Yusuf: I know it was the most important innings from me and my team. I learnt a lot of things when i got out in the first innings against Mendis. I expected him to bowl in the same areas and I was ready to play my shot.
Warne: The crowd was fantastic. In those situations, both sides would have looked back and said we would’ve done that. For Yusuf Pathan to just walk out there and club a few sixes like that, well done to him, it was fantastic. (On choosing Kamran Khan for the last over): I thought about Yusuf. Kamran gave 6 runs off that last over, I thought he did it well. If you can bowl such a good last over, you can bowl the super over.
McCullum: Yeah it’s pretty disappointing obviously. We thought we were going to get ourselves across the line and even in the Super over we thought we had a reasonable score but the way Yusuf came out and played… He just blew us away. Sourav did incredibly well to get us back into the game. It’s incredibly disappointing but we’ve got a game in two days time so we’ve got to try and rebound. (For the super over) I think Ishant was an option but in the end Mendis, he’s an incredible bowler. Things could have gone differently if we had that catch taken (on the second ball) who knows how it would have unfolded.
Fast forward to the super over – Gayle blasted 15 off the super over from Kamran Khan. Then a major blunder by McCullum to give the ball to Mendis when Yusuf was on strike. Yusuf goes on and seals a terrific match with a couple of massive hits. Yusuf was mobbed by his team mates as Shilpa Shetty went wild alongwith her sister.
Yusuf Pathan is the Man of the Match.

    What a great match…best match of the IPL ever. This was the first time I watched the ‘Super Over’ thing and I think it’s better then the stupid ‘Super Bowl’ they had before..

    Feel bad for Dada though :(
