Pradosh Ranjan Paul (Player of the Match): (On his role in pressure situations) "My job is quite simple, sir. They have given me a role to be the bridge between the top order and the lower order. So, my job is to be there and finish the game. That is the role I have been given, so I'm grateful that I could finish it today.
(On the conversation with Ganesh after the quick wickets) The conversation was quite simple - take the game as deep as possible, because we knew as the balls and the runs get lower, even they will panic. So, the plan was quite simple, to take it deep.
(On whether this suits his natural multi-format game) To be very honest, I've been learning. I've been trying to work on my white-ball game. So, not thinking too much ahead. As you said, there's a lot of work to be done to be a three-format player. So, right now I'm just focusing on the present. I'm just trying to finish games for my team."

Tushar Raheja (iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Captain): [on the game] "Very thankful the way the match ended. Good to start the captaincy with a win.
[on taking down the spinners] It was general gameplay about how we want to maximize the powerplay whether it's a spinner or a seamer. I was just looking to maximize the powerplay as much as I could.
[on change in personnel and venue] We had a couple of forced changes so not too much we could change. But tactically, the conditions and ground dimensions here are different. We had to maximize and see what lengths we could bowl here. Slower ones are not holding as much as compared to other venues. We are trying to work on that."

A fantastic performance with both bat and ball from the iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans as they seal a 4-wicket win over the Madurai Panthers.
