That's it from today's coverage of the MPL match between Kolhapur Tuskers and Eagle Nashik TitansGourav Samal here, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Aditya Agarwal and Hrutuja Deshmukh and our scorer/analyst Asraj and Yogesh Kumar. Thank you for joining us. Stay tuned for all cricketing actions around the world. Good Bye. 
Rahul Tripathi (Captain Kolhapur Tuskers)- "I will give the credit to the Eagle Nashik Titans for their performance in the first innings. Then we had some good partnerships in the middle to chase down the target. Yogesh Dongare was exceptional during his stay on the crease. He kept on finding the boundaries to bring down the asking rate. Now we are in a good position. We want to keep improving from here and be the best team in the tournament. Will surely look forward to winning the tournament as well. The next match will again be a fresh start for the team."  
Ankit Bawne (POTM) - "Our captain always boosted us and gave us freedom to play the fearless rand of cricket. Today it was all about striking the ball at a higher rate from ball 1 and I enjoyed batting today. I think Yogesh played a game changing knock as he was aggressive from the ball 1. Our owners and team staff backed us even after we lost 4 matches, they told us to belief in ourselves and said that no matter we win or lose they will be behind us."
Orange Cap- Rahul Tripathi 
Prashant Solanki (Captain Eagle Nashik Titans): Today we played outstanding cricket, but they played even better cricket overall than us they kept scoring boundaries even in the middle overs, and the momentum was maintained by them. They outplayed us today. I am happy for Arshin Kulkarni but unfortunately, we didn't give him a win today. We are focused on the next match from now on and will keep the intensity higher.
