Uthappa: We wanted to retain wickets till the end and then go after the bowling. There was a bit of spongy bounce so I was looking to bat till 16 overs and then go after the bowling. Anil has brought the guys together wonderfully and all the foreign players are gelling really well. I hurt myself diving in the last over of our innings, but I should be fine soon. The only room for improvement I feel is that we need to score more singles in the first 6 overs.
Robin Uthappa is the Man of the Match
Kumble: It's great to win at home in front of a full house. Robin Uthappa batted exceptionally well and the bowling unit fired in unison. We were looking to set them 150 but in the end I am proud of the way we played. No matter how much we strategize outside the field, we have to execute them well on the field and glad the guys did the job. Steyn did really well upfront and he was well supported by PK, Kallis and Vinay Kumar.
Raina: Uthappa batted well but our 2 dropped chances cost us big in the end. We haven't chased well in the last 2 games so we need to tinker around with the batting order. Dhoni will be travelling to Mumbai for the next game, let's see how he feels before the game.
