Eoin Morgan: It's been a long time coming. Since Brendon McCullum has taken over last year, the way we have played in the last two games is the way our coach wants us to play. It suits our talent to play in such a way. To hold Mumbai to 155 runs and chase it easily gives us confidence. Fitting Venkatesh Iyer in the playing XI has been difficult with the talented guys we have. It's fantastic the way he has scored runs for us. In the practice matches too he has played this way. Sunil and Varun are our two formidable bowlers. Sunil has been an integral part to KKR winning when they did it. Varun is a fresh guy. The first two games in this phase are the templates for us on how to play. There's only one way for us to go in the points table and that is upwards.
Most Valuable Player of the Match: Rahul Tripathi
Lets Crack It SIxes: Quinton De Kock
Super Striker of the Match: Venkatesh Iyer
Rohit Sharma: Few things went wrong. We started really well but didn't get enough runs at the end. I thought it was a good pitch, we failed to capitalize on the start we got and didn't bowl well at the start. Things can happen and you have to move on. After a good start, we had to get small partnerships but we kept losing wickets at regular intervals, it is not easy for new batters to go in and start hitting the ball. It is something that happened in the last game as well and we will look into it. It is always there at the back of the mind on where you stand, we are still in the middle of the table, so we have to get back and fight and hopefully get some wins which we have done previously.
