Sunil Narine (POTM): "Ahh... I think cricket is all about batting. If we can contribute more with the bat, it's pleasing for us and for the team. But I enjoy my bowling.
(On not attending the batter's meeting) I follow one rule: The less we know, that's much better for me.
(On why he was not opening the batting in ILT20) We (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders) had sufficient batters, so the opening was not needed then.
At the end of the day, it is what the team needs. If they need me to bat, I will bat. Salt is aggressive and gets the scoring going, so all the pressure isn't on me.
On a good wicket like that, I tried to keep things tight. With the scoreboard pressure on them, it was much easier tonight. Overall, I say that it was a complete team performance with the ball. Wickets up front with the new ball, and we kept the lid on the scoring throughout. We wanted to win by a bigger margin, so it helps later on in the tournament."

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: SUNIL NARINE
Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Skipper): "To be honest, the way we start, I thought we would get 210-220 but really happy with 270.
Obviously, as I said, Sunil's job is to go out there and free his arms. He gets us to a flying start in the powerplay and take on the bowlers and it makes our job easier.
Raghuvanshi was very good. He was fearless from ball one. His work ethic has been phenomenal. He reads the situation really well and plays smartly. Was pleasing to see him play those strokes.
It's great to see the bowlers stepping up at the right time. To take the responsibility and knowing what to do in different situations. We thrive in supporting each other and it has been great to see that.
(On Harshit Rana's injury) I also don't know. On the field, he was holding his shoulder. I have been there so I know what it feels like.
Vaibhav was brilliant. Although he went for fours in the first over, he bounced back brilliantly and took important wickets.
You always got to be down to earth in such tournaments."
