Andre Russell is the Man of the Match

Gambhir: Unbelievable knock from Russell and Yusuf. We were never there, well we were there until the 17th over. Going for 60 odd runs in the last three. The way we started, our CV wasn't upto the mark. This is one of my favourite Yusuf innings. That one over from Watson where Yusuf cashed in set the game for us. At this venue, 12-13 runs per over is chaseable. We know Surya can be dangerous as a finisher as well and we also knew they had the Indian bowling and with not much of death bowling experience. It was matter of hanging in and having wickets in hand. Chasing 15rpo (runs per over) and getting it down to 7rpo set it up. Russell bowled very well up front. These are positive signs. Umesh didn't have a good day but he's a quality bowler. We need to sort these last 2 overs out and be more professional, and we can go a long way.

Kohli Nothing much to say. I think we needed to take our chances. Getting to 100/4 and then getting it to go away. Couple of chances came our way and guys like Russell will make you pay. We got 185, wicket was sticky and their bowlers bowled well. We were on course, our batters had batted well at the end but that's how it goes. If you don't take chances, the other team will make you pay. These games can pull a player down. Need to be positive and need to correct our mistakes.
