who said what?
MS Dhoni, CSK (losing captain):
It was a good clan, Brevis's innings was really good, used to take risks, this is the stage that we want to improve … the run rate was up, but we initially lost one or Twio more wickets. Kamboj is good, he gets a lot of movement, his balls hit you more difficult than what you can expect … he has done well, it is difficult to bowl three overs in Powerplay. ,
Sanju Samson, RR (winning captain):
It feels good, we were thinking about setting a goal to be honest, but I felt that there is no hidden in this game, let's go out and chase it and prove a point. We have a young bowling attack, Jofra, Sandeep Sharma … a lot of promises for the future. Madhwal did not play a lot of games, he is working closely with Shane Bond, is bowling a lot of spots, and he has now got the results. Very happy for him … The margin of error is so low that it is difficult to see why we had so much bad weather, we will sit and sit to review after a few weeks, what went wrong and got back strong … I do not have words for him (Suryavanshi) … Today, when the middle overs were going on, it was smart to choose his options, it was surprising combination, it is a surprising combination, with that ability and sports awareness.
Yashasvi Jaiswal 36 (19):
It was very good, we were trying our best and I really enjoyed it. There have been some injuries with the team, Sanju Bhai came back after some games and it was a good game for us, we will take the confidence that is moving forward. (On Suryavanshi) He really played well, he played surprisingly today, we have seen how he is playing throughout the tournament. (On bowlers) He has bowled very well, we have a clear plan where we have to bowl. I was telling them that whatever plan you have, to go with a clear head and do it.
