What did Sam Curran say after winning the match?

After registering a 5-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings captain Sam Curran said during the post match presentation,

“I think we bowled really well as a team. We are very proud of the way we play. The way Nathan played his first game at Ellis was fantastic. When I came out to bat, Johnny said that the ball was coming to a stop. We were trying to build a partnership. After this Jitesh came and we made a good partnership.”

“We didn't need too many risks, just a few sixes. I enjoyed this season a lot, the captaincy experience was also very good. “It is very disappointing to leave, but obviously excited about the World Cup.”

“If we win our next match also, we will have 12 points. So I think this team was close to the playoffs, but it didn't happen. In the next few seasons, if we can retain some good players, we can do better. This time we did quite well. Target chasing against KKR, great performance by Shashank Singh, debut of Ashutosh, Harshal and Arshdeep also played well.”
