Riyan Parag - I have put in a lot of practice, I've practised against those kind of (bowling of Nortje). I had my options ready for both sides of the wicket - I was backing mys strengths, I know I had the power, it's good when it comes off. Sanju bhai told me to take it deep, I was confident that I could get a lot of runs. It wasn't easy for a new batter to come and score, you needed someone to stay until the end. It's been tough, I haven't been emotional, I have worked hard and seeing the fruits of it no

21:24 Local Time, 15:54 GMT, 21:24 IST: This is an excellent recovery from Rajasthan Royals. First 10 overs - 57/3. Next 10 overs - 128/2. Jaiswal, Buttler and Samson all struggled against the new ball and fell cheaply. Ashwin was promoted to number 5 and he did a fine job. He steadied the innings and struck a few sixes to provide the impetus, also took pressure off Parag.
