"It's pretty hectic (two finals in 10 days). Especially when you lose, it runs through your mind a lot. The way everyone turned up in numbers was outstanding to see. The whole stadium was electrifying. Thank you so much for coming and supporting (to the fans). Don't want to pinpoint any particular incident. Just a one-off game where you can't pinpoint on anyone - it's basically backstabbing, and I don't enjoy that," Iyer said.

"We have learnt a lot. Pretty common to feel dejected after losing the final. It must hurt them. When they come back next year, they will have that motivation and confidence. They should be proud of their efforts. They came in here, not too much experience, and playing in front of 20000 people - it's not easy. I've been there, done that. When the nerves get into you, you tend to make mistakes, but it teaches you a lot, and you come back stronger," Iyer added as quoted by Cricbuzz.
