Mohammed Siraj, Man of the Match
David Warner: It would have been a shame to miss out on the playoffs. We tried to communicate after the first wicket. When we lost couple of wickets we realized the wicket was slowing up. Credit to Siraj for the way he bowled. India have got some brilliant pace bowling names.. from Bumrahs to Bhuvis to Ishants, the list just goes on. I think it is all about batting around to each other. To have the luxury to have guys come and rotate strike in the middle overs. We are very happy. With the way this wicket was, we knew this was going to be tough as the ball got older. Obviously we are not worrying about the next few games. We will take one game at a time. Thanks to all the people who came out to watch the last couple of games.
Raina: It's been that way for a couple of games, lack of experienced bowlers cost us. Credit to SRH, they had a game plan and went along with it. It was a disappointing year this time around, but there was some positives - the bowling of Basil Thampi was excellent, Ishan Kishan batted very well. Disappointing season, we need to forget this year - we didn't play well as an unit. Thanks to the crowd in Kanpur and Rajkot, the support here was outstanding and the facilities were great as well. Thankful to the administrators and the groundsmen for their work. We had a fine platform set today, but we lost our way completely after the first 10 overs.
