Aditya Powell: With this defeat, Bengaluru returned home badly without winning the trophy for the 17th year. On the other hand, the victorious Rajasthan team qualified to face Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 in Chennai. Powell took 4 important catches and played an important role in Rajasthan's victory by scoring 16 runs in the last over.

In this matter, Powell said that the RCB team did not face any problem in finishing at the last moment. He also expressed relief that if he had not taken the catch given by Bengaluru captain Du Blais among the four catches he took, the victory could have changed. Here's what he said about it:

“It's not a tough situation. It was just a case of putting a cap on the ball somehow. Good job, I took the pressure off. I told Headmyer to be ready to take singles. Unfortunately he got out. We have good batsmen but I would like to bat a little earlier.

So we are ready to accept the job that is offered. I am ready to contribute to the job. Just one of my 4 favourite catches (for Blaze) sometimes you have to fall like that.

Maybe if I had let it down, today would have been a difficult day. Good players like Du Blais-Virat should not miss half a chance. You have to keep the body on the line. We have played good cricket all year. We are looking forward to playing the next match in Chennai.
