What a sensational tournament this has been and what a fitting end. A humdinger of a contest and we have a brand new winner in this competition. Ta-ta and goodnight from the commentary box on the behalf of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty (me) and my fellow commentators Arjun Bhalla and Kingshuk Kusari.
Dwayne Bravo, Patriots skipper- First of all thanks almighty god to give us a chance to be champions. To my entire team and owners and most of all the fans of the St Kitts - they were our 12th man. This is for them. Belief - we gave the people opportunities.
And we backed each other. In my first session I had with Drakes, I told him he's not an emerging players, you're my main player. All the guys who came in, whether they play or not, the energy was there. I challenged myself to come here and see if I could do anything.
It was a new franchise, out of my comfort zone, coming here not knowing what to expect - I think this is in the top three for me. The Univesers Boss and The Champion in one team - one thing can happen.

Andre Fletcher, Lucia Kings captain- It's a bit hurtful but the guys played well, I cannot fault the way we played. We fought right till the end. Drakes played exceptionally well. I guess we weren't destined today. I think it came to execution - that 19th over if we had executed well, maybe tried to tuck him up, it might have been different. But that happens.
To be honest, for me, it's never over - no matter what position we're in. The two things I told the guys today was to stay calm and show humility. We did that today but unfortunately it didn't happen. [In the last over] I'll be honest, I was really confident we would defend it.
That four Drakes hit, Kesrick didn't miss the length by a lot. [Message to the fans] I know they're disappointed, we are all disappointed. Keep the faith. We're improving every season. Everyone had us as the punching bags, I'd say. But we've improved and trust me, we'll be back.

Roston Chase- Very thankful for this. My advice to youngsters is you always have more time than you think in T20s, so don't rush.
I thought camaraderie in the team was really good after such a short time, that's one thing we can take as positive. We also batted well and bowled really well in the powerplays. So those are the three things we can take.

Roston Chase is the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
Lewis- Pretty simple. Keep your shape and look at the ball till the last moment. I know I have the ability to hit the sixes and backed my ability. Getting off to a good start and hitting the sixes, these guys kept supporting me.
Evin Lewis is the winner of the Hero Maximum sixes award for the tournament. He will have a word with Ganga.
Akeal Hosein of the Trinbago Knight Riders wins the Catch of the Tournament award.
Jeavor Royal wins El dorado goodies for his unique celebrations.
Dominic Drakes- I just tried to keep my nerve and things worked in my favour. There was no run there. I think he was more nervous than me. Now I can go home and tell him I won the game. I believe he has played a big part. He was always there.
Bravo gives us a lot of confidence and tells us to go and play freely. Being clear in the back end always helps and holding your nerve is important. Also having faith in your teammates.
