Post match comments

Losing skipper MS Dhoni said: "Batting first was not a very good idea. It was tough to hit the faster bowlers in the first half. It was coming on better in the second half. Sai bowled very well in the middle overs."

On changes to the team, Dhoni added: "Had it been earlier in the tournament, it would have been a tactical move to have Shivam in. Had we sent him ahead it would have defeated the purpose of playing Jaggi today. We wanted him to spend time in the middle."

On junior Malinga, Dhoni said: "With Pathirana, the margin of error is slim. He's got a good slower one and it will be tough to hit him if he bowls consistent pace. We will look to give people chances."

Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami said: "In the afternoon games, it is important to maintain the right lengths. The length balls aren't easy to hit and it is important to maintain that and keep it simple. We have our plans and touchwood it keeps continuing.

"It is not easy to maintain the bond in a new franchise. But we are enjoying and crossing the line. Thanks to the support staff for making it all easy. When you lose, you do get hurt but you should look to better your form."

Winning captain Hardik Pandya said: "You don't get extra points for finishing early, so it is important to win. (On his captaincy) I did alright because having played in the previous franchise where a lot of responsibility was given to the players. I have enjoyed responsibility and it has helped me."

On Ashish Nehra, Pandya added: "Doing what have done in the past has helped. Ashu pa(Ashish Nehra) and me are very similar in mindsets. We connect without saying much."

On possible team change for last league match, Pandya said: "We'll see if any player requires rest otherwise we need to keep the momentum. The core group needs to be intact. If fast bowlers need rest, we'll rotate otherwise it'll stay the same."

Player of the match, Wriddhiman Saha said: "I have been playing for so long. But this setup takes care of the group. I didn't play the initial games but executed my plans when I got a chance. We were not chasing a big target. So I took my chances in the powerplay and then there was no need to take chances as the required rate was under six."

On the conditions, Saha added: "We saw when we were bowling that the odd ball stopped. So I thought of taking my chances initially before taking it easy. My role in the team is to play my natural game in the first six overs. After that, my strengths are to be backed, be it playing the sweep or charging down."
