Player of the Match

DC' Amit Mishra wins the Player of the Match award for his four-wicket haul.

Amit Mishra:Just tried to bowl good areas, just try to take wickets. Different bowlers have a different styles. My style is to bowl in the air. Don't want to change much. Sometimes the speed maybe. I try to understand the wicket and bowl like that. They are winners for MI and so I always go for wickets against these guys initially. I was worried but I knew our batters are smart enough. They have some experience now after playing two matches here.

Rishabh Pant:When we started we were a little under pressure. Mishy bhai got us into the game. Bowlers did a great job to restrict them to 136. We like to talk it into the ground, take one match at a time. He's a great Indian player we're trying to groom Lalit Yadav. Can do wonders on pitches like these. What we've learned is if you keep wickets in hand you can chase any target.

Rohit Sharma, MI captain:After the start we got we should have batted better in the middle overs. It is happening time and again. We aren't able to capitalize on our starts and we need to understand as a batting unit. But you have to give credit to the Delhi bowlers, they kept it tight and kept taking wickets. We knew dew would come in but we have seen that it's not all that difficult to grip the ball in the last few games. Dew isn't the factor, we need to play smart cricket to win games which we didn't do today. [On his injury] It's only a niggle. It should be fine.
