That's a wrap

It was a fitting finale with Bangladesh running India really close. It could have gone either way but India emerged on the victorious side in the battle of nerves. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Join us soon for more international cricket, starting with the South Africa-Zimbabwe ODI on Sunday.

Post match formalities

Rohit Sharma, India captain: "We played some good cricket throughout the tournament and this is the reward of all the hard work throughout the tournament. I have been part of games like this before and credit to the guys in the middle to handle the pressure, and to cross the finishing line was a fantastic effort. You have to give some credit to Bangladesh. They put us under pressure in the first 10 overs. We thought if the ball got older, the spinners would do the work for us. It was important to keep it tight and we have done that well throughout the tournament. If you have a team like that, the captain will always look good. It wouldn't be easy if we don't have the support of the remaining 10 players, so I am really proud of the boys. I would like to thank the crowd, who have come out in huge numbers to support us throughout the tournament."

Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh Captain: "I hope we won a lot of hearts. We fought till the last ball, but we made a lot of mistakes on the field today. We bowled really well. We asked the batsmen to make at least 260, but at the end of the day the bowlers did really well. I wanted to bowl the quicks first, because I wanted to restrict the runs as they were going after us. We didn't want the spinners to be charged so I bowled out the fast bowlers."

Shikhar Dhawan is the Man of the Series for his rich haul of 342 runs at an average of 70. Here's what he had to say: "I enjoyed this tournament. Fantastic final. Good tournament for me, enjoyed my batting, and hope to continue in the same way. I enjoy playing it in a cool and mature manner. I was playing more calmly this time, and I want consistency and elegance at the same time. Rohit and I keep switching the aggressor's role sometimes, and I congratulate him for having a fantastic Asia Cup too."
