On team combination and captaincy, Pant added: "Most of the things are sorted but we need to try a few things for the Kolkata leg. The competition is very good, it's difficult we can make everyone play. I am enjoying captaincy, learning each and every day. Everyone is helping me."

Meanwhile, man of the match and the losing skipper Mayank said: "He's (KL Rahul) going for a surgery, hopefully he should be back. Would've liked two points but we were ten short on that wicket and for the kind of PowerPlay they had, we had to really scramble there."

On his knock, Mayank added: "One batsman had to bat through and that was the plan, it was my day and tried to get as many as we can but didn't get as many in the middle overs but at least ended well."

On what's next for PBKS, Mayank said: "We have to shut this off and turn up next game and put our best foot forward, figure ways how to get those two points."

Mayank praised Harpreet stating: "Kudos to Harpreet, the way he turned and also hit a crucial boundary, he's bowling exceedingly well. It's about doing well as a unit, hopefully we will doing well next game."
