Thanks for joining us today and good night from me and Chetan.

Shreyas Iyer, Mumbai Captain: [on spinner bowling the first over] We did similar thing against Vidarbha and he did really well. Atharva bowled tremendously in the first over. Conceded only 5-runs in the first over. Atharva and Shedge were fearless in their approach and right from ball one the way they executed was phenomenal to see ... youngsters coming up for the team. We didn't feel at any moment that the match was going away from us. One more thing, I would like to mention that we broke the jinx today, that whenever Chandu sir comes in front of Mumbai Cricket Association, we have lost. But this time we broke the jinx and we are happy for that

Ajinkya Rahane is the Player of the series: As a team we were really confident. We thought we bowled really well. We were confident of chasing 175 under the lights. We know the history of this ground. He (Suryansh Shedge) has been amazing for us. I saw him working hard the last 2-3 seasons and he is a confident guy. Backs himself and plays really well. He has played crucial knocks for us.

Suryansh Shedge is the Player of the match: As soon as I got into the squad, I knew I would play the finisher role. I spoke to a lot of seasoned players and they gave me a lot of insights. I have been practicing for the role ever since. [On the pressure when he goes out to bat]Me personally, I am a conservative person and being a Mumbaikar it's ingrained in you. Since a young age this is instilled in you. The joy you get in winning a match is beyond compare

Rajat Patidar, Madhya Pradesh captain:This is not the result we wanted. We were short by 20-25 runs. They were 4 to 5 players who were playing the tournament for the first time. The way they put their efforts makes me happy. I like playing here (Bangalore) because of the way they support me. Not only me, but many players

Still in awe of the nerveless display by Suryansh Shedge and Atharva Ankolekar. Am sure this partnership will be spoken of fondly in years to come in Mumbai. Spare a thought for Madhya Pradesh. They went toe-to-toe with Mumbai and came back strongly whenever they fell behind in the game. They looked to be in the ascendancy when they got the wicket of SKY. It was not to be as Suryansh Shedge and Atharva Ankolekar blitzed to the target

Back in early 2000's Wisden Asia cricket did a cover story on Best State XI's. This Mumbai T20 team would easily qualify to such accolades if such a story were to be published now.

The crowd were cheering for Madhya Pradesh as one of their boys, Rajat Patidar, was leading the Madhya Pradesh team. The players and the crowd look shell-shocked at the assault in the last 19-balls - Suryansh Shedge and Ankolekar put on a partnership of 51 runs. No wonder, Madhya Pradesh team seem to be in a state of shock
