Nicholas Pooran (POTM & MI Emirates Captain): "It is the nature of the game. I have been playing this format for a very long time. I had to get the job done and be there till the very end.
The key is to trust yourself. You need to absorb pressure. This win is for Polly (Pollard). We are starting to find our groove. We are moving in the right direction.
Our group has been challenged time and time again. We are trying to execute the plan to the best of our abilities. The guys have been very supportive of me. This has to be one of my favorite playing grounds to play on."
