IND vs AFG 3rd T20I: Who Said What?

Ibrahim Zadran (Afghanistan captain): We are happy with the overall performance. We played good cricket, unfortunately we lost in the Super Over. We got lots of positives from this series and this experience will help us in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The boys gave their best in these 3 games. We never played this kind of cricket in T20, especially against India and in the batting department as well. Really happy. We will take some positives from this series and focus on improving a little bit in the T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma (India captain): I don't remember when was the last time this happened. I think I batted 3 times in one of the IPL games. Creating the partnership was important and we (Rinku and I) kept talking to each other to not lose that intent in big games and it was a good game for us to be in. The pressure was there and was important to bat long and deep and not compromise on the intent we want to show.

The last couple of series that he played, he showed what he can do with the bat. Very calm and knows his strength pretty well. He is coming off age and doing what is expected of him and he has done really well for India. Augurs well for the team moving forward, wanted someone like that at the backend and we know what he has done in the IPL and he has carried that to the Indian colors as well.

Shivam Dube (Man of the Series): As an all-rounder you always want to be the Player of the Series, and this is something new I achieved in my life and it feels really good.

We scored a lot of runs on this ground and we thought we would win before the Super Over, but such is cricket and well done to both teams. There are many things I want to improve, especially in my bowling and I'm trying to get better with each passing game.

Ravi Bishnoi: The pressure was there, the heartbeat was racing, but I was confident about getting the job done. I was told by the captain that I'll bowl - I knew it wouldn't be easy for them if I bowl back of the length ball, it would be tough to smash on the back-foot.

It gives a lot of pleasure to defend during the super overs. I'm happy with the way the ball is leaving my hand. My only thought is to ensure that the batter doesn't get himself used to only one type of delivery, I've worked on my leg-spin in the nets and at the domestic levels.
