Regarding Mumbai Indians’ score of 166 runs, Suryakumar Yadav said, “I think we fell short by 10-15 runs. Wrong wicket at the wrong time. But the way Naman and Tilak batted, I think it was very brilliant on this wicket, they showed a lot of determination. They were batting on a completely different pitch. We are very proud of them.”

On the catch mistake between Tilak and Naman Dheer, Surya said, “I think these are the things that you practice a lot in practice sessions with the fielding coach and Tilak responded again with that brilliant catch. It proved that he had to do something special, he did something special, but it is a part of the game. We will start afresh, work hard and come back and give our best.”

He said “We can just try to play this game because we love it. Like I said, try to do our best, play our best game whenever we get the chance. Although we are not used to being at the bottom of the table, it is difficult to digest, but at the same time, we learned a lot throughout the season. We can come back even stronger next year.”
