We did what we needed to do today. Nice clinical chase. The captain, he’s been doing that all season. Tonight is his first IPL century. We’ll sit back and celebrate. There’s a reason I spent so much money (on Iyer in the first half) in the auction a couple of years ago. We were pleased to play at the level we did. I’ve never seen a great player (Prabhsimran) in the last few seasons when we have seen him play a mature innings, we will try to get the boys together and watch it (RR-MI match),” Ponting said.
