🏏Legends League Cricket 2022 - Finals 05/10/2022🏏 - Page 42

Ross Taylor, Player of the Match: It has been a fantastic tournament and nice to contribute. Did not think we would get 200. But the way Mitchell Johnson came out there and the partnership we had was fantastic. He did it a few times for Australia as well, so not a surprise. He made my job a lot easier and he probably deserves this award as well. It has been great fun. You don't think you will get an opportunity to play again. It was nice to hit a couple out of the middle and hopefully I can come back a few more years.

Irfan Pathan, Bhilwara Kings captain: It has been a fantastic league. Four teams played very good cricket. Lot of people thought this will be a league where retired players come, have fun and go home. This has been a hard-fought tournament. The female umpires getting chances to officiate in this league. It has been fantastic. The physios have done really well, looked after us. It has been demanding but this is what we do. We love to be associated with the game and there is nothing better. Kudos to Gautam and his team. Ross Taylor, he is in outstanding form. Mitch played really well. We did not bowl in the right areas. If you bowl like that, you are going to get hit. The workload I have had in the last month gave me a lot of confidence.

Gautam Gambhir, India Capitals captain: In Lucknow, it was not that competitive. In the last few games, it got really competitive. You want to push as much as you can. I think guys will get better in the next season and it is going to be much better. Indian cricket is still important. First-Class cricket is still the most important format. But if you don't want to play domestic cricket and are not getting picked in the IPL, you can come here and play. We did not have any other options apart from Mitch but it was an incredible comeback.

Congratulations to India Capitals for winning the series.🥳

What a come back!

21 for 4 in the 5th over to 211 in 20 overs is commendable.👏

I think those first 5 overs of India Capitals belong to Bhilwara kings and rest of the 35 overs belong to India Capitals.

Cheers..
