Riyan Parag called Tyagi's spell the best. "This is number one in all the good spells I have seen in my cricket career," he said. Hopefully Kartik will continue to perform like this and win the match for us.''

Rajasthan remains in playoff race
Parag said he had asked fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman to drag the match to the 20th over. "We were in a good position after the first innings of the match but then our fielding was not good and the match slipped out of our hands," he said.
Parag said Mustafizur bowled very well for us and this is why it created a chance for Kartik Tyagi. Mustafizur spent just four runs in his last over and took the match to the last over.
Rajasthan Royals have retained themselves in the playoff race with this victory. Rajasthan Royals have managed to win four of the eight matches so far.
