Rishabh Pant | LSG Captain: "We knew we were 20 runs short. In Lucknow, the toss played a big part. Whoever is bowling first gets a lot of help from the wicket. We just couldn't get it away. It always happens here, in the second innings the wicket gets better to bat on. We are not looking for excuses, we will regroup and refocus for the upcoming games."

KL Rahul | DC Opener: "I felt really good today. I know this ground well, and I was happy to help my team win. The wicket was slightly tricky, but my goal was to get us home without any drama. The chase was simple, and the partnership with Abishek set the stage for the victory. We were all well-prepared for this challenge."

Axar Patel | DC Captain: "The way we started with the ball was really controlled. We didn't take wickets early, but we didn't let the game slip away. Once we picked up a couple of quick wickets, we gained momentum. I felt in good rhythm today and made sure to rotate my bowlers accordingly. Our fielding can improve, but overall I am happy with the result."
