I think one of the advantages of having all-rounders and it is a privilege to use them whenever I can. The fact that we have been able to groom the youngsters is pleasing. It has been an emotional journey for us with Nagarkoti for the last couple of years. But credit to the management to have stuck to him, Karthik said. Karthik, who got dismissed for a three-ball duck, said that he probably needs to get runs under his belt. One duck doesn't make you a bad player. I need to probably up my game and get a few runs, Karthik added. David Warner, the losing captain, credited the opposition for producing a good bowling performance.

The Kolkata boys showed us that if you can keep wickets at the end, that's what wins you games. I don't regret what I did at the beginning of the game and I stick by my decision, Warner said. Patty Cummins, as he does, (bowled) Test match line and length. There was a little bit of movement here and there. All in all, it got harder through the middle. We went four or five overs for 20 and coming back with three wickets in hand at the end probably killed us a little bit there, Warner added.
