Mukesh Kumar (POTM & Captain Malda Smashers)- "I enjoyed bowling today. Confidence level was high and it helped me perform well. We wanted to keep them below 140. Every bowler did their job very well. After being hit for the first boundary, I continued with my plan and it immediately resulted in a wicket. Even after losing two quick wickets in the first over, we didn’t panic as we have a good batting line up."

Abishek Porel (Kolkata Royal Tigers Captain): "Yes, we lost a lot of wickets. Middle order should have taken more responsibility but that's how the game goes. I should have taken more responsibility and gone through but threw it away there. So, disappointed with that. Thanks to CAB for this tournament. Enjoyed the captaincy and enjoyed it. Lots to learn for the players and teams going forward. Happy with the overall effort."
