Rohit Sharma is the Man of the Match

Mashrafe Mortaza: Obviously we could have got to 300-320. Once Kedar came in, he restricted us. We have some players who are youngsters who could not go through in the tournament. We ahve some experienced players as well who would come in strongly next time. We need to be mentally strong. Skillwise we are fine. Once, you are playing a game like this, you need to be mentally strong.
Virat Kohli: We had another complete game. When we won the toss, I expected another clean performance. With the ball, we never let them away. The two quick wickets got us the momentum. He has bowled in India as well. He is a smart guy. he knows where to pitch it. Had those guys carried on, we would have been chasing 300. I always try to give myself sometime. Today was an opportunity for me to play the way I can. Credit to Rohit. To Shikhar as well. Hopefully, they can give us another good start in the finals. The side that gets less excited and has more compusure will win the finals. We are very keen to get on the park for the final. It is never a worry when the guys in the middle order are not batting. Everybody is hitting the ball really well in the nets. One word for the crowd. They have been absoultely amazing in supporting us.
