Stay on for the quotes from the post-match ceremony.

Ash: "I would like to congratulate Alok Kapali for his brilliant hundred and also Tamim. Gambhir and Raina played well." On dropped catches: "They are trying their best and I think it's part of the game."

Man of the Match: Suresh Raina "I am really happy the way I have played these three matches. Gautham was playing very well out there and I just wanted to stay there and give him company. I decided to play my shots when the ball is in my slot."

Dhoni: "It was a tough game the moment we started as in the last 84 hours we have played 36 hours of cricket. I was disappointed some what with the fast bowlers as they bowled too full or too short. The spinners bowled very well. Raina's back to back centuries is some achievement." On dropped catches: "It's not only my team as you see most teams are dropping catches on this ground! Perhaps, it's because of playing back to back games. Ojha bowled really well, flighted and varied his pace. A very good debut. It's good sign that Sehwag, Gambhir and Raina have got runs but we need to keep it going and score in the final."

That's it from us. Thanks for logging on. Alvida!
