Player of the Match
Jos Buttler | Rajasthan Royals
I came into the season with very low expectations, but with a lot of energy and excitement and to be stood here now and have the season I had with such a great team and get us into the finals is incredibly exciting.
I had a tournament of two halves. I had some really honest conversations with some close people around me, Kumar Sangakkara and Trevor Penney. I was feeling a bit of pressure, getting distracted and I was trying to suppress it and it was only until a week ago or so I opened up inside and talking about that made me feel a lot better going into Kolkata and that innings gave me the confidence that helped today.
I am always trying to play the game, what is the game asking me to do any particular time and what skill set do I have to try and use on that particular day. Some days I have been slow to start with, I wish I was never like that, I wish I could play fast all the time.
Certain times I found it tough and maybe a younger version of myself would have gone for the big shot and got out and something Sanga has been saying to me is that the longer you stay there, at some point, it will come.
I came today so excited and the thought of playing in front of 100 thousand people, with incredible support, a fantastic stadium, and a brilliant game of cricket. I just enjoyed today so much.
To be able to get the opportunity to go and play in the final of the biggest T20 tournament in the world is incredibly exciting.
Shane Warne is such an influential figure for the Rajasthan Royals and having led the team to success in the first season, we will miss him dearly, but we know he is looking down on us with a lot of pride today.
