Siva: "Nice to see once dangerous Indian chaps Sehwag and Yuvraj turned out to be the leading scores for their teams."

Virat Kohli: "When you lose momentum in this format, it is difficult to come back. In these two matches, we have tried different things, they haven't come off. I've told Chahal and Aaron to keep attacking all the time."

Rishi Dhawan: "We have a good team, the confidence is high. The wicket was helpful today, Sandeep Sharma gave us a good start today, I focussed on the basics. My confidence increases by playing with seniors like Sehwag, I'm learning several things from it."

Abhi: "I agree with some suggestions here. Though KXIP is on a great winning streak, its time for them to try out their bench strength. This will keep the squad up, in case of any later injury in their playing XI. I am sure this will not be perceived as pressing the panic button, but a sensible decision of testing the team strength."

Presentation ceremony:

Chris Gayle is brilliant, he wins an award for most sixes, and from a line-up of people waiting to hand out prizes, he goes to the closest person and tries to take a trophy. Smiles all around as Gayle realises that's the Man of the Match award.

George Bailey: "Confidence is a really big thing, we are working well as a unit. Low totals can be tricky, but Viru in the middle you know you'll get the boundaries."

The Man of the Match is Sandeep Sharma: "I'm feeling lucky that I'm winning back-t-oback Man of the Match awards, I'm feeling awesome. I've seen Gayle playiing many times, hitting many other bowlers, it was an awesome moment (to get him bowled)."

Thanks everyone for joining in today, on behalf of Karthik Krishnaswamy and the rest of the Cricinfo gang, this is Siddarth Ravindran signing out. G'night!

Juvenal: "I think Punjab should bring Mandeep Singh for Saha & Gurkeerat Singh for Pujara...Mandeep can open the batting with Sehwag & Gurkeerat Singh at one down will make a formidable batting order.... "

Peeyush: "Smart Cricket. Rather getting carried away by the glory of 20-20 cricket's bashing game they are just keeping the scorecard ticking. Brilliant."

Varun Aaron is back on the field, and is set to bowl now.

Karthik: "Ridiculous for Bailey to come in at 6. Completely wasted. And they retained Manan Vohra to warm the bench? Mandeep Singh and Gurkeerat Singh were superb for Punjab last season, yet they can't get a game?! Pujara is a like a rabbit in headlights in this format." Team is winning every game this season, and still so many complaints?

Gagan: "Thanks to IPL for providing opportunities for Indian players like Rishi Dhawan as he may have never got the exposure while playing for small states like Himachal. Really good player, would like to see him in Indian cricket team"
