MI vs PBKS: Who Said What
Rohit Sharma (MI Captain): “Little disappointed. Made some mistakes in the field and not gonna look too much into it. We have to stay in the game we can’t worry too much on this. We have won three and lost three now. We made some errors and have something to look into it.
Quite happy the way Surya and Cameron batted and kept us in the game. A lot of credit to Arshdeep for the way he bowled in the last two overs.”
Sam Curran (PBKS Captain & POTM): “Pretty special win. I have had many games here for different sides and it’s a positive to win as an away side and defending a total. I don’t I should be getting the Man of the Match, I gave myself a chance before batting, the way Jitesh played was superb.
“We had to take responsibility. Hopefully Shikhar will be back soon. I think it’s time to give captaincy back to Shikhar after 2 wins out of three. We have some great players, great coaches who have helped me a lot. The coaches have created a great environment and boys are enjoying it. Still a long way to go. It is important that we enjoy ourselves.”
