I have always been a team player, anything for the team, so happy with the result. Mohsin has a big heart. He had surgery and playing IPL after such a thing, the sky is the limit. It has not been easy for us, really happy to end on a good note here. Good to give them (fans) a win in this last game at this venue," said Krunal in a post-match presentation.Coming to the match, LSG was put to bat first by MI and they posted 177/3 in their 20 overs.
