Punjab Kings coach Anil Kumble wasn't impressed with his batting unit, and after the match he said, "It was pretty clear he was going to bowl wide outside off, and somehow our batters didn't take the right options. We need to discuss this and sort it out. We have five more games to go, we don't want to get bogged down by this defeat but it's certainly a bitter pill to swallow."

 With the win against Punjab, Rajasthan Royals have moved to fifth place in the points table with 8 points from 8 games.
