11:32pm That will be all from us for tonight. We will be back tomorrow with a double-header and would love your company for those games too. Until then, from all of us here at ESPNcricinfo, it is goodbye!

Rashid Khan, Player of the Match: Quite happy. It was something unusual for me (last two seasons). This season, more about enjoying myself and hitting the right areas consistently. Happy with that (so far). When I had that surgery, I took only two months to get back. That time, I made a huge mistake (of coming back soon). Last year, when IPL was over, I had 2-3 months off and tried to work on my fitness. The rhythm I bowl through the crease - it was something I was missing. Had a good Hundred competition and then kept on. The moment I bowled the first ball, I knew there was something for me. Pace was something I was trying to mix up. If I leave the stumps, it gets easy for the batters to take a single or hit a boundary. Wanted to hit a length but also the line. I made that move in my mind - that if I pitch it in the right area, there will be help. The moment it left my hand, I knew. (On working with the Indian spinners) It is so good. We have been together for a long time. Important to have those players around you. When I come here, I have those good conversations (on how to bowl at different venues in India), and I share my international experiences. Modern cricket demands more variations. Sai Kishore is working hard on his variations and working hard on a wrong'un - looking forward to seeing it (in matches).

Shubman Gill, GT captain: Boys were having that conversation that we had not had the perfect game. We got 10-15 extra, it was not easy to hit sixes or boundaries (against the spinners). Always knew if we got a couple of wickets in the powerplay, we would have a good game. (On Siraj and Rabada bowling three each in the powerplay) We believe it is important to hold fort up front. If we take wickets, it gives the bowlers more chance to attack through the middle. You have to keep taking wickets - there is no other way. (On how he is feeling with his team's current form) Very happy. Next game is at home and hopefully we will have another good match. (On his injury) I twisted my ankle a bit but after half an hour, it settled down.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, RR captain: We were just thinking to bowl good areas, they batted well. We were just thinking of how to cut down boundaries, so it was pretty good from them. (On Archer's performance tonight) It is cricket. There are some days when you cannot bowl how you want. He has been doing well for us, and I think he will be coming back strongly. We are going to look at what we can do better and learn from this game.

Kagiso Rabada, Purple Cap holder: Everyone is just determined, I am determined myself. Everyone is just given a role - try to perform to the best of your ability. (Duel with Sooryavanshi and what is his plan) What has worked for 11 years will continue to work. About hedging your bets and hoping it works. Lot of hard work done behind the scenes. Lot of nuances but apart from that, it is same-old, same-old. Body feels good. This is where the fatigue starts to set in, so just trying to stay on top of it and be as fresh as possible. Hopefully I can just continue what I have been doing. (On his slower balls and if he is putting in some extra work) Not really. I have not bowled too many this season, but when they are needed, I will bowl them.

11:05pm Another commanding win for GT, and they now look like a team in perfect sync. Their batters srt up this game and their pacers, after the onslaught by Sooryavanshi, recovered to dent the Royals. There were a couple of cameos from the home side but nothing lasted long enough to really threaten the Titans or the mountain of runs they put up.

Lots to ponder for RR. Their early season success now seems a distant memory and with their next game not until May 17, they might find themselves well out of the top four by the next time they play, and with serious must-win complications.

Holder to Deshpande, OUT, another terrible shank, and Holder finishes off the demolition job! GT go level with SRH at the top of the table, and RR have been consigned to another mid-season defeat! Half-way down outside off and this climbs steeply too. Deshpande cannot control his swat and only clinks it towards backward point. A tame end to what was largely a tame RR performance, and GT have been full value for the two points tonight!

Holder to Brijesh Sharma, 1 run, slanted in full on the stumps. Brijesh does not move his feet and prods it to point. Gets called through for a single, and he would have been a mile short had there been a direct hit

Brijesh is the last batter in

Holder to Shanaka, OUT, skied, and Holder has another! Short ball outside off and Holder generates steep bounce with this. Shanaka looks to flat-bat it but gets it all wrong. Skews it up and Gill, stationed at mid off, completes the most regulation of catches. GT almost there now!

MD Shanaka c Shubman Gill b Holder 16 (27m 11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 145.45

Holder to Archer, OUT, well, Holder has a wicket now! And it is a short ball that does the trick. Archer swings like a rusty gate again and is too late on the stroke. The ball kisses the top edge and Buttler completes the most regulation of catches. RR eight down now!

Holder to Archer, no run, chaos in Jaipur! Banged in short on off. Archer swipes and misses, and the ball rolls off his body into the on side. Shanaka hares down for the run, only to be sent back. Holder tries to hit the stumps and misses. Rashid, trying to get to the stumps, cannot do much with the throw either

Mohammed chikhl: "Dasun shanaka will score 70 odd and RR will lose by 10 runs" -- Might have to put that under the optimistic category for now

Holder to Archer, no run, into the blockhole, slanting into the toes. Archer swings for the fences and misses. Lucky to see his leg stump still intact

Final time-out of the game. Archer the the new batter. Rashid eyeing a five-wicket-haul. Two slips in place

Rashid Khan to Jadeja, OUT, Rashid off on a celebrappeal, and the finger goes up! Jadeja, though, wants to review! Another fizzing delivery, pitching full on leg and then straightening a touch. Jadeja plays outside the line and gets beaten on the inside. Impact is on the front pad, and this could be a review more in hope. No bat involved. And Ball Tracking has the crashing into middle and leg. Jadeja has to go, and he takes a review along with him too!
