Reflecting on his team's victory against Chennai, Caldwell expressed, "It feels incredible to get the win. We worked on our offensive game before our match against Chennai. We also worked on playing together as a team and that helped us come through in the big moments. We were focussed on doing whatever it took to make our team successful and that really helped bringing us together to play as a team last night."
Caldwell also spoke about winning the Player of the Match Award, "I was super happy to win the Player of the Match. I am willing to do anything to help the team. I had a good night, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without the setters. It was a full team effort. It was a great night for all of us and I really enjoyed it."
Speaking about the Indian players in the Kochi team, the Attacker said, "We have a super talented team. Our Captain and Middle Blocker Karthik is incredible. He's doing a great job as a leader and also scoring a lot of points. Erin Varghese played incredibly last night. It's been really fun to play with a bunch of incredible athletes in our team."
