Winning the match, Shubman Gill who had a decent day with the bat shared a few words in the post-match presentation about the game. "Kolkata has always been nice to me, fortunately, it was one of those nights where we were on the winning side, happy we are in the finals.

After Saha got out, we got off to a good start in the powerplay, batting in the Eden Gardens is always fun. We expected the surface to be a better, but the ball was holding a bit and spinners were getting a bit of grip on this wicket," Shubman Gill was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

"It’s a new team but the way the support staff and players have come together has been tremendous to watch, we are all really enjoying our cricket.

There hasn’t been any added pressure on me, I was picked (in the draft) because I have done well for my earlier franchises, I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I just had to contribute to my team and play well for them. It was nice to watch (from the sidelines), a semi-final and your teammates are doing the job, it was amazing," said Shubman Gill.
