Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "A little bit of relief. The way the game was going, we felt 160 was good, but the way they bowled, it was good that the game went down to the wire.
We have been playing with an extra batter who can bowl a bit for the last few series. That batter gives us two or three overs with the ball as well.
The chat was to play like the last game. It's good to see we are playing an aggressive brand of cricket; at the same time, guys put their hands up and stitched the small partnerships.
I was sitting inside, a little bit superstitious. All these things are part of the game, you learn, and you move on.
I am very happy with the way Tilak batted; something to learn for everyone. It's good to see someone take responsibility. He (Bishnoi) will be on my head for a few more days now (chuckles). Ravi Bishnoi is putting hard work in the nets; he wants to contribute with the bat. He did that tonight. Arshdeep also batted well.
The boys have taken a lot of pressure off me, so I can go out and express myself. The atmosphere in the dressing room is light. There will be days it won't come off, but we know what we want to do. If we are on the same page, good things will take place."

Tilak Varma (Player of the Match): "First of all, the wicket was slightly two-paced and wickets were falling one after the other so actually I was talking with Gautam Sir yesterday and he said that whatever happens, played according to the situation. What the team needs do that. If you want 10 runs in an over, take the charge. Bat sensibly is what he said.
Yes yes sir. LHB-RHB has been the discussion for us. We wanted to continue with that and the bowlers will also face trouble with their lines and lengths.
Yeah if you see, we have already played in South Africa and the wicket was more quicker that this. You know Archer and Wood bowl really quick. Guys were well prepared and we were ready for it.
(On the Partnership with Ravi Bishnoi) You know actually, I told Ravi that just hold the shape and play it through the line. You know he played one flick shot and one shot against Livingstone. Those two boundaries made the chase easier."
