Winning the match, Shikhar Dhawan was named the Man of the Match for his prolific unbeaten 88 runs knock. "The process, I always talk about it, I focus on it. About my fitness, my approach - I keep working on those skills. Results will take care of itself.

The wicket was stopping a bit, I tried to go for the big shots, but I couldn't connect. But I kept my calm," Shikhar Dhawan was quoted as same as in Cricbuzz.

"Once I get set, I can get those boundaries, that's what I bank on. While batting first it's about putting pressure on the bowlers and getting boundaries. We don't have to lose too many wickets, that was our conscious effort," said Shikhar Dhawan.

"I have become a senior in the team (laughs), I give a lot of input to the players and my captain, on the field. The youngsters think a lot, sometimes they overthink, so I try to communicate with them. I talk about the law of attraction and how to achieve big in life," he added.

However, during the chase, Rishi Dhawan celebrated his wicket, as he picked up his first wicket after a 6 years gap in the Indian Premier League.
