Speaking to the iplt20.com, the brothers were ecstatic after their superlative effort. Hardik noted that he is very proud of his elder brother.

"I am just proud of him. He has delivered champion performances time and again in this tournament and I am just glad to be sharing this moment with my brother. He has worked very hard for this moment and has put in the hard yards over the last couple of years. Now he is here and he truly deserves it. Champion stuff," said Hardik Pandya on Krunal.

"I give Hardik a lot of credit for my success. Also, our parents have always supported us till date irrespective of our performances and results. We would also like to thank our coach back home who has helped us day in and day out. Credit to the entire Mumbai Indians support staff and team management who have made us feel like family. Special mention for Kiran More sir, whose academy we have been playing for since childhood,"  Krunal returned the favor on Hardik.

"Just one word comes to my mind - Amazing. The way the boys pulled off this victory was absolutely brilliant. Rising Pune Supergiant had the game in their hands, but still our boys stuck to the task and sealed it," Hardik said on their IPL win.

"It is a dream come true for me. To play an IPL final and contribute to a winning cause is a proud feeling. A big game, on a big night and to end up lifting the trophy is a huge moment for me," which was followed by Krunal.
