Post-match thoughts

Shubman Gill | Man of the Match: It feels great, my first MoM at my home ground. Can't get better than this. It was important to build partnership. The run-rate was going around 9-10, so that's when I decided I had to stay in there. Even some relatives from my village came to watch so it's great to play in front of everyone. We have one more match to go, and it would be very nice if we can win that and make it into the play-offs.

Dinesh Karthik: We live to fight another day. It's been a hard few days. I wasn't too happy with the way the bowlers and the fielders were doing, so I thought I should let the boys know what I felt at that time. It si rare, not many people have seen me angry. If I feel I need to be angry to get the best out of the boys, then maybe. The last over went for 10 runs too many, but we have to give it to Sam Curran. IPL is that kind of a tournament where someone comes in and scores runs for you, so there's that balance. It's a big ground, but we did the small things well. Ran well, put pressure on the bowler, and good execution on the batsmen. It's fair that we have given Gill a chance at the top of the order, and he has grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Chris Lynn: It is good to play with smile, we missed that in the last couple of games. Boys put on a good show tonight. He(DK) lost his bowels there but that is DK and we have lived upto it in the last couple of weeks. We got a couple of wickets early but Sam Curran got them to a decent total in the end. We were clinical with the bat. It was a good wicket, momentum is massive in this game. We lost it in the back end but grabbed it back quickly. Gill was brilliant for us. I am not a TV person but will be glued with the TV for the Sunrisers game tomorrow.

Ashwin: It's been a par total. We have defended 175-180 before but we knew very well that there's gonna be dew in the second half and I thought they batted really well. Starting with Lynny and then Gill played superbly. We bowled well in the first three overs and then it just got a little away from us and obviously that edges didn't help. Massive positives for us with respect to Pooran and Sam. Sam batted beautifully, we all know he is got the ability and he's got the fight in him and he pulled off pretty well.
