Mayank Gusain (POTM): "I would like to dedicate this award to my father.
(The secret to his success with the ball tonight?) I had my plans. Grass on the wicket. I was looking to hit the right lengths and it worked well for me.
(Does he see himself more as a batting all-rounder or a bowling all-rounder?) Wherever the team needs me, I am there for them. I am a batting all-rounder. But I have worked on my bowling this year."
Player of the Match: Mayank Gusain
Ayush Doseja (West Delhi Lions Captain): "(About the win) Thank you so much, sir. It was a much-needed win after yesterday's result.
(On the bowling effort) That was exactly what we discussed after the previous match, that we had conceded too many runs. In today's game, everyone executed the plans really well. I'm especially happy with Mayank, who conceded just 13 runs in his four overs. It feels great, and above all, we're happy to have won the match.
(About the approach on the chase) The plan was that every batter who went in should spend a couple of balls getting set because it was a very good batting wicket. After that, we wanted to maintain a healthy run rate, finish the game strongly, collect the full points, and improve our net run rate as well. That was the idea. Finishing the match in the 18th over feels really good.
(On being the defending champions) It definitely gives us a lot more confidence, sir, and it's a huge source of motivation. More than pressure, I think it's a responsibility. Everyone in our team enjoys playing with that responsibility."
