DECCAN CHARGERS WIN BY 9 RUNS



  • SANGAKKARA: "It was great to win. With the home crowd, in the last match of the season, I am glad we won."
  • KOHLI: "We could have played better shots, we did not play the right shots on that wicket. We did not get in first. My wicket probably changed the game. We just need to learn from our mistakes and come back stronger next year. The wicket was not that bad to bat on ... you need to have clarity in the mind about what sort of shots to play."
