Sanju Samson created the record of scoring a century on a captaincy debut, however, he wasn't able to finish the match for his team and fell short. Talking about the match, he said, "I don't have words to tell, very close game, came close but unfortunately. I don't think I could have done anything more, timed it well, but unfortunately couldn't clear the man in the deep.

About bowlers going for runs, he said, "It's all part of the game. We thought the wicket was getting better and we could chase the target down. Despite the loss, I think the team played really well."
