Sharma: “We were probably 10-15 runs short but still should have done more with the ball. We did not execute our plans well, but there is still time, I hope the team can come out and do better next time. I am pleased with my knock but ending on a losing side does not feel nice. We can learn from this result and we will figure out what we can do better next time.”

Gambhir: “Credit needs to go to the entire unit. It was a tough chase and the way we chased showed we were the deserving winners. The way Morne bowled was exceptional, and the way Sunil came back shows he has a lot of mental strength. I am happy to start the tournament on a high but it only matters how many points the team gets.”

KKR vs MI Man of the match ipl 8 2015
Morne Morkel : I think with the new ball there was a little bit of swing. The rhythm helped and we did well with the ball. It is fantastic to come here and play in front of this crowd. It’s great to start off with a win. It does lift me and sometimes I have to catch my breath circling around my mark (talking about the Eden Gardens crowd cheering them on). Definitely, the crowd gives us the extra edge and the extra energy. As a bowling unit, it was good to bowl first. Our first outing as a group was great. We expected the wicket to turn a little bit more, but the way we played in the tricky bit of conditions summed up our night.’
Morne Morkel man of the match for his bowling figures of 4-1-18-2.
