KKR captain Eoin Morgan is the Player of the Match for his steady innings of 47 from 40 balls which is guided his side to the win.
Eoin Morgan:Wins haven't been easy to come by. Have worked incredibly hard. Today, along with a bit of luck, the performance was very impressive, particularly with the ball up front. When the wicket's like that - from the 12th over of our innings, the ball was sliding on. Only his second game this season (Mavi). The match-up against Gayle was favorable. He bowled well in the last game and started well here. For him to make an impact is a huge credit to him. The advantage we have over most spinners is that Our spinners are variation bowlers. They don't rely on drift and turn. They control their lengths well and rely on a tiny amount of turn and today they were exceptional. A lot of time to go in the tournament. Hopefully, today can kickstart something for us. Certainly think it's challenging and it does have to be managed for players, coaching staff. When you consider the horrific nature of what's happening outside the bubble. If we weak masks, socially distance we can beat this. I have seen the devastation up close back home. I wish everyone a very best from the KKR family.
KL Rahul, PBKS captain:It is never nice to be on the losing side. Don't know what to say. We should have adapted better. We could have applied a lot more with the bat. Expect the boys to be smarter. Some soft dismissals have cost us the game. It was a bit two-paced. Kept a little up-down. Was tough to assess what are the high-risk shots here. It is expected of good teams to adapt quicker. We need to keep our heads higher and keep trying. Bishnoi'scatch was stunning, especiallywhen you have a coach like Jonty Rhodes. He puts usto tough tests and sees how every boy reacts. The training rubs on during match situations. Hopefully, we can keep building and get better.
