Suryakumar Yadav: A top effort from everyone on the field. A great crowd from the start till the end, they were always behind us and there was support from everyone. We didn't want to go back after 10/3 and boys know what brand of cricket we wanted to play. Three wickets in one over, it was too much for us. But the way they batted, the way they responded, the positive intent they showed in the middle and the way Hardik and Dube showed their experience, it was great. This is one thing we've been talking about - expressing yourself and you bat the same way as you bat in the nets. These guys, the way they practise during the net sessions, that's incredible and they do the same in the game, so I am really happy. I think we are moving in the right direction. I knew post-powerplay, between 7-10, that was the time we could control the game and the same thing happened, we picked a few wickets and controlled the game. Post-drinks, when unfortunately Shivam Dube couldn't come in, Harshit Rana came in as the third seamer and delivered it for us, that was incredible. (What to expect in Mumbai?) Lot of fireworks, I am sure.
