Player of the match Prabhasimran said
Ponting is a legend, they always talk positive things, this keeps the team’s atmosphere right. They always want to put the winning mindset in the team. He has asked to support our game. I was just thinking about finishing the match. I have practiced my shots a lot. Happy to connect those shots. If a young player needs a better start, then the IPL cannot be a better platform. It is here that India can also dream of playing for India.

5. Who said what?
Lucknow Supergiants captain Rishabh Pant said
The score was not big, we scored 20-25 runs, but all this happens in the game. It will take time to understand the pitch condition of the homeground. If the wickets fall in the beginning, it is difficult to make a big score. Nevertheless, every player is trying his best to take the game forward. We hoped that the pitch would be slow, the slow balls were more effective here, but the pitch was not so difficult for batting. We have to learn from this game and move forward.
Punjab’s Impact Player Nehal Wadhera said
Our bowlers bowled well. Shreyas Bhai and Prabhasimran did not allow the pressure to grow. I did not know that I would get a chance today, so I brought the same kit. I later came to know that I am going to play. I wanted to play my shots when I went to batting. Shreyas is doing excellent captaincy, he has allowed me to play openly. In the last 2 years, Mumbai gave me a lot of experience, I am using the same. Ricky Ponting is the best coach, I have never heard of negative words from his mouth. They always do positive things, their words increase confidence.
Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer said
We expected this beginning. The boys showed a good game. The things that happened in the team meeting worked on them. To be honest, there is no correct combination of playing-11. I think all teams have the power to go to the playoffs. I always want to enjoy the moment. Today’s match became an old thing for me, I want to focus on the next match now.
