"Starting from game one, we've been in the mindset of wanting to win despite the situation" - Shreyas Iyer
At the post-game presentation, Iyer credited the support staff for managing players well throughout the tournament and the players for stepping up whenever they have found themselves in a tricky situation. The right-hander elaborated:
"Every individual stepped up at the right time. Starting from game one, we've been in the mindset of wanting to win despite the situation. We've had players putting their hands up when we were in the dumps. Kudos to support staff and management too. Ricky has been fantastic with player management, it's important for me to get trust too. That happened with the wins early on. Had conversations with them too. You have to maintain good relationships throughout. I feel the dressing room has been top notch throughout."
Punjab Kings will face the Gujarat Titans or Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1. Mumbai Indians, who will have to play the Eliminator, face a tough road to the final and have never won the IPL by being at this stage.
