Rishabh Pant: "Not an ideal birthday present as it was a tough match. In the powerplay they came hard at us. Prithvi got a decent start, but we lost wickets at regular intervals after that but the low target kept us in the game always and we did well. Everyone knows Shaw will play that way (Attacking) and Dhawan will help him at the top. The idea of sending Ashwin at no. 6 was to keep the leftie-righty combination going. Absolutely this is a big win for us as we've made sure to finish in top 2."

MS Dhoni: "We were looking at 150 but ended up being few runs short. We were looking good around 15-16 overs but we failed to accelerate as much as we would have liked to. We tried to play some shots at that stage but those delieveries ended up in wicket-keeper's gloves or as a top edge. It was a tough wicket to bat on because of it's 2 paced nature which makes it difficult for the batters. It was not ideal wicket to play shots. The tall bowlers who were hitting the deck hard were getting some movement from the wicket. Very good effort from the team but we knew they would come hard at us in the 2nd Innings."
