Hardik Pandya on his PERSONAL FORM:
“I wanted to show what I have worked hard for, and today was the day from my bowling point of view, I saved the best for the best. I think the second ball of my spell that I bowled, after getting Sanju out, I saw that if you hit the wicket hard and if you bowl in on the seam, something is going to happen.
So, for me it was all about sticking to the right lengths and asking the batters to play a good shot rather than me trying something and giving a boundary.
On how along with coach Ashish Nehra he created a winning unit? Did the talk against him before IPL bothered him?
“Outside noise does not bother me, and if I have to sacrifice and have a worse season and my team still wins, I’ll take that.
“Me and Ashu pa [Ashish Nehra] are similar in terms of wanting to play five proper bowlers, who can win you matches all day… Most of the time, I have seen in T20 cricket, it’s a batters’ game but bowlers win you games.”

How was it to bat at No. 4? Will he continue to do so?
“I’ve always fancied myself as a batter. Batting comes first to me, it’s always going to be close to my heart, so, obviously when we got the auction done, it was clear that I had to bat up the order.
I thought that it’s the best position for me to bat, so that all the other batsmen can come and express themselves”.

It has been a collective effort, everyone’s stuck their hand up in key moments. One of the best rides I’ve ever had. It has been a relaxed environment led by Ashish Nehra and Hardik.
Hardik has gotten better and better as the season has gone on. He’s tactically been really good, led with both bat and ball.”
Rashid Khan (19 wickets at 22.15): “It’s the biggest achievement of your career as a player being part of a winning IPL team. It’s one of the most big achievements for me in my cricket career.

Gary Kirsten, batting coach and mentor was effusive in his praise of captain:
“Hardik has been fantastic. He’s a high profile guy in India, but he’s been incredibly humble. Wants to learn as a leader. Especially in IPL and in India, he wants to help youngsters. He’s come in with real responsibility, very different to seeing him in other IPLs”
