The Kochi Blue Tigers celebrate behind the Champions board. We can see all kinds of dance steps from all the players and why not! They have thoroughly deserved this with the clinical nature they have shown all through. It was a great tournament, and every great thing must come to an end. It ends with the Kochi Blue Tigers announced Champions and with the KCA reaching newer heights!

Saly Samson (Kochi Blue Tigers Captain): First of all, I would like to thank KCA and the groundmen to conduct this tournament so beautifully. I thank my team to give me this opportunity as well. Thanks to the owner to give us such a brilliant team to work with. Just depends upon the situation, if I am required to bowl, I will. The match is alive until the last ball and that is what we believe. Everyone in the team has contributed brilliantly.

Sachin Baby (Aries Kollam Sailors Captain): In a match like the final if you give too many away you will lose. The way they were batting, our bowlers came back strong. They stole a few in the end and that cost us. KCL is getting bigger, and the teams are getting better. The next season will be tougher. Fantastic management and my entire team. Playing two finals in two years is not easy. Thanks to the team and the owners and the crowd that supported. Yes, I was unlucky in the way I got out.
