That's it from the Legends League Cricket season 2 and from our coverage from this game and the tournament. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Shashank Surly and scorer/analyst Manish Bishnoi. Hope you enjoyed our coverage, stay tuned for more cricket action from across the globe.
Gautam Gambhir collects the winner's cheque and the WINNING TROPHY!
Gautam Gambhir (India Capitals Skipper): "The second half of the competition got competitive which was good for us and the viewers as well. When they come back the next season the players will be better in terms of fitness and their plans as well. If you are retired from domestic cricket and are not getting picked in the IPL then you can come here and play but first class cricket is the most important format for me. I was thinking if we can get 140-150 we are in the game but the way these 2 guys batted getting us over 200 was just brilliant."
Champion team India Capitals will receive their medals.
Irfan Pathan (Losing Captain): "All the four teams did really well this contest, most people though these old peoples will come here and have fun and return home, it wasn't like that, all teams gave great fight and its been well organized, even with female umpires officiating. It has been demanding to play in this competition, thanks to all our physiotherapists for getting us ready and looking after us well. Gautam's team did well to recover, we didn't bowl well after the start we got, we will look to become a better side next season. I am looking forward to play for some more season. I congratulate Gautam Gambhir and India Capitals for winning the cup, he has led the side brilliantly."
The runner ups Bhilwara Kings are receiving their medals.
Power-hitter of the tournament: Ashley Nurse
Yusuf Pathan: "I really enjoyed batting on such a good wicket. All the teams were putting efforts so happy to perform. I enjoy playing with Irfan, we never really played franchise cricket together, we played domestic and international together but playing with him in the franchise circuit for the first time and making it to the finals is a good feeling."
Yusuf Pathan is the Legend of the Tournament!
Ross Taylor (Legend of the Match): "It was a tricky situation when we were 21/4, was looking to bat well and it was great to see Mitchell Johnson come out and him doing really well did my job easy. He has been a great player for Australia. My batting has been coming nicely in this tournament and had spent some time training before coming to this contest. It has been great to catch up with some of my Kiwi mates here in this tournament."
