Azim Kazi ( Player of the Match and Captain, Ratnagiri Jets)- "First off all, we played according to our plan. We got off to a great start thanks to our openers.
Our spinners bowled a tighter length and Satyajeet Bacchav was the standout spinner for us today. Everyone is experienced and I feel lucky to have such champion bowlers in my team.
Divyang took us the big wicket of the opposing captain Kedar Jadhav. We stick to our plans and got the desired result.
We will hope to take this momentum forward."

Shrikant Mundhe(Vice Captain, Kolhapur Tuskers)- "Once you lose 4 wickets in the powerplay, it becomes difficult to catch up. I think we played too many dot balls and we need to do better.
We didn't really start well in the powerplay with the ball but came back well in the middle phase. Our spinners bowled good. If we could score 40 runs losing 1 or 2 wickets, we would have been in the game.
Fielders were good. Yes we had some misses as it is the first game. It is a long tournament of 10 games. We have had a bad day. We need to regroup and take the momentum forward."
