Gurkeerat Singh Mann ( Toyam Hyderabad Captain) - "I don't think anybody was under pressure when we lost 2 matches. One thing I can say for sure, I have got the best bowling options in this tournament. I think Nikhil (Chopra) bhai has scouted a really good talent(on Shivakant Shukla). Monty bhai and Bipul are brilliant as well. I think we are an amazing team."
Legend of the Match - Shivakant Shukla
Ben Dunk(India Capitals Captain)- "We got off to a good start but we couldn't carry it forward. We did get a good start with the ball but the opposition completely outplayed us. They assessed the conditions very well and it has been tough at the back end of the tournament. I will give them the credit. They're picking up at the right time. As a older and retired player it's great to play in front of such incredible fans. "
