Presentation:

Dhawan: "Really tight. Bowlers bowled really well under pressure, especially Irfan and Bhuvi. I thought of Irfan bowling the last over and getting the main bowlers to pick up the wickets. Finding the groove now. The pitches here in the UAE have been very nice."

Bhuvneshwar is the Man of the Match: "I was looking to bowl well with the new ball. Steyn is mentoring us very well. Against Pollard my plan was to bowl him the yorker. Swing is my strength and that was how I got Rohit."

That's it from us here. Thankfully it didn't stretch like yesterday. Thanks for your company. Most of you guys can look forward to seeing your teams in the flesh for the next month with the IPL returning to India. Have fun and keep partying. Good night!

End of match: That's 5 defeats in a row for the defending champions, the opposite of what Kings XI achieved. It was down to Pollard but there was only so much he could do on his own. Sachin Tendulkar smiles as the players shake hands but he must be hurting on the inside.

Rohit Sharma: "We spoke about trying to get wickets and in the last five overs a big score was on the cards. We fielded first because we wanted to see what we needed to chase. We've got to win all the games from here on. Let's see what we can do in home conditions. We just have to stay positive, that's all I can say. Not a great birthday for me (smiles)."

Mahesh: "This is going pretty much similar to the match happened between these two teams in the last IPL. Pollard taking Mishra to the cleaners..... "
