Quotes

Rohit Sharma (Man of the Match) - 'This was our best game of the season thus far. The pitch was playing true as it always does here and the outfield was racy. The batting went according to plans and we were happy with the score. Bowling second is always hard at Wankhede as it's hard to grip the ball. The bowlers stepped in wonderfully well to pick wickets at key moments of the game. Happy to be among the runs and it feels nice to contribute. We need to be positive and take it one game at a time as momentum can shift quickly in T20.'

Virat Kohli: It was a gettable total. We could have been smarter with batting. Parthiv and Gayle gave a dream start but couldn't capitalize on it. Every team is playing hard and these type of things happen on the field but it is important to do things rightly. We can take lot of positives from this game. We need to win 5 out of the remaining 7 games. We have guys who can win games single-handedly.
