Sanju Samson during the post-match presentation said: “I think to be very honest it was a better wicket. 171 was chase-able on this wicket. I think we wanted to get a good start.

“Everyone came up with positive vibes, people were ready to go out there and win games for us. Being the skipper, I changed the way I look at my innings. It was always about thinking about the match situations. I would have loved to win more games despite scoring a lot of runs,” he said.
