Full commentary

How so typical of SRT to give credit to others after a good performance from himself. Good note to end the night on. Okay bye

Sachin Tendulkar is winning captain, and is also the Man of The Match Says he: "Shikhar batted really well, the first over set the tone. From the other end I started getting a few boundaries. We managed to put pressure on them early on, and later on it was a matter of staying there till the end. Bravo, McLaren, Zaheer, Malinga, Harbhajan, all bowled really well, and also the fielders."

Sourav Ganguly "About 10 runs short, but I though it was fighting total. We don't bowl well upfront. [About his catches] Putting a bit of an effort on the field. This game requires it. [About the team] Hopefully we can turn it around from here."

Handshakes all around, and SRT has seen Mumbai through. KKR yet to beat Mumbai in IPL.Solid bowling from Mumbai, and lovely batting from SRT. Thanks for writing in many mails to us. Hang on for the presentation
