Shahbaz Ahmed, who won the Man of the Match award, said, “The captain and coach told me that depending on the situation we would use you, my role was to bat in the lower order and they said if we collapse we will send you .”

It is important to note that Shahbaz was signed as an Impact player in the game after SRH lost six in the game.

“When I was batting, I felt that this wicket had something and the way Avesh (Khan) and Sandeep (Sharma) bowled it showed. I am proud to have got Man of the Match in such a game, the atmosphere is quite relaxed in the camp just let’s celebrate after winning the final, tonight we will just relax”, he added.
