Quotes
Man of the Match: Robin Uthappa: Yesterday while practising Pat Cummins had hit me on the toe. I have to thank the physio who got me ready and gave me a lot of protection on the shoes. I have come here to work hard on my skills. I am playing with a lot more correct technique these days.
Gautam Gambhir: It is good to have won 3 back to back games having lost 4. This shows the character of the team as well. The guys were pumped up to bring the campaign on track. A lot of credit to Robin for the way he played and the bowlers for restricting them to 141. Narine is a mystery bowler and we are very fortunate to have someone like him. He hasn't been among the wickets but he is the reason why we restrict teams.
Rohit Sharma: The wicket was doing a bit in first innings. 142 was not easy to defend in this ground. If you want to win games, you need to bat and bowl well. We have been bowling well in this tournament. But Batting hasn't been consistent. We have a few young talent who can replace Malinga like Hazlewood, De Lange. We are going to Ahmedabad in 3 more days and we can see what combination we can get.
