I always, always choose Marcus Stoinis for MoM !!! 😭😭

God knows why I didn't choose him today 😩😩

I had thought about picking him but then pitch was a slow one and he is big hitter! I thought MI bowlers will trick him and he will get out after hitting few boundaries

Rohit Sharma: We didn't play well enough to win the game. There were little moments in the game that we didn't win unfortunately. We assessed the pitch really well and it was a good pitch to bat on and that score was definitely chaseable and we lost our way in the second half of the innings. We gave too many runs at the back end and the last three overs went for a few. But the way we started with the bat we were in a good position to chase, but like I said we lost our way in the second half. He (Stoinis) played really well, kept hitting straight which is what you need to do on a pitch like this. It was a brilliant knock from him. Not sure how the calculation (about the points and NRR) will work, but we need to come out and play some good cricket in our last game (against SRH).

Mohsin Khan: The plan was to execute what I did in practice and I executed. Even Krunal was talking to me and I told him the same. The run-up is the same, did not change it in the last over. I was trying to calm myself down, not look at the scoreboard and bowl the 6 balls well. Since the wicket was gripping, I tried the slower ball, but I bowled two of those and then changed to the yorker and it was reversing as well. Been a tough time as I was injured, playing after a year. My father got discharged from the ICU yesterday and he was in the hospital for the last 10 days and I did it for him, he would have been watching. I'm grateful to the team and the support staff, Gautam [Gambhir] sir, Vijay [Dahiya] sir for playing me this game even though I did not do well last game.

Oh boy! Sending good wishes to him!

At first my mom and highest scorer was SKY then I changed it to Stonis but all this way I made a little mistake jo mere 50points khayega main mom stonis ko di but highest scorer nahin badli thi but but but real twist is main soch rahi thi mera highest scorer bhi Stonis hain fir dekhi SKY se badli hi nahin😭

Aww tough poor him. Hope his dad is okay. Glad he played well

Can't believe players get punished like this for going late to MI meetings.

Nehal had to wear the pads over his trousers as a punishment that was given to him by his franchise for getting late to the batters meeting
