Varun Chakaravarthy(Player oftheMatch): "Definitely, it was holding a bit and helped me to do well. No, nothing like that. The catch was dropped that was a better ball while the catch that was taken that could have gone anywhere.
My favourite wicket was Tristan Stubbs' wicket. Want to bowl leg spin and stick to basics.
We are silent all the time. When something goes wrong they help us a lot. Sunil and the whole management as well. Shahrukh Khan and the entire management came and spoke to me personally.
Yes, the cheerleaders dance a lot and maybe they should dance only for sixes as this tournament has become more 4s and 6s. Yes, let's hope for the best."
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Varun Chakaravarthy
Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): "Not at all. The last few matches it played, I thought 200 was a par score. Then the ball became tacky after the powerplay and holding up. Good that we were bowling first and that helped us to do well and bat properly.
We don't say anything and Salt and Narine have been tremendous as they put their heart and soul into the work. Sunil does not attend batting meetings and good that he does not.
Varun bowled well and came back after having some off games out there. Yes, we are thinking of qualification and we have started well and want to reach there before the last few matches."
