KL Rahul the skipper of Lucknow is the Player of the Match. He says that he tries to stay in the moment and he tries to play the situation, and he does what the team wants him to do, fingers crossed that he continues his good form. Adds that the first thought he had was to just get bat on ball and get off the mark, he wanted to just get the single away, then he was lucky to on till the end. Mentions that he tries to assess the pitch and the conditions before and he does only what the situation asks him to do he was just trying to do the best of his ability. Says that the teams that can defend well, or do well in the Powerplay, or bowl well at the death have done well in the tournament and he likes having all-rounders in the team, says that he has options in the middle and it gives them the depth.
Krunal Pandya is down for a chat. He feels great as it was a collective effort from the team with the perfect plan. Adds that Rahul's knock was a terrific one and the pitch was stopping a bit and he tried to bowl slower balls and varied the pace. Adds that the bowlers executed the plan really well and this will boost the confidence. On Kieron Pollard's wicket, he thanked God that he took his wicket as Pollard would have been chirping every day that he took his wicket. Mentions that the agenda is to win the game and improve and trust the process.
Rohit Sharma the skipper of Mumbai, says it was a good pitch to bat on and it should have been chased down but Lucknow defended well. Adds that they should have had a string of partnerships but some irresponsible shot, including his, has held them down. Tells that they haven't batted well enough and the middle order needs to take responsibility as well, someone should anchor the innings and play the longer innings and that is hurting them. On Tim David, he says that it has been discussed but there are a lot of players and they try to give enough games to the players and settle the XI. They are trying not to make many changes, there are discussions anyways but he feels that whoever plays needs enough time to settle in.
After a lone fight in the first innings from KL Rahul, it's been a relatively collective bowling performance from Lucknow. They were disciplined with their bowling and were rewarded well for the same. They might have not grabbed early wickets but they did well to pick up wickets in a cluster post the Powerplay which put Mumbai under immense pressure. All the bowlers got a wicket at least. Except, Dushmantha Chameera, but he was excellent he gave away just 14 runs in his spell of 4 overs. Krunal Pandya was the leader of the pack he picked up 3 wickets in his spell. A clinical show from Lucknow at the end they were calm, composed, and have got over the line with ease.
Will have to make up for all the over rates and fines I'm getting (with his Player of the Match awards). Trying to play according to the situation, see what's expected out of me. Enjoying batting, enjoying the responsibility. Fingers crossed I can keep doing the right things. First thought was just get bat on ball, feel good, get that single. When you've played in a venue that's been good to me previously, but not so much in the last two games, just wanted to get that single first. Lucky that I could score as much as I did. I try to assess the pitch and conditions and see what's best I could do for the team. With this team, we do bat deep. Holder is batting at eight. With the depth, you can play a bit more freely. That's probably the only reason (for his higher strike rate). Teams that can defend well, or bowl well in the powerplay and finish off well in the death overs are teams that have won the tournament. We were very clear going into the auctions - I'm big on having allrounders in the team. Having them in the team makes my life easier with the options.

A convincing victory for Lucknow at the end! After losing their previous game, they are back on the winning track. With this victory, Lucknow have grabbed a total of 10 points and they have moved into the top four. While the drought in Mumbai's camp continues, eight in eight for them now.
Mumbai got off to a decent start with Rohit Sharma striking the ball well, while Ishan Kishan was struggling to get going. It was good for them till the Powerplay. In the next 6 overs, they lost four wickets which took the momentum away from them completely. Tilak Varma once again played a crucial knock and gave them a slight ray of hope but he too perished. There were no partnerships in this innings from Mumbai which was the issue for them. It's the same issue for Mumbai that goes on. They did bowl well today, but their batting once again has been disappointing.
Feels really good, a hard-fought effort in the bowling department, the planning was there and the execution was also there. It was a terrific knock, leading from the front and got us to a respectable total, so all credit goes to him (KL Rahul). I had no idea about how the wicket was going, when we batted KL was mentioning that the wicket was stopping a bit so we tried to bowl slower and ball that hard length for the new batters. Really happy for Chameera and for us it is important to get better as individuals and as a team. Mohsin is a bright prospect, he has pace and variations and for him a first game like this will boost his confidence. I was so thankful that I got his (Pollard) wicket otherwise he would have eaten my brain throughout my life because he got me out and now that it's 1-1 at least he will speak less. Honesty is important in a team and these guys (coaching staff) are doing pretty well and ensuring everyone is getting better. For me, process is important and we want to accept our mistakes and learn from them.
LSG spinner Krunal Pandya (4-0-19-3)
I thought we bowled pretty okay. It wasn't easy. It was a good pitch to bat on. I thought that score should have been chased down, but we didn't bat well enough. When you have a target like that, it is important to string partnerships. But some irresponsible shots in the middle, including mine. We didn't get the momentum. They bowled really well. We haven't batted well enough in this tournament. Whoever plays in the middle needs to take that responsibility and go on to play long innings. Some of the opposition players have done that and that is what is hurting us. One guy needs to ensure that he bats as long as possible. Everyone has come into discussion given how our tournament has gone. We need to ensure that we have a settled team and give players in the middle a fair chance. Their roles are different when they play for their countries and here we expect something else from them. We tried not to make too many changes, and we have tried to play the best combination possible. But when you lose games, you always have such discussions. As far as I am concerned, I want to give people enough chances to prove themselves. The season hasn't gone the way we would have wanted it to, but such things happen.
