Milestone
That's it from all of us for this game. It was a thriller of a contest and the Titans finish on the winning side. Do join us next time as we will be back with cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentators Arijit Kundu and Ninaad Dixit and scorer Paras Yadav. Tata. Bye Bye.
Mohit Sharma (Player of the Match): "Did not think too much. I've played three years in Mohali, had a very good time so I was thinking the pitch will be at the slower side. The dew factor was in mind if we bowled in the 2nd innings. I thought of bowling variations but I was fortunate that Hardik was standing besides me. Whenever I was thinking to change, we would discuss and get to a clear vision. That's why we were probably a bit late.
You have to give your 100% when you train and when you practice. You have to create that sort of a scenario in the nets and bowl like that. You get to know who are you playing against and then you have to bowl accordingly.
Every individual has got a different role. I was clear in my mind that 85% of the time I will bowl after the halfway stage. I might get the new ball but I am told when I can do that. All the credit goes to the environment created by the coaching staff. The role is defined which is a very good thing."

Hardik Pandya (Gujarat Titans Skipper): "To be very honest, I wouldn't appreciate the game going this close. This is the beauty of the sport. The game is not over until it's all over. We have to get to the drawing board and make sure that games don't go this close.
We 60 required from 6 overs, we would have taken a few chances and not taken it to the last over. They bowled well in the middle overs. The wicket was good but due to the hardness of the wicket and the ground, the ball was holding a bit. I was not surprised. In the middle overs, Alzarri and Mohit bowled brilliantly.
Credit to Mohit. It's all hard work. He was with us last year and kept believing in himself and knew that his time will come. It would have been a tough pill to swallow if we had finished on the losing side tonight. I would like to finish the game early and I'm not a fan of taking the game to the last over."
