Shardul Thakur (Player of the Match): "[On expecting a late call to the IPL] Obviously no. But I was making my plans to play county cricket if I wasn't picked in the IPL but while we were playing Ranji Trophy I got a call from Mr Zaheer Khan saying that 'we are looking at you as a potential replacement, keep your plans ready. If you come in as a replacement, you will start.' That was the day when I got into IPL mindset again. Hopes came back. But otherwise I feel this is cricket and ups and downs keep happening. It was one bad day in the auction where no one picked me. But cricket's not over, my hopes are high. The talent and skills are there. So it's just about staying in the moment and taking it from there.
[Bowling full early] Of course looking to swing and we have seen in the past that Travis Head and Abhishek love to take their chances so I said okay let me take some chances as well. Anyway they are scoring big totals every time they play here and majority of the time the runs are scored by top 3 and few runs in the middle by Klaasen also. New ball is something you can pick wickets with when it swings and I tried to do that tonight.
[On variations] Bowlers have got very little to do on this pitches. It should be prepared such a way that the game should hang in balance between batters and bowlers. After the impact rule coming in, it's not fair on the bowlers to see teams score 250/260/270 runs."

Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): "See definitely, big relief for us. We looked into the positives from the previous match. Happy with the performance tonight.
(On the Indian seamers being injured) See it was a big concern for us. We don't want to focus on the things which we can't control. My mentor said that focus on the things which you can control.
(On Nicholas Pooran batting at Number 3) Mostly it was like giving him the freedom to do the damage with the bat. I like that freedom too. We all know who dangerous he can be and that's good for us.
(On the environment) I think the preparation has been pretty good for us. Everyone is practicing really hard. We haven't played our best cricket so far but we are taking one match at a time. We will try to keep learning from each and every game."
