Nitish Kumar Reddy (Player of the Match): "For me, it's a significant contribution to my team and myself, boosting my confidence in this game. I've been telling myself in the middle that I should believe in myself.
I need to put my team in a good position, so I have to stay there. I knew that the seamers were bowling really well, so I just wanted to hold back a bit. I prefer not to take them on. I anticipate the spinners coming, and I want to attack them, so that's what I did.
Throughout the tournament, they've been bowling slow bouncers, and it's proving to be effective. I've also been considering the dimensions. My aim is to keep performing well for my team."

Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain): "Yes. It was a great game of cricket. They played well at the start and we did well to get to 180 and did well with the ball. You feel you have a good depth in batting. Bhuvneshwar was exceptional with the new ball.
I thought 180 was really good. With 150, you are going to lose most of the times but really happy with 180. We knew the new ball was going to be key and 180 was a good total.
(On bowling with the new ball) It was about the conditions. I didn't think I would bowl with the new ball coming into the game but saw the new ball move and decided to bowl it.
We have plenty of left-armers and right-armers. You just try to bowl to the long boundary.
Nitish was awesome. Debuted last week. Came top of the order tonight and took us to 180. Bowled well and was good in the field and he was brilliant."
