Axar Patel is the Man of the Match
Bailey: It's very satisfying and gratifying. A lot can happen in these shortened games. The bowling pleased me a lot. The boys were under the pump, but they executed their plans well. It's good to get a win after going through that rough patch. We have worked hard on those losses and we need to celebrate this win. Hopefully, we can continue like this and win two on the trot. Their top three is the key and we knew if we could crack them open, we had a great chance of winning.
Virat Kohli: We wanted this win. We need those 2 points to get into the top 4, but we are not relying on that. We need to focus on what KXIP bowled really well towards the death. Sending Saha right up the order was a great move, I think that made the difference. They played quite well, they had nothing to lose, so credit to them. We have been playing really good cricket. We had one loss against Chennai but we didn't focus too much on it. We need to focus on our strengths. I feel for George, it is never easy for a captain when you keep losing. Last year, we finished seventh as well.
Punjab won by 22 runs.
