Sachin Tendulkar (India Masters Captain): "It is a good habit to have. Good start I would say, it was a combined effort from the team - we bowled well, we batted well and we fielded well.
When the crowd is as loud as it was, it gets difficult to keep the fielders' sight on me, but I was continuously asking them to watch me. It's fine as everyone here to enjoy themselves. The package was great as the crowd was very loud.
It feels nice as it feels like an international game, and the tournament gets even more intense as it goes on.
The only thing I would say about him (Gurkeerat Singh) is that the sound coming from his bat was sweet. I was just asking to time the ball, and when you're able to do it, it becomes the best sport to play. I enjoyed the sound coming from his bat."

Pawan Negi (Player of the Match)- “The aim was very simple to give our hundred percent in the match. Sachin Tendulkar always advises us to always give our best in every match. In fact, we performed well in the match, both with the ball and the bat which helped us win the match.”

Time for post-match presentation!
Eoin Morgan (England Captain): "Here, we got completely outplayed. Congratulations to Team India. They set the right tempo and intensity. They did nothing wrong. They kept the pressure us by bowling on the right lines and lengths. We couldn't shake them off, and honestly, it was a low total to defend. We were always under the pump after posting that low total. But we will look to get better and better as this tournament progresses.
It was something that we spoke about when this tournament was announced, and Sachin actually spoke about engaging with the newer generation of players to legends like Brian Lara and himself.
Hopefully, this will continue with this tournament. Approach-wise, you need to get as aggressive as you can get in T20s.
As the tournament progresses, we will get better and better, but I can't promise anything as the guys haven't played for a long time."
