Sharma: “We were probably 10-15 runs short but still should have done more with the ball. We did not execute our plans well, but there is still time, I hope the team can come out and do better next time. I am pleased with my knock but ending on a losing side does not feel nice. We can learn from this result and we will figure out what we can do better next time.”
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS WON BY 7 WICKETS
Gambhir: “Credit needs to go to the entire unit. It was a tough chase and the way we chased showed we were the deserving winners. The way Morne bowled was exceptional, and the way Sunil came back shows he has a lot of mental strength. I am happy to start the tournament on a high but it only matters how many points the team gets.”
