Dravid: I think we had them on the mat, left it too late, Morkel bowled an excellent over and this will hurt for sure.

I am proud of my team, there are not too many big players but they are fighting hard.

They would have gained a lot from winning the game. We need to pick up our game and play Delhi again. Credit to how Rahane batted, he was in the Indian team and he is out and will look to score tons and tons of runs.

Sehwag: Bowlers did an excellent job, Morkel did really well, I asked him to be free and bowl with freedom. I also thought we were losing this when they needed 14 off two but superb bowling from the duo.

Sehwag, who is also the man of the match: I think I am loving this format, trying to bat through the first half of the innings and then take it on.
