Rohit Sharma (MI Captain): We just lost the game. We lost the little moments of the game. We have to keep our heads high. The pitch was good to bat and that score was definitely chasable. In hindsight, we gave too many runs at the back end.
The way we started, we were in a good position to chase. But we lost our way in the second half of our innings. Stoinis played well and assessed the conditions really well. Credit to him. We have to come out and win the last game against SRH.
Krunal Pandya (LSG Captain): I was having cramps and I felt like I pulled a muscle. Anything for the team, I have been a team player.
Really happy for Mohsin. He has a big heart. When you have a big heart you go a long way. He was injured for the last year. He went through a big surgery. But he did well. It has not been easy for us. Though we have played some good cricket, the results haven't been in our favour. Fans have supported us and good to give them a win.
Marcus Stoinis (Player of the Match): Great moment for Mohsin. He had been injured since the last IPL. To come into the game and the bowl the final over was great. It was very close. There's a long little things that go your way.
We've shown over the last two years that there's no superstars winning games. Different people contributing for our wins. We are missing KL through injury but other people are standing up. KP is leading us well. GG and Andy have been superb as well.
