Dinda: " I am very happy tonight. I bowled it in the right areas and got a little bit of swing going. We have been trying really hard and it's good to win. Dada is fantastic."

Wasim Akram: "I am very proud of the boys. You have to keep on fighting till the very end in the tournament. It's not me, the boys have turned it around. Mahela played an exceptional innings the other day. I have been hammered too everywhere on flat tracks. Dinda started well. He runs in hard from the first ball and gives 100%. Ajit bowled well, Matthews was slightly off today but the spinners did really well. We planned not to give room to Warner and not bowl short. Dinda put lot of pressure on him in the first four deliveries."

Gambhir: "We should have finished the game but this is what this format is all about. You tend to panic and lose. KKR did really well. I think i need to run well! That was the turning point. Once the opposition gets 180, whatever the wicket is, it 's always going to be difficult. All credit to Kolkata. 31 balls 47 runs ,,. anyone would have backed us to win but this is how this format is. We lost wickets and we lost the game."

Man of the match is Ganguly: "It was good to win. It was difficult to leave out Bond. I wasn't sure Bond or Mendis till we reached the ground. It was a dry track and Mendis did well. Isbal Abdulla did really well. Everytime he gets an opportunity the young boy does well. When Sehwag was batting, any target is acheiveable. When he gets out .. I felt we can do this. Everyone thinks they know how to bowl to Sehwag but he keeps pumping them into the stands! He is a champion batsman. Both Sehwag and Gambhir are really fine players .. "

That's it from us. Good bye and good luck.
