It's not easy, I am happy to go out there and express myself. I would like to thank the support staff and Hardik bhai, they've shown faith. That shows so much impact on my mind. I try to play how team needs and how I can express myself towards the plan. I try to score quickly, how many shots I can play in the powerplay and put my team in a nice shape. Reading the wicket, reading the situation, how I can take the game deep everything is important. My intent is always to score runs. I have played a lot of balls against them (Holder and McCoy in the IPL), helped me to read them. It (partnership with Gill) was really amazing the way we were talking and the way we were taking singles and understanding each other. He batted really well. The way he was rotating the strike, it's really important to build the partnership. I want to thank everyone coming here and supporting us in this heat. Thank you so much.

- Yashasvi Jaiswal | Player of the Match

23:53 (IST), Aug, 12

There are more Indians here. The way they have been supporting, they make sure that we give them some entertainment. There is no doubt in their skill set. Going forward, we'll have to take responsibility as batters and help our bowlers. Shubman and Yashasvi were brilliant. The way they ran in the heat ... and ... they finished the job. I like to captain how I see the game. I like to go with my instincts. It was our own error in the first game. We didn't do much different in the next two games. All these games gives us a lot of confidence. We had to pull up our socks and play good cricket, that's exactly what the boys did. In T20 cricket, no one's favourite. You got to respect the opposition. Tomorrow we turn up and do exactly what we did today.

- India skipper Hardik Pandya after win

23:53 (IST), Aug, 12

It's a pretty good batting surface. We were maybe 10-15 runs short. Having said that, Hetmyer and Hope played well. We didn't stick to our plans, you'll always find under pressure against quality batters. We didn't bat well in the middle overs. If we can improve against spin, we can do well. It's 2-2, tomorrow is the final and in a final, I back the West Indies. I am okay and ready to the lead the side tomorrow.
