Shivam Dube gets Player of the Match for his all round show

"It was really cold. I enjoyed playing on this ground. Playing after a long time and batting at number four, there was some pressure one me. I had one thing in my mind that I have to play my game. First 2-3 balls, I feel a bit of pressure, after that I just focus on the ball and I don't think much on what's going on. In T20s, I know what I bat, and I know I can hit big sixes, so I can generate runs any time. Bowling, today I got the opportunity and I executed what I needed," said Shivam Dube at the post-match presentation.

Rohit Sharma on India's win

"It was extremely cold. Now I am okay. When the ball hits the tip of the finger, it's sore. In the end, it was good. Lot of positives, we got a lot from this game, especially with the ball. Our spinners bowled really well and the seamers did the jobn as well. These things happen (on the run-out), you want to be out there and score runs for the team. Everything will not go your way. I wanted Gill to carry on. Lot of positives. Dube, Jitesh batted well, Tilak as well and then Rinku is in good form as well. We want to challenge ourselves in areas we are slightly uncomfortable with. We want to make sure that we come out on top," said Rohit Sharma at the post-match presentation.

Ibrahim Zadran speaks after Afghanistan's loss

"We were short by 30-40 runs. Unfortunately we lost the toss but the boys fought till the end. We were trying to have a good start in the powerplay. We lost wickets, one of us had to bat till the 14-15th over and that put under a bit of pressure. In the second innings, there was dew. Gripping was hard for the bowlers. We have to improve our fielding, we were a bit lazy. We'll try to improve our batting as well. In bowling, there's no issue," said Ibrahim Zadran at the post-match presentation.
