Kumar Sangakkara is the Man of the Match: "I don't think I can play any other way than conventional. I think we've got a fantastic batting line up. Full credit should go to our bowling side. Our performance today showed we're doing the right things and the hard work paid off."
Yuvraj: "We came back really well and fielded brilliantly. It's his(Sangakkara's) job to play till the end. The energy he (Lee) got into the game today, that run-out got everyone going."
Harbhajan: "We didn't bat that great. Well done to Yuvi and his team. It was a different experience ( playing against Mohali in Mohali). Once we get him (Sachin) back we'll probably play better cricket. We need one win to get back on track. I'm enjoying the challenge(of captaincy)."
A brilliant all-round performance then from the Kings XI as they crushed Mumbai by 66 runs. Sangakkara set it up beautifully with 94. Lee's fiery spell put Mumbai on the backfoot and then Chawla and Co. put the skids on.
