Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans Captain): [on the finish] "All the 3 games we have played have gone till the last over. Very pleased to get over the line on this one.
[on Miller's knock] I still believed we could win. We were discussing whether to go for the yorker or the slower one. We thought a good slower one would be difficult to hit for a boundary.
[on fielding] Apart from my overthrows, those 5-6 runs made a difference. Every effort and every misfield or every good effort counts in such games.
[on his and partnership with Sundar] 210 was 10-15 runs above par. It wasn't easy to get the big boundaries with the slowness of the wicket. We knew if we bowled well, we could get over the line.
[on his own batting after the neck injury] Need to sleep and see how I come out tomorrow."

Player of the Match: Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan (Player of the Match): "(On his own performance) Quite happy how things are coming. Pretty happy with the win. It made it special. I have felt great since the last 7-8 months. I had a good break, the body is feeling great. I am trying to land the ball in the right areas consistently and spin it both ways
(On Rizvi's wicket) After long, I got such a wicket. As a leg spinner, you want such a wicket, where you beat the batter with a wrong 'un. So happy without it.
(On getting Axar Patel out from around the wicket) I had that in mind. Yesterday, when I was practicing, that I would try to bowl a couple of balls from around the wicket to him. I was going to take my chance. If he hits me on for a boundary he does. But the important thing was to pitch it in the right area.
(His emotions when it got tensed towards the end) We have been part of such close games for the last 3-4 years, but it was important to focus on each and every delivery at that time. It was about giving your 100% on every delivery and making it hard to hit for the batter."

The most exciting game of the season so far with Gujarat Titans getting over the line by the barest of margins on the very final ball of the match. Brilliant contributions from the batters - Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar with Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada and Prasidh Krishna executing the plans with the ball.
