That's it from us for this match then. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. The final should be a star-studded affair with six members of India's Test squad set to play in the match. Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja join Cheteshwar Pujara in the India Blue side, while India Red will have Shikhar Dhawan, Stuart Binny and Amit Mishra joining them. Do join us for the final that gets underway on Saturday. Until then, it's goodbye!
Agarwal - I think that felt nice, after the first game. Facing the pink ball I think it was easy. I do believe it was mind over matter and even Gauti bhai said if it's going to swing, it's going to swing. We just need to go out there and play the ball. I'm just looking to spend more time at the crease and that has been working out well for me. All the focus will be on winning the match (final against India Red). My focus will be on helping the team win the match.
Mayank Agarwal is the Man of the Match.
Gautam Gambhir - I thought the toss was crucial, but that, of course, is not in our hands. Putting 700 runs on the board was crucial. Very professional performance. I have always believed that a good team makes a good captain. It's the other 10 people who make a good captain. It's those people in the park who stand next to me who make me successful, so credit must go to them. Whether it's Delhi or KKR, it depends on the kind of squad i have. Mayank is a talented cricketer who keeps a cool head. If he can keep learning and continue improving, he's got a bright future. We need to start well (in the final) to win a five day game, hopefully, we should be up for it. It's another game of first-class cricket. It's not about individual performances, it's about how we play as a team.
Parthiv Patel - When you get hit for 700 runs, it's never easy to make a comeback. I have never kept wickets for four days in a row. I think it's difficult to point out one thing (batting or bowling). We did not play well in the entire game. Conceding 700 runs in the first innings, overall we played a bad game.
8.25pm Gautam Gambhir, the India Blue captain, shakes hands with the batsmen and that will be the end of the day's play. While the match ended in a draw as expected, it was an entertaining final session in terms of strokeplay. Green's batsmen had some fun and were especially severe on Karn Sharma, the legspinner. But credit to Karn for not hesitating to toss it up despite repeatedly being tonked around by M Vijay and Robin Uthappa. He eventually got both of them out with his flight. So Blue make it to the final and will meet Red.
