Player of the Match

DC's Shikhar Dhawan wins the Player of the Match award for his match-winning knock of 92 from 49 balls hitting 13 fours and 2 sixes.

Shikhar Dhawan:It was a conscious effort from my side. I knew I have to improve on that (strike rate). Started taking more risks. Not afraid of changes, always open towards it. Not scared of getting out as well. Have worked on a few shots. My slog shot has improved a lot. It was there earlier as well, but now I play it more freely. I'm more relaxed, having played for so many years. Don't take things for granted. Great opening with Prithvi. Happy with the way he played today and scored those 30-40 runs.

Rishabh Pant: Coming from a loss, winning the next match was important. Have already started enjoying captaincy. But we were under pressure at the start, the wicket was not doing much. Bowlers did a good job keeping them to 190. What Dhawan isgiving to the team is commendable. Want to keep it light so people can enjoy their cricket.

KL Rahul, PBKS captain:Victory would have been sweet, so it's slightly disappointing. But we have a lot of games, so hopefully, we come back stronger and win few games. Right now it looks 10-15 runs short, but I think 190-odd looked good. I and Mayank thought 180-190 would have been great on this wicket. Shikhar batted well, so congratulationsto them. When we come to Wankhade, bowling second is always a challenge. We prepare for such conditions. It does get difficultagainst these quality batters. I'm not saying that because I'm on the losing side. Are bowlers try to bowl with the wet ball, but it's always difficult to do that. I asked the umpires to change the ball a couple of times (as it was wet), but the rule book doesn't allow that.
