POTM Jasprit Bumrah said:
āThis was a close game. Much closer than what we thought it would go. Of course you want to make an impact when the ball does something. In this format the ball swings two overs. When I want to bowl more, I play Test cricket. That fulfills my desires. This format is a little difficult for bowlers, with time restrictions and impact player rules. Batting lineup becomes deeper and deeper. But that's not in your control. I do relay the message to the bowlers whenever I can. But you also don't want to deliver too many messages in the heat of the moment,ā Bumrah said.
Winning captain Hardik Pandya said:
āVery good game of cricket. Everyone's nerve got tested. We did speak about before the game that the character will be checked in this game. Naturally you think you're ahead in the game. But we knew IPL has a tendency to produce these games. Unbelievable - coming in and playing like that. Almost every ball hitting the middle. Happy for him and chuffed for his future,ā Pandya said.
Losing skipper Sam Curran said:
āAnother close one, I think this team likes a close one, but unfortunately another loss. Another incredible knock from the young guy (on Ashutosh), but another close loss. It's very tough, you want to lose close games rather then getting absolutely thumped, but we've lost a lot of wickets at the start, the way the younger guys have taken the team so close is heartening (on Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma). They have incredible confidence, you see a guy like Ashutosh having the confidence to play the sweeps and the big hits against pacers, it's so great to watch them in action. It's disheartening to lose close games, but there are a lot of positives in this team. We still have the belief in us, we believe we can turn this around, the sun will come up tomorrow and we will hopefully get on a winning run,ā Curran said.

Both sides will lock horns at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur in the 33rd game of the tournament on Thursday, April 18.
Both Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians have had seasons to forget so far in the IPL. Both sides have played six games in the tournament so far, and have managed to register two wins in the season. Punjab Kings will come into the game on the back of a loss against Rajasthan Royals, and the side will aim to turn their fortunes around.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians will be coming into the game on the back of a loss in their previous game as well. MI took on Chennai Super Kings in their previous game, where they were outclassed by the defending champions.
Aiming to take on the out-of-form Punjab, MI will aim to register their third win of the season and move up in the standings. The new skipper Hardik Pandya is already under the heat and will have to give his best to silence the noise around him.
