Match Preview–
Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets the purple cap.
Gautam Gambhir: “Obviously 160 was chaseable. We should have chased that with an extra batter. We did not have a significant partnership, but no one played a cameo like Yuvi. Colin Munro’s run out was the turning point. Russell has been a massive loss. Bowlers did well, but the batters did not stand up. We were confident entering into this game.”
Warner: “We fielded well and that’s what we set out to do. If you can field well, you will defend those close games. Bipul Sharma’s sixes off Morne Morkel came in handy. Runs on the board is always important in Finals. The way the bowlers bowled was fantastic. We took some spectacular catches in the outfield. Both us and Gujarat have strike power and it’s going to be a great contest. I’m ecstatic as a captain. It’s all about executing our plans.”
