KKR vs GT IPL 2023: Who said What

Nitish Rana (KKR Captain): "I think we were 20-25 runs short. If we keep dropping catches against big teams, I do not think the result will be any different. No one apart from Gurbaz and Russell got going. There were not enough partnerships and had we had a partnership of 40-50 runs, the score could have been more.

We kept them quiet in the middle overs but against such teams, if you do not take your chances, you will end up on the losing side. If we do well in all three departments, only then will we have a chance. If you do these small things well, like taking catches and fielding well, there are more chances of victory."

Hardik Pandya (GT Captain): "They got us back in the game and kept us in the hand. Gurbaz was batting excellently with conviction. Hence the way they pulled back, I would have taken 180 on that pitch any given day." (On Noor Ahmad and Joshua Little)

"I think somewhere in a group we know we have to play good cricket. That humbleness and acceptance to play good cricket are helping us."

(ON Vijay Shankar) "He is fitter, more confident. The amount of work he has done is amazing. Coming forward you will see a lot of good things from him. Good guys get to good places, and I believe that of him."

Joshua Little (Player of the Match): "I just spoke to Hardik and hitting hard length consistently helped me today. The first game always was a bit nervy in IPL, but I have settled in nicely and was in a good rhythm.

"Back of-a-length bowling was my main aim and I just let the ball do the talking."
