What did the captains say:

Winning Captain, Jasprit Bumrah (Mumbai Indians):

Yeah, one from one (smiles). Both teams played good cricket and we really pulled back well. Little bit, but the wicket in this game looked a little bit drier than the previous one. Maybe it wasn't as cold as it was in the last game. Whatever we saw in the previous game and reading this game, holding your length was key. That was the plan and credit to all bowlers and they kept their nerve as well. I think Tilak's knock and the way Shardul bowled, both deserve equal credit. Tilak kept his shape, Jacks also contributed. I have captained a Test match, I have captained T20s and now the only game left is ODI cricket, but I don't see that happening. Jokes apart, very happy. Had good fun, good weather, great ground so enjoyed my time.

Losing Captain, Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings):

(On the loss tonight) Well, absolutely a tough pill to swallow, but I don't want to pinpoint at any situation over here because it was a great game of cricket. Well fought game. He (Tilak) played amazing, he was selecting his shots pretty well, and he maneuvered the field nicely, so credit to him. (On Azmat) Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us. Getting those scoops of sixes, and from 16th or 17th over, from there on, we gained the momentum and getting to 200 was a commendable performance for him. (Taking on RCB in a day game?) Definitely excited for the next opportunity. It's an afternoon game, and we've got to win two out of two. It's going to be an exciting two games. Can't wait to play them.
