Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain Pat Cummins: ” Few runs short for sure especially when you are at Wankhede you always want more. You always feel like you’re in, the wicket had a little bit in it so we were definitely in the game.
It’s T20 cricket, and it doesn’t always work out. Surya played well. We like playing at home, we’ll wait and see what’s ahead of us. Hopefully, a few more fireworks and some win as well”
Mumbai Indians Captain Hardik Pandya: We want to play positive cricket and focus on the process, we feel we gave 10-15 runs more. The way the batters batted was excellent. In my bowling, I like to bowl in the right areas, I bowl according to the situation.
Bowled in the right areas today and it worked. I was like Chawla had to bowl from the shorter side. You have to be accurate, the margin of error has become smaller these days for the bowlers. It’s unbelievable, the best part of SKY is that he puts the bowlers under pressure. Lucky to have him in my team”

I went out to bat, needed someone to bat till the end. I just enjoyed my time. It’s from the Mumbai School of arts, have played a lot of cricket at Wankhede. Love it here”
