Sanju Samson: We are aware of the abilities of the people we have in our batting line-up. That's why it's disappointing when we lose. With this team, we always think about winning the game. The wicket was behaving really well in the last 3-4 overs, so we knew it'd be much better in the second innings. I am happy I guessed it right. They have been giving good starts, they almost finished off the game in the powerplay. Very happy for Jaiswal, we are very sure he'll make it big. He keeps on eating. We have been discussing Dube in the last 2-3 games. We thought today might be his day. He has been working hard in the nets. Unbelievable batting by Gaikwad. There's no risk the way he plays, proper cricketing shots. Very happy he scored a hundred, respect him. We are not thinking too far ahead, one game at a time.
Most Valuable Player of the Match: Ruturaj Gaikwad
Let's Crack it Sixes: Ruturaj Gaikwad
Super Striker of the Match; Yashasvi Jaiswal
MS Dhoni: A bad toss to lose. 190 was a good score, and the dew made it flat, and the ball started coming on the bat very well. You needed to bat well, and they did that and put pressure on the bowlers. They just took the game away in the first 6 overs. 250 would've been closer to par, given they won it with 15 balls to spare. It was stopping a bit with their wrist spinners, and it started coming on better later, that's when Ruturaj capitalised really well. Often when you lose the game it can get brushed under the carpet but it was a great knock. I think the batsmen must assess quickly what is a good score, and you tend to go hard in the format and then realise that it's not a 160-180 wicket. They assessed the conditions quickly, and they didn't let the pressure get to the middle order. Deepak played really well, and the bowlers were under the pump. We should have used the dimensions better. It's a long tournament and such things happen. It's important to forget but also learn from this game because there's no point learning if this happens in a playoff match.
