"The situation where we are in, we just need to fight and we have to fight hard. Just not talking stuff in the dressing room is going to help. You got to go out in the middle and execute, find ways to win. That's what I think we need to do," said Mayank Agarwal.

Mayank Agarwal believes the exceptional performances of bowlers was one of the main reasons behind Punjab Kings' success this year. Heaping praise on the bowlers, he added:

"I think a lot of credit should go to the bowlers. The way they've stood up and performed for us. They have really worked hard and it is paying off. Credit to them for the amount they are putting in, the courage they show and the way they are executing their skills."
