Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain Faf du Plessis: ” It’s a tough pill to swallow to be honest. Combination of two things, the outfield was very wet with dew, I needed to somehow win some tossed
Mumbai Indians Captain Hardik Pandya: “Always good to win. The way we have won, it’s quite impressive. The impact player has allowed to use an extra bowler if we require it. It gives us a cushion as well. The way Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan batted gave us the platform, it was important for us to finish it early. That’s the beauty of this team, players know what to do. Blessed to have Bumrah on my side. Surya does it over and over again. He practices a lot and the amount of experience and confidence he has is tremendous. I did tell him when he scored the fifty that welcome back.”
MI vs RCB Jasprit Bumrah is Player of the Match
Jasprit Bumrah: “ I am very happy with the outcome. But I will not say I had always thought of taking a five-for. The wicket was sticking in the first 10 overs. One of those days where things went in my favour and catches went to hand. In this format, it’s anyway very harsh on the bowlers so you need to have different skills. Can’t be a one-trick pony. Everyone is doing research and data. Have trained to have different skills. Bowling is tough because you will have to take a beating, you will have to have bad days to learn from it.”
