Rohit Sharma(India Captain): "I don't think we bowled that well. I think we didn't take our chances properly as well. I think we batted brilliantly. It was a great game for us to understand where we were wrong and what more we can do.
There was something (dew) there, we know that whenever we come to Mohali, it's a high-scoring ground. We knew that we needed to take wickets regularly, but I think they played really well, and played some fascinating shots as well.
If I would be in the changing room, I would be thinking to get that score as well. I think Australia would be hoping that as well. I mean, that one wicket between Wade and Tim David was an important one. If we had taken wicket there, we could have been in good position.
Yeah, I think we got a good score on the board. I think Hardik did very well as well. No matter how good a surface is, getting a good total is always impressive. I feel we need to work on our bowling more."

Aaron Finch (Australia Captain): "Not sure about that, haha. That was a great chase. It was a good contest between bat and ball. In the end, we did manage to get past the total. Ofcourse after losing a couple of early wickets, the pressure is on. But, our batters showed good intent. They scored runs and stitched together good partnerships. Going into the World Cups, all these positives help us a lot. I am happy with the overall performance."
There is a slight drizzle now at Mohali!

Cameron Green (Player of the Match): "Yeah, was finding it a bit of difficult initially. Being with Finchy, at the start, he helped me well to get set. Hardik played well, I think, it was a pleasure to watch him bat. Not sure about opening the innings. I'll leave it up to the coaches to think about it."
Australia held their nerves in the end and have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. They win the match by 4 wickets and 4 balls to spare. This was India's highest score against Australia in T20I and the second-highest chase ever for Australia.
