"The target of 199 was achievable on this wicket. We thought that we had to stop Gujarat under 200 and we were successful too. There is no complaint with the bowlers, but we need to improve in batting. Especially there is a need to score runs in the middle overs. Fielding is also an aspect where we can improve. This format demands courage from you. I believe that we need to play bold game as a team and batting unit. I am sure that the batsmen are also thinking so. Angkrish batted well."
