yeah, I think it will be a good recovery and let's go for the finals.
