The skipper further added, "We looked to experiment a bit in the last five minutes of the match as we had already sealed the game by then. I told the raiders to try to pick up raid points and work on their mistakes if they made any. We also tried different defensive combinations in the last few minutes of the game."

Meanwhile, the Puneri Paltan Head Coach BC Ramesh expressed that the team will field new faces in their upcoming matches, "We'll look to give opportunities to players on the bench in our upcoming matches. There are good players on our bench as well so we'll feel good to give them chances. They are also waiting for opportunities to showcase their talent."
