who said what?
Shubman Gill, GT (losing captain)
We gave an additional 15-20 additional. It would have been better if we had stopped them at 210-220, it was a huge difference. (Was the first bowling to test things before the playoff?) No, honestly. We bowled well in the powerplay, yes, we did not get wickets. But he scored 180 runs in the next 14 overs, which was a lot. We were right in the game till the 17th over. Shahrukh and Rutherford batted well. Getting the speed back will be important in the next game.
Rishabh Pant, LSG (winning captain)
Happy. We talk about playing good cricket, we have shown on the occasion that we can do this. There were times in the tournament where we had our opportunity (but not made it), but it is part of the game and parcel. It was always a question of attaining the top three, but the way Shah Rukh played the show, he has a good line-up. Coming to the tournament, there were concerns of injury. We made sure that this is something that we will not talk about. The entire batting unit has played, we had a shortage of fielding. We can't make excuses, just want to learn and move forward.
Michelle Marsh, match players
I really played for Deccan Chargers for the first time, it has been a long journey. Happy to contribute tonight. The opportunity to open, the partnership with Markram has helped me. We did not have the best weather, but the last two games are still important. I felt that they bowl well quickly. T20S these days, if you have scored 12 runs and it is not a good time, then these are panic stations. But today it is shown that you can sew a big partnership. This is disappointing, all teams come to win it. IPL is an animal of a competition, you reached every game. Any team can defeat any team and make it the best tournament in the world.
