Hardik Pandya is the Man of the Match
Rohit: It was a nerve-wracking game. It went down to the last ball, but we held out nerves. A great game for the supporters to watch but extremely happy with the way things turned out today. I think 170 was a good score, the odd ball was stopping and gripping. We didn't know how much was a good score. We have played here before and 180 off is usually the par total. During the strategic timeout, Pollard has handled the situation before and I went with my instinct to bowl him. His body language was confident and I threw the ball to him. We want to concentrate on what we have been doing as a team. Our training sessions have been good and precise, the guys are putting in a lot of effort. We have one final game against SRH, it is going to be a different challenge but we are up for that challenge.
Gambhir: I always felt that we gave away too many runs in the end. Not a great effort by the bowlers at that time. Taking it to the last over was a good effort, but we needed to be more sensible with the bat. The wicket wasn't doing too much, but we kept losing wickets at crucial junctures. Yusuf played an unbelievable knock and letting them score 170 odd was probably the game changer. The first 15 overs we were pretty much in the game. You can't let anyone score 70 in the last five. A little more sense in the last two overs with the bat would have probably got us home. Hopefully, we can turn up well against Rajasthan Royals and win the game.
