“Second cup, back-to-back, two in a row, so glad and happy, I mean the best performance by the team with the bat and the ball, and I think we have been dominating this whole season and to finally get this through the end of the year, unbelievable to be winning it back-to-back, so happy for the guys and everyone has been putting in a great show and a very strong team that we played against today but happy to get the win at the end of the day,” Kavya Maran said after the match.

It's a great feeling: Aiden Markram

After the win, Sunrisers’ skipper Aiden Markram came forward to express his feelings as well. It is worth noting that Markram stayed unbeaten on a score of 42 runs in 26 deliveries, helping his side post a big total on the board, and eventually leading them to yet another title win.

"It's a great feeling; to be in the final was a proud moment, and to rock up here and play that game of cricket was a testament to where we're going as a team. The competition is tough, every game you have to be at your best, nice to have got some momentum and carry that through, but today was a fresh start and luckily we put together a good performance. The bowlers were the shining light and the batters got us over the line. Incredibly proud of this group,” Markram was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
