During the chase, Rohit says that they kept their nerves and just wanted to express themselves. (On the pitch) He opines that the surface was dry and slow and that's why they kept changing the bowlers. Informs that the idea was to not let the Bangalore batsmen adjust to a particular bowler. Says that they have three games left and their focus will be on Punjab next.

(On every game they have to win from here on) He replies it's a wonderful situation to be in, they literally have to win all and it's exciting. He feels they have the momentum, it takes a lot of character but that's what you play cricket for.
Bangalore are now staring down the barrel after today's defeat and every game for them from hereon becomes a knockout. One loss and it will be bye bye! Mumbai on the other hand have done well to bounce back after a disappointing loss in the last match.
Chasing 152, Mumbai lost Parthiv Patel cheaply but then the pair of Rohit Sharma and Ambati Rayudu kept the chase on track by adding a 58-run stand. When this partnership got dislodged, the game entered into an interesting phase. The asking run rate was climbing when Kieron Pollard and Jos Buttler joined forces. The West Indian launched an attack and then the Englishman also joined the party. They showed no mercy on the hapless Bangalore bowling attack and targeted their best bowler, Shane Watson as well.
An outstanding win for Mumbai and they keep their campaign on track. It was a clinical game played by the defending champions where they first fared exceedingly well with the ball to restrict the home side to a below par total and then scaled down the target with 8 balls to spare.
