Venkatesh Iyer (Player of the Match): "As a professional cricketer I wanted to be flexible. As I was hitting the ball well, I played the anchor's role and it turned out well.
This is the 4th or 5th time that Manish had padded up and finally he got to bat today. Its all due to the impact player rule. It was good to send someone like Manish to anchor the innings before Russell and Ramandeep.
I told it will take time to adjust to the wicket. We had the cushion of time. He was the one who was guiding me throughout. Which bowler to take on, which situation to take in. He is an experienced campaigner.
I have tried to be a smarter cricketer. If you are smart than you can make decisions. I could take on Piyush Chawla or any other seamer but I had to play according to the situation.
I am a huge fan of dada so I asked to ask him about my stance and position. I tried that in the nets and it has worked out for me. It was a fruitful conversation with him (Sourav Ganguly).

Venkatesh Iyer is the Player of the Match
Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): "Yeah, absolutely. Just having the conversation with Starcy about the importance of this game. If we had lost this, we had to win two out of four. Really happy to win it.
(On KKR beating MI at Wankhede after 12 years) Just got to know after the match. It's a beautiful victory for us. We would have loved to cherished it for longer but we have got a game in two days. So, have to focus on the recovery.
This impact rule has helped us in this game. Manish is a wonderful player and it was good to see him build a partnership along with Venky. All I had to say at the bowlers was that if we got here, we will be able to defend it.
The spinners were unreal. They were spot on with their lines and lengths. They executed all the plans that we had discussed during team meetings and it was brilliant.
(On Venkatesh Iyer's knock) Fantastic one. He is been eagerly waiting to go out there and show his abilities. Wonderful flow of the bat. He played beautifully and happy for him."
