Who Said What After MI’s Big Win?

Pat Cummins | SRH captain:

"It wasn't the easiest wicket. Few runs short, we would have liked a couple more with the bat. Tricky wicket, when you come here you expect it to be really fluent and fast, just wasn't that. They bowled really well, shut down a lot of our hitting areas. I thought we had all our bases covered, with 160 you feel like you are a little bit short. We gave it a good crack with the ball. We thought we needed wickets, we had plenty of death bowling, we knew the impact player would bowl 1-2 overs that's why we went with Rahul. You have got to play well away from home to make the final, unfortunately it hasn't clicked so far this season, we have a short break and we go again. Every game we talk about assessing, the boys did well to get through the powerplay and there wasn't reckless hitting, next game is at home and we know that venue pretty well."

Will Jacks | Player of the Match:

"The tournament we had a little bit of a slow start as a team and personally. We dropped a catch off the first ball. It dipped and I was late on it. I should have caught it. Just taken me little bit of time to settle into the new franchise. Now we are gelling together. We have a great set up. Taking advantage of everyone near me. I would want to do whatever the team requires of me. It is about communication. Till the team is winning, I don't care. If you are bowling slower balls, bowl it into the wicket. Have been working on being attacking against spin. I will keep working on it."

Hardik Pandya | MI captain:

"I think the way we bowled today was very smart and spot on. We stuck to simple basic plans. Certain balls were not easy to hit. Credit to the bowlers that we made them hit some good shots. We were kind of squeezing them. If u look at it, had a nice green grass look to it. The first couple of overs that Deepak bowled, couple of balls got stuck in. We decided to use change of pace balls. As soon as we figured out, we trying to mixing it up. We executed the yorkers very smartly. That is the beauty of Jacks. He can be a gun fielder. Bowl those gun overs. Today it came off for him. When we needed 42 off 42, it was tricky. We wanted to take our time. It is going to be a great game. It is going to be a packed house."
