who said what?
Hardik Pandya, MI captain
Winning is always special, especially wins in this way. He (Karun) was batting brilliantly, it seemed that it was going out of hand. (Karn Sharma) shows great character, to be brave and toss it when boundaries are just 60 meters long. We never gave up, we kept saying that we want to be in the competition. Everyone put their hands up and we were able to hold our opportunities. (On the batting order) wanted to bring the players into form to face the most balls. Dew later played a big factor, it became very dew. Just making sure that the game is not over, “keep fighting” was rubbish. We knew that some wickets would change the game. This has happened to me earlier also, in such a way that the speed changes and everything changes.
Exer Patel, DC Captain
We had a game in the bag. Some soft dismissal and bad shots in the middle order. You cannot leave it every time in lower order. There is no need to beat one of those days. Half was happy on the way. The ball was stopping in the beginning but it became better. And then dew helped us. Of our three spinners, two can also bowl in powerplays and deaths. Kuldeep is bowling incredibly well. This game needs to be forgotten from the batting point of view.
Karn Sharma, match players
It feels great that my hard work has paid. Whenever I get a chance, I want to do my best. This is a big tournament, only 12 can play. I just focus on my process, the rest is not in my hands. KL Rahul's wicket was my favorite. This catch was very important at that stage of the game. I pray a lot that when I get a chance, I do well and win the teams. There was no dew in the first innings, changing the ball meant that we got something else. It was good.
