IPL 2021, 15th Match: Roll out for Thalaiva

Dhoni: The captain of the winning team!

I think it’s easy [for me] in a game like this because from the 15th and the 16th the race took place between the fast bowler and the batsman (laughs). You fight me. The country that wins is probably the country that makes it better. If the 20 overs have been completed, it will be closer.

Faf du Plessis, Player of the Match: 

It’s the freest thing I’ve ever felt. I felt that it got better in the previous games and today I feel better technically. It’s just the rhythm of the flow of the hand. We feel the ball come to rest on the pitch. Jadeja for us and other freaks were also arrested [in Wankhede] so the tailors could catch up.
