Ajinkya Rahane (Mumbai Captain)- "Really happy for our boys. Credit goes to Shardul. Getting a hundred taking the chances and then, we wanted to have a guy who would take the chances and he did that for us. I want to mention the contribution of Tanush Kotian. The culture in the dressing room is to give our cricketers the freedom to play their natural game. We give the required assistance to every guy, specially who is not doing well. Having the correct attitude on the field throughout each day of a first class game is very important. You have to give 100% of your ability to win the game be it any level of the game. We are taking every game as just like another game, nothing much regarding the final. You will not get every game perfectly but the intent us required. To reach the final, you have to play consistently good cricket. We have two more days before we start our preparations for the final."
Shardul Thakur (Player of the Match): "Yes, of course happy about my 100. Have been scoring cameos of 70s and 80s and now a well deserved 100 for me. It has been extremely tough journey. It's been 12 years. I was fat and now leaners and fitter. Living in the present and not thinking about the past. I think you have to stay remain patient and attack with the new ball. It was my day and whatever I tried fell in my place. Yes, of course, the celebration was for all people who have done so much for Mumbai. Yes, a lot of hard work goes on. We always like to give our best for Mumbai whenever we play and kudos to us. The final is still 5 days away and we will give our best in the finals I am sure. The schedule is tough and we need more rest between games especially in the knockout games. Too less days for us. Before, there used to be more days rest but now it's hardly any. So, this needs to be relooked at."
Player of the Match: Shardul Thakur.
Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore (Tamil Nadu Captain)- "I am a very instinctive guy and at that moment, I thought of batting first. Yes, a lot of people think that bowling second would have been good, I think after getting bundled out for 146, we came back well to reduce them to 106 for 7 but all the appreciation goes to Shardul and Tanush. Yes, we failed in the second innings. Our players are good, the dressing room environment was really good. Some days, things doesn't fall in places. That's it. Until we are the champion, we consider the season as failure. We will try to come back working relentlessly."
