Rohit Sharma: 'It was a Jasprit Bumrah Masterclass again'!

Rohit Sharma: "I've been someone who has seen him (Bumrah) play for so many years, but even I don't know how he does it. It is a masterclass. He backs his skills and he is a very confident lad. Hardik was brilliant as well, bowling that last over. Fantastic for the fans to support us through New York till Barbados.

"And all the guys in India, it is a late night but I'm sure they'll all be waiting to watch this. They have been waiting a long time, just like us."

Rohit Sharma: 'I don't know how Virat Kohli keeps on delivering when you need him'

Virat Kohli: "I am very proud of this bunch of boys to give us the liberty to play the way we want and execute. And credit needs to go to the management as well. Nobody was in doubt with Virat's form.

"We know the quality he has, come the occasion the big players will stand up. Virat was holding that end up for us, we wanted someone to bat as long as possible. This wasn't a wicket where a new guy could come and play straight.

"That's where the experience of Virat comes through. I've been someone who has seen him play for so many years, but even I don't know how he does it."

Rohit Sharma: "When the back is against the wall, we stuck together!"

Rohit Sharma: "Very hard to sum up what we have been through for the last 3-4 years. We work very hard as a team, lot has gone on behind the scenes. It is not today, it is what we have been doing for the last 3-4 years.

"We have played lots of high pressure games and come on the wrong side too. But the guys understand what is to be done when the back is against the wall, we stuck together and the guys, all of us really wanted to win this really bad."

"We bowled well, there wasn't a lot to work with and retrict them to a chaseable total. We batted well, came down to the wire in a great game of cricket but not quite there for us today. We've seen a lot of our games, it isn't over till the last ball is bowled.

"We never got comfortable and there was always scorebaord pressure. Having said that, this was a really good game which proves that we were worthy finalists."

"We always believed, it was just about executing our plans and staying calm and letting the pressure come to them. Credit to Jassi (Bumrah) and the other bowlers for those last 5 overs. Knew it would not help me if I wasn't calm, wanted to commit 100% to every ball I've bowled. I've always enjoyed pressure.

"Very happy for him (Dravid), he's been a wonderful man, really enjoyed working with him, to give him a farewell like this is wonderful, have had a very good relationship with him and became friends. Very happy for all the support staff."
