    Captains Talk

    David Warner | Losing captain(SRH)

    I think I got my decision right. For us, our strength is death bowling. I thought it was actually a difficult wicket to accelerate on. I don’t regret what I did at the beginning of the game and I stick by my decision.

    Cummins bowled Test-match line and length. There was a little bit of movement. It got harder in the middle. Extra 30 or 40 runs would have been great.

    Dinesh Karthik | Winning team Captain(KKR):

    Always good to get on board. We have been working really hard. I think one of the advantages of having all-rounders and it is a privilege to use them whenever I can. The fact that we have been able to groom youngsters is pleasing.

    It feels good to see the youngsters doing well. I want Gill to enjoy his journey in cricket. One duck doesn’t make you a bad player. I need to probably up my game and get a few runs.

    Shubman Gill, Man of the Match(KKR)

    I think the ball wasn’t spinning much and was easy to hit down the ground. I have practiced power hitting in the last couple of years. I think it was important for us to win. We bowled really and we had to back it up with a good performance.

    There weren’t any long conversations with Morgan. We were just trying to anticipate what the bowlers can try and do. As an opener, it is my duty to see my team through.
