So that marks the end of our coverage from the first qualifier of this year's TNPL. Lyca Kovai Kings have advanced to the summit clash. For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee and our scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. Good night.
Shahrukh Khan (Lyca Kovai Kings Captain): "To be honest, nothing. Sai had to set it up and Mukilesh played well and gave him support. Phenomenal innings from Sai today. There wasn't anything as such. I personally felt and believed in the process. We stopped the singles and as a bowling unit we bowled decently. The way they bowled was good. I have nothing to say on Sai. Unbelievable innings. Wicket was tough and the bowling was tough. To score a 100 on this track against them and the way he finished was great to see. Happy to see him do well. He was due for runs and came good today. Happy for the result and everyone loves playing this brand of cricket. Happy to be in the finals and now rest and look forward to the big one on Sunday."
Sai Sudharsan(Player of the Match): "I am definitely happy to contribute for the team's victory. The game was competitive and difficulty was there but we decided to stick to our basic plans. We tried to score as per the required rate.
In the last five-six overs, you need to maximize and I had that plan. The outfield is fantastic and I want to thank the crowd for the lovely support. Mukilesh's innings was crucial."
