Winning captain Rohit Sharma collects Rs 20 crore | Sharma: "Throughout the tournament we played some good cricket which was the reason we qualified at the top. We planned to split the tournament into two parts, every thing we did as a team we got the rewards for them.

Both teams made a lot of mistakes, they made one lesser mistake."

"That's Lasith Malinga for you. He's the only bowler to have done it for 10-12 years now. He's a special man in our team. I think it's the environment we create around the team, we treat the entire team as a family. I must credit the efforts of the coaching as well as the back-room staff."
"The key moment was Dhoni's run-out. But also in patches when Bumrah bowled those critical to even out Malinga's one poor over was also crucial. And the last over, thought Malinga finished the game out beautifully. And as for the final, we knew we defended 129 in the final two years ago, so we were confident. I think we have a terrific team - with experience and youth. As Mahela said, Rahul Chahar stands out the way he's bowled this season. Just fabulous."
Coach Mahela Jayawardene: We trusted the group. Great decisions from Rohit to go back to the experienced bowlers. We love close games but we don't want any more though.
