So that about wraps it up for me down here. Peruse through the match report, in case you've missed anything and do join us again tomorrow at 4.00pm local time as the Champions League rolls on. This is Alagappan Muthu saying sayonara.

11.45 'A very professional performance in all departments, especially with the ball', says Rahul Dravid, 'There was a calmness to the batting as well and its really good to start off the tournament like this. We switched the bowlers around, and they did really well in the first ten. We may have given them a little too much in the last ten, but that happens when Rohit and Pollard are there in the middle. The batting was really good, with Rahane and Sanju playing two composed innings. And then Stuart, the ball he bowled to Sachin was a beauty, he's exactly the kind of player you want at No. 6 or 7 in T20'

Vikramjeet Malik is the Man of the Match and he says he was just looking to find a good length to bowl, hit the deck around off stump and look to move the ball. He says Royals know the conditions very well here and they always back themselves to get over the line

Rohit Sharma believed Mumbai had scored a below-par total, but he was happy with the way the bowlers started early on. He also commended Pollar's performance and was pleased with his own form although he had wanted to stay on till the end of the innings.He believed Mumbai were just suffering from first-game rust and will be looking to put up a better performance in Ahmedabad.

11.30pm And the Royals keep their home record perfect. Johnson began well, but Rahane and Samson's controlled partnership proved the difference. Once that foundation was set-up, Watson and Binny made merry as the Royals cantered to an easy win. Do stick around for the presentation.

fawad: "Johnson is still a great bowler, we cant judge him on just one scorecard and especially on these pitches"

Tony: "Stuart Binny has once again proved that he is a useful club-level player, but when he got opportunities with India-A team, he was a complete failure, especially with the bat."

Uwaisul Karnain: "Mitchell Johnson now has to hope that Australian selectors won't see the score card of this match"

Coulter-Nile to bowl the final over

KC: "You wonder why Stuart Binny's name never comes up for reckoning for the India side. No flashiness in him but he is substance unlike some of the flakes who have already been in the side."
