India vs Australia 3rd T20I: Who Said What

Glenn Maxwell, Player of the Match: It all went pretty quickly. It was hard work for them to bowl yorkers with so much dew. We didn't really have a number in mind. Knew we would be in the game if we could take it down to the final over. Wade had to be out there to cash in with Axar having one over left towards the end. Wade was brilliant out there, the way he went helped me as well.

Matthew Wade, Australia captain: You don't get much better than that. It was hard work. Injury to Kane (Richardson) threw a spanner in the works and had to bowl Maxi in the last over. He played brilliantly, got a 100 in his 100th T20I. Wouldn't say I was confident, I was a bit grumpy going in at the halfway mark.

Thought we were in the game at 190 after the 19th over but the last over went for 30. Richardson hurt himself so I was one over short. All in good fun in the end, Maxi probably wouldn't have got a 100 if he didn't toss up 30 in that over. The boys are in good spirits. Hopefully, we can pinch another one in the next game and take it down to the last game.

Suryakumar Yadav, India captain: The plan was to get Maxi out as quickly as possible. To defend 220 with so much dew, have to give something to the bowlers. Australia were always in the game. Told the boys we'll try and get him (Maxwell) out quickly but it didn't happen, it was insane. Axar is an experienced bowler, thought there's always a chance for an experienced bowler even if it's a spinner when there's dew. Very proud of my boys.
