At the post-match presentation, Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan reminisced on the victory, saying:

“It was an amazing game, was very close and we kept our cool whilst doing the job. The plan was to give a good start. I was dismissed early but we managed to score 60 runs at the end of 6 overs. Our plan was to stick to the basics. We lost wickets in the middle overs but then Shashank came in the middle and changed the game.”

He continued:

“We needed to keep the momentum, Shashank came out in the middle and smashed sixes effortlessly. He kept his cool and finished the game. He started at number 7 and now batting at number 5, it shows his mindset. Ashutosh came in and took the game away as well. Both kept their calm and helped up win the game.”
