'Was a great win': Rohit Sharma

"Was a great win. We didn't start really well, but we always knew with kind of attack Punjab h we wanted to capitalise. Those two guys y back mselves to get runs, it's nice to have m in form as well. It wasn't going to be easy with ball against Punjab's batting line-up. We knew we h to get early wickets and everything went to plan, credit to bowlers. In last game, execution wasn't exactly right at death with ball. So we discussed and wanted to improve. I haven't played eugh with Boult and Pattinson, so it's difficult to get m on same p. y have w got an idea of what I need from m and I have got to kw m better too. Feels nice to get runs, but two points matter more", said Sharma during post-match interview.

Meanwhile, a gutted Punjab skipper KL Rahul went on to say that his team could have easily registered three wins under ir belt.

"Obviously disappointing. Looking back, we could've been three wins out of four. This game, we me some mistakes. Important we come back stronger. Wicket looked good with new ball. Don't kw if it slowed up after that. Ar bowling option would be nice - an all-rounder option who can bat and bowl well. Will be sitting with coaches to decide if we want to play an extra bowler," he ded. KL Rahul also praised Mayank Agarwal's game.

Kieron Pollard who was judged Man of Match award for his blistering batting performance said that he was happy after his team ended up on winning side on this occasion.

"Feels good. We were on losing side last game, so we want to come out on right side today. It's about what's re in front of you. Look at bowlers and see how many you want to get, 15 off over and n you try to go hard. Today Hardik h to come and swing and he showed his prowess. We kw sky is limit in last 4 overs. Yes, Sharjah boundaries are small but we got to hit m right and execute really well with ball too. We can bask in glory for w but we have an important game coming up in a couple of days time", Caribbean power-hitter said.
