Ashwani Kumar said after the match, "It feels great, there was pressure in the beginning but the atmosphere of the team did not make me feel like that. I had just eaten a banana, there was pressure, so I was not feeling very hungry. I had planned a little, but he told me to enjoy myself on my debut and do what I am bowling."

Ashwani, who took 4 wickets against KKR, further said, "Hardik bhai told me to bowl short and on the body and the situation got me wickets. Everyone in my village was watching. They were just waiting for my debut, and by the grace of God I got a chance tonight."
