MI vs LSG Scorecard and Highlights: Lucknow Super Giants end their season on a high with a comfortable 18-run victory over Mumbai Indians

Player of the Match, Krunal Pandya: "It's been a tough season for us, good to get a win and end on a higher note. The end goal was to go to the playoffs and give it a shot, nonetheless to end the season on a winning note is pleasing. Fielding is related to fitness and whatever hard work is a reflection of that. [on the last over-fielding effort of his] I went for it and saved it."

MI Captain, Hardik Pandya: "Quite difficult. Did not play good quality cricket, which eventually costed us the whole season. It's a professional world. Have to always come out and put our best foot forward. But yes, as a group we could not play quality cricket or smart cricket. Too early to point out what went wrong. The whole season kind of went wrong. We can pass this game as another one (that went wrong)."

It's always about playing for the badge, playing for pride - all those words are important in the group. We know where we stand. But ending the season playing good cricket will always be appreciated. It gives us more freedom maybe to go out there and express ourselves.
