I would like to thank Sachin and Dravid for what they've done for Indian cricket: Rohit Sharma

Mumbai: There could not have been a better send off to Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar on his last T20 match of his career as Mumbai Indians won the second Champions League title, beating Rajasthan Royals by 33 runs in the final at Ferozeshah Kotla here on Sunday.

Ecstatic about the title win, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma said that it was a nerve-biting game. "It was a nerve-biting game. We thought the dew would come in. Maxy (Glenn Maxwell) finished off really well. We held our nerve in the end. Winning this was like the icing on the cake," said Rohit, adding that he would like to thank Sachin and Dravid for what they've done for Indian cricket.

Harbhajan Singh, who was man-of-the-match for his outstanding bowling said that it was a great feeling winning two cups in one year. “It was a little easier to score with the new ball. The ball was getting a bit wet. That over I took three wickets was probably the best I've bowled the last three months. I didn't practice much before this series as I was traveling to the US," said Harbhajan.


Meanwhile Rajasthan Royals skipper Rahul Dravid that Ajinkya Rahane and Sansom did a fantastic job. "How good was Rahane and Samson? We gave them too much to do. Mumbai were the better side but it was a terrific effort from Rajasthan Royals. Tambe too was good. It was a close game till the end. I've loved working with Rajasthan," said Dravid.

Meanwhile Dwayne Smith was the Man of the Series. "Would like to thank my batting coach Robin Singh. It was good to see we could move to 200 if you saw where we were at after 10 overs," he said.

Ajinkya Rahane won the Golden Bat for his 288 runs. The Golden Wicket went to 41-year-old Pravin Tambe for his 12 wickets.
