Jaipur: Though Rajasthan Royals won their match against Kings XI Punjab by six wickets, it was stretched to the last over and the low scoring encounter ended up as a thriller. Rajasthan skipper Rahul Dravid said that even a low scoring match can be highly entertaining.

Dravid said he was nervous in the end there. “My heart beat went up. Rahane and the young kind Sanju Samson played really well and showed a lot of composure. We should have got there before the last over. It is a good cricket wicket and not all wickets should be 180-190. These ones make for good exciting cricket. So I am happy with the wicket,” said Dravid in all praise for James Faulkner.

“Faulkner has been exceptional for us. He brings in a lot of energy in the group. We are happy with the start we had, but we'll learn with the challenges," Dravid added.

Meanwhile a disappointed Adam Gilchrist said, "We let 7-8 deliveries slip in the innings. We have been bowled out twice now and it isn't acceptable. It starts at the top with me. Then in the first 3-4 overs, we gave Shane Watson enough to hit. But we can't blame the bowlers because we didn't give them a good total to defend. But they fought hard."

James Faulkner, who was Man of the Match, said: "I was very confident with the opportunity here with Royals. This wicket was very different from the one in Pune. There weren’t many slower balls here as there was some pace on the wicket."
