Who said what?
Shubman Gill (winning captain and match player)
Very happy. We talked about these two games – which they will decide where we stand on the table. Very happy to obtain these two victories back to back. We just want to play our best game whenever we are there. We never speak that one of us must stay until the end. We are just talking about how we can score races in these conditions and how to take the game in depth. We were in advance in the game, but it is one thing to be in advance and another to close the game. So, it was only a few of my emotions (talking about his animated celebration after the counter of Venky Iyer). In this format, it is difficult to have a perfect game. There will always be areas. Like today too – we could have had 10 points more if I had stayed there. And some uns forked errors in the bowling alley. But the main thing is that even if you don’t play the perfect game, you can find a way to win, and that’s what we are really good.
Ajinkya Rahane (loss captain)
I thought that 199 was high, we came back very well in the game with the ball. When you continue 199, you expect a good start to open with the strikers, this is where we have trouble throughout this tournament. I thought that 199 was hidden on this counter, we played very well, we wobbled with our striker. We have to learn as quickly as possible and continue. It was a bit slow, but we thought that if we were doing them below 200, it will be really good. We know these conditions very well, we have to beat properly, we have to beat well in the middle of the Overs, this is where we have trouble. When you continue a large target, you expect a good start from the opening strikers. This is what we seek to improve, as a striker, without complaining about our quisors. Quicks have a very good game after the match. Fielding is part that I still believe that we can control in a team. If you can save 10 to 15 points on the field, it’s always better for the team. It is always intention and attitude, you must be on throughout the 20 Overs, this is where we miss. But guys work hard. This format always consists in being courageous. You cannot think too much about the past. You have to learn from your mistakes. Whenever you manage well, look for an improvement. If you do not manage well, even if we get 1% as a team, this is very important. As a striker, you must be courageous, take the opportunity and take the positive mentality. If you think you are going out, you will go out. If you think of shopping, it’s always on this subject. I’m sure our strikers think about it. It’s just a matter of time, we have quality strikers in the middle order and I support them completely. Angkrish beat very well. Today, we have pushed the other boys to increase the execution rate.
