MI captain, Rohit Sharma: "When we started T20 format, 140-150 was a winning score. But look at this one. Plus one extra batter makes a huge difference as well. Not just to us but across the IPL. I just checked that the average score this IPL is 180. Look he has been doing that for the last couple of years. Batted brilliantly.
To play behind the wicket, that's his strength and he utilised it really well. Surya and Kishan batted brilliantly and good finish by Tim and Tilak. Before the start of the season we spoke about how we want to play our cricket.
With the bat, we just wanted to go out there and play fearlessly and not worry about the results. Often you think about the results you move away from your plans.
But we talked right at the start that we want to be fearless. [Kishan] is a little man but he has got a lot of power. He practices those shots that we saw today. So what matters is what he does off the field and it comes off on the field. It is something that we need to look at, certain options we need to take in the middle of the overs, how to shut off overs. It's been three or four games where we have conceded 200 so we need to find those options in the middle."
