who said what?
MS Dhoni, CSK (losing captain)
I think batting – yes, this was the first time we scored enough runs on the board. But was it an equal score? I feel a little younger. Yes, there is a little demand from the batsmen, but I think we can be a little more. I think we need to take our catch. The partnership between Brevis and Sam was excellent. We did not play the last four delivery, and the second final four batsmen were eliminated. In close sports, those 7 delivery means a lot. Well he is a fighter (curan). This is something that we all know. He wants to contribute whenever he turns. Unfortunately, till now, whenever we tried to give him a chance, the wicket was slow and he found it a bit difficult. But today's wicket was best at home in this tournament. This is why I felt that we needed another 15 runs. This is the speed in the middle order (Brevis Off). He is also a very good fielder, he has power and he can kill good balls for boundaries. And he brings good energy. Happy with the way he is playing. She can be a moving property.
Shreyas Iyer, PBKS (match captain and player win)
[On his form and knock] I love chasing in any field. I think whenever there is a large clan on the board, I thrive and you need to charge and speed for the rest of the batsmen. I don't want to curse it [his away form] And just stay current and react to the ball. It doesn't matter where I am playing. I just play with my perspective. Sometimes it never works. Recently, I have been loting the batin GA in the nets and facing quick bowlers, especially with the new ball and it has given me a lot of confidence. This is a part of which I really worked. And the attitude is something that I keep high on reaching the field. So I think all these small boxes have been tickled and it is to see. More than batting, fielding was difficult because I was running from long-on to long-on. We had to maintain more than the rate and I had to think over time. Humidity was more than any other area I have played. [On the chase] When Ricky came in, we made a chat in the middle and said that we do not have to leave the east and do not leave it till the end because they have great death bowlers. So this approach was just to take the bowlers, in which the power hitter was coming under the order and returning themselves. When I went in, I said that I need to play some balls to see how the wicket is playing. When I played ten balls, I started going. The way Prabhu and Priyanas are playing, they have been fantastic. They are smart, not only slogans.
