Talking about being part of DC and how it feels, Shreyas said, "The IPL always amazes you, it's one of the toughest leagues to play. I'm overwhelmed to be part of it, and I'm really proud of my boys. The way they have played to reach the final, it's not easy. Winning the IPL would have been better, but we will see to it that we lift the trophy next year".
The batsman even thanked head coach Ricky Ponting and said he is a pleasure to work with. "Ricky, the amount of freedom he gives us is outstanding. THe way he motivates players is simply amazing. His team meetings and motivational speeches it quite incredible".
Iyer even thanked the fans who have supported them from home. He said, "I would like to thank our fans, and we're thankful for all the support that has been showered on us throughout the season".
