“There is a saying ‘ Jangal mein nacha mor, kisne dekha’ (who takes notice of the peacock’s dance in a jungle). [Sunil] Gavaskar sir, Sachin [Tendulkar] will read the papers and it has an impact. Performance against Mumbai in Mumbai matters,” Railways coach Harvinder Singh couldn’t contain his excitement.

Mumbai captain Suryakumar Yadav gave full credit to the opponent. “They outclassed us in all departments. They actually bowled really well. Karn played a fantastic knock. I am disappointed, so is the team.” he said.
