Speaking at the post-match presentation, Shahrukh Khan reflected on his knock and said:"A lot of things were in my mind in the end, but I tried to keep it as simple as possible. The ball was rough, and the wicket got slow. So, I wanted to connect it off the middle of the bat. I was actually waiting to hit it over long-on, but I got the room to get it over square leg. We played a bit slow during the middle overs, but that's the trend of our team. Our roles are well-defined, and the top order has trust in me and Mohammed. Mohammed has been a special talent. It was a special thing to hit a last-ball six. I'll remember this moment for a long time."Shahrukh Khan will most probably be one of the most sought-after players during the upcoming mega auction before IPL 2022. Team India currently lacks a proper finisher after the retirement of MS Dhoni.Many believe that the Men in Blue should groom Shahrukh Khan for the role as he has shown immense potential in the chances he has got in domestic tournaments and the IPL so far.
