Suryakumar Yadav is the Man of the Match

Gambhir: It is a very important win. There was pressure on the middle order and they were tested. Surya batted unbelievably. Manish was a big blow. He was hitting it well and was our consistent No. 3. The way Surya batted, showed his versatility. Can play the new ball as well as finish games off. We could have been more professional with our death bowling, 17 off the last over is too many. This was a wicket where 160 was above par. The guys were professional. Yusuf also had a hit and there were more positives than negatives.

Dhoni: It was the length (on where they lost the game). I thought it was difficult to hit the spinners as I told him not to pitch it up. But, I think after that there were some 5-6 sixes hit, 30 runs too many. It was a good score and there are no excuses for us. When there is pressure on the individual, they are backing off. It (taking responsibility) is a very strong character to have and not many have that. What really matters is, how you execute the plans on field. If we have to compete in this tournament, our bowling unit has to step up. Murugan Ashwin is new to the arena, but he has to take care of things which are under his control. When you have the bat or ball in your hand, it is up to you, nobody can help you. There are many bowlers who are not part of a settled team, that is something we need to look into. We also should score 10-15 runs more.
