Morne Morkel is the Man of the Match 

Gautam Gambhir: I think credit should go to the entire unit. It was a tough total to chase and the way we chased it was great. It was a very good wicket, but we never knew how it's going to behave. It was a pretty new wicket in Kolkata and the way Morne bowled, it was exceptional. It shows a lot of character and the mental toughness, so the credit should go the bowling unit. Suryakumar Yadav as I said during the toss that he is an important player and he showed us why it was right to make him the vice-captain. We love the support here today.

Rohit Sharma: The kind of wicket it was, we were probably 10-15 runs short. We should have done better with the ball though. We didn't execute our plans well. Let's hope the guys can pick up from this and come out in a positive manner. The pace was good. The wicket was very good. It is a trend in Kolkata as the pitch is always good to bat. We just have to go back and need to make a good comeback. Doesn't please to be on the losing side, but let's hope the guys will learn from them. Once we go back to Mumbai, we will figure things out.
