Madhav Kaushik (Noida Kings Captain): "(Conversation in the dug out after losing seven wickets) The conversation was that the probability was slightly in their favour, but obviously, we still had our last batting pair, and we bat quite deep. So, we had the belief that if these two could build a partnership and take the run rate towards around 10 an over towards the end, our chances would increase. And that's exactly what happened.
(On top order not firing) I think there were some reckless shots from the top order, while they also bowled well. Somewhere, the top-order batters needed to take more responsibility and assess the wicket better. A game like this shouldn't really happen, but then again, it's cricket—you can't predict or judge anything.
(On the team's bowling performance) Of course. I'm absolutely thrilled with the way my bowlers performed. They did a commendable job restricting them to 135. I think our bowlers also extracted something extra from the wicket and used the conditions really well.
(On improvements needed) There are still a few areas where we were lacking, particularly in the slog overs, and we'll work on those. Hopefully, we'll continue to improve and perform even better."

Kartik Siddhu (POTM): "(Had he given up after losing seven wickets) The conditions were helping the bowlers a little bit, but we knew that if we played until the end, we'd have a chance somewhere along the way. And that's exactly what happened in the match.
(Any message from dugout during knock) The support staff kept explaining things to us. Sir was also telling us what to do and sending plans through the 15th man or 12th man. It was good that everything worked out. I'd also like to thank our support staff and the coach for explaining everything to me so well.
(On his batting plan) The only plan was to hit the bad balls and not try to hit every over too hard. That was it.
(On dedicating his POTM) Sir, I'd like to dedicate it to my mother."

Another brilliant low-scoring thriller witnessed at UP T20 2026. Noida Kings clinched a victory in the final over and won by three wickets. Brilliant display of batting by Kartik Siddhu and Bobby Yadav. A big heartbreak for Kanpur Superstars as they had their grip on the match for the most part.
