Two wins in two, then, for defending champs Titans! That's all we have for you. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. On behalf of Thilak, Ashish, this is Sudarshanan signing off. Good night, take care!

11:38pm Time for the presentation.

Hardik Pandya, Titans captain: "It was little funny at the start. We didn't know what was happening but something was happening. We gave away 15-20 runs more in the powerplay. [On his captaincy] It is my instinct. I like to back myself. I'd rather back me and fall down than taking others' decision. I'd rather land the first punch than take the first punch. We tell the boys to enjoy. It will help to take us right decisions and someone takes us through periods when needed. Whatever happens it is okay but be out happy out there and take care of each other. [Sudharsan] He has been batting beautifully. You can see the fruit of his hard work. In two years he will do something big in franchise cricket and hopefully for India."

B Sai Sudharsan, Player of the Match: "Thanks for backing me, a little nervous. First time here. I was thinking about what has to be done right, was not under pressure. It was a little bit low and skidding low. My turn was to take the game deep. It was about weathering the storm early on, because it was seaming early on."

Sampath Bandarupalli has looked at David Miller's numbers for Gujarat Titans in run-chases: 351 runs at a strike rate of 155!

David Miller, Titans batter: "Didn't have time to get jeglagged. We were within range. It was a matter of three sixes or four fours. But a lot can happen if we leave it for too late. We started well last year, got good momentum. We got mature cricketers in the middle order. Good start gives us a good platform. Very relaxed environment on and off the field."

David Warner, Capitals captain: "It swung more than I anticipated. Losing wickets in the powerplay can be struggle. They showed how to adapt to the situation and it is a learning for us. We have got six more games here and anticipate the swing upfront. They bowled extremely well. We were in the game but Sai batted extremely well and David Miller took it away. [On not using Axar Patel's bowling] Just purely because of the wicket and the match-ups. We thought Kuldeep would be effective and had Mitch Marsh."

Deep: "Very impressed with Sai's batting. I sometimes feel India can play with 2 teams and still be competitive in world cricket. Guys like Rutu, Sai. Future looks very bright"

Samrat Ahuja: "Tenth win chasing in the IPL out of 11 games! : one match they lost, was to Mumbai..chasing only 8 runs in last over and managed to lose!! Should have been a perfect record!"

Rutvik: "The MoM should be Alzarri Joseph imo. DC never recovered from the shock of losing Warner and Roussouw on consecutive bowls. They couldn't capitalize even though they still had 4 more batters and a lot more overs." Fair shout

Gyan : "IPL has started to look more exciting but boring as well same time. Impact player is interesting but 4 hours every match is boring. "

Mustafa Moudi : "Fun Fact: RR and now GT are the only sides to win matches on away venue this season. The Finalists from the last season are continuing exactly from where they left !!"

11:22pm Titans register their tenth win chasing in the IPL out of 11 games! And this has been a canter. The handshakes and hugs in the dugout are as relaxed as they could be. And it is a win that was designed mainly by their bowlers. Rashid and Shami picked up three wickets apiece with Joseph making his presence felt with a couple. Capitals could only puff to 162 and that was hardly going to challenge this Titans line-up. Despite losing three wickets inside the powerplay, Titans never stopped attacking and put up 54. The young and impressive Sai Sudharsan ensured that Titans get home without major hiccups.
