Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
Mumbai notch up their seventh win of this IPL in comprehensive fashion. Deccan, hapless in their chase, slip to a fifth defeat which means they stay in seventh place. It was that stand between Rayudu and Tiwary that turned the tide in Mumbai's favour; the surge at the death got them to a competitive score, and the bowlers struck at frequent intervals to ensure Deccan came nowhere near. We'll get you the presentation details in a bit.
Gilchrist: "We dropped catches, Tiwary twice in an over and he hit a couple of sixes after that. Game-changing moments. As a batting group, we haven't produced. The total shouldn't have been that high in these conditions, and that plays on your mind when you're chasing and leads to some incorrect strokes. Mumbai are the benchmark in this competition, and we are a long way from matching them at the moment. Pragyan Ojha is bowling very well, it's nice to have Harris around the squad."
Tendulkar: "All credit to the players. The stand between Rayudu and Tiwary was most crucial, and later on some great hitting. They've done us proud and hope his continues till the finals. The ball was stopping a bit, and that's why Pollard bowled his full quota, he was fantastic. It's a great feeling to win seven games, and this is a game of uncertainties. We don't want to relax, we want to keep winning. It's been fantastic with the kind of support we've got here. However much I can thank the crowd it's not enough."
Rayudu is the Man of the Match.
Rayudu: "It was really good, and I'm happy that I contributed in a good way. I'm really happy to get a platform like the IPL. Last two games, I should have just waited and I'm learning from my mistakes. Wicketkeeping is tough, and today I did a good job. That's one area I'm under pressure, and I'm working hard on it."
That's all we have from here, folks. Thanks for tuning in and sending us your feedback. Tomorrow's another double-header, so join us then. Until then, on behalf of Raju from the scoring desk, this is Sid Talya signing off. Adios!
