Anshul Kamboj (Player of the series): "A very good experience playing the Duleep Trophy. I wanted bowl according to the pitch, bowl in the good areas and pick up wickets for my team. It was important to bowl in good areas. Of course, there was a bit pressure batting in the end as that was the last wicket. Thank you."

Mayank Agarwal (India A Captain): "(Chuckles) At tea, it wasn't looking bright for us. It looked dim. We had one thing in mind: fighting half an hour after tea. Eventually, we did well to win it.
(Thoughts about declaration) We had a certain number of overs in mind, and we wanted to bat a bit. Our bowlers told me one thing: Mayank, we need 80 overs and not more than that. Hence we declared after a couple of wickets. If we can't get them out in 80 overs, we can't get them in 100.
We fought really hard. I have to repeat what I told in the previous match. Losing the toss and being put into bat in those tough conditions was challenging. We were struggling. Credit to Shashwat, Shams Mulani, Avesh Khan and Prasidh Krishna. They got us to 290 odd. To get there from the situation we were in was brilliant.
Happy with the way we fought and got the game done. A fantastic achievement."
