MI Cape Town Skipper, Head Coach Reflect On Historic Title Win

Rashid Khan (MI Cape Town Captain):

"Throughout the tournament, I think the way we played, especially tonight and that too, in the final game, was brilliant. We had a couple of tough years. The highest points across three seasons to start. I feel happy for this team. It was a brilliant effort from everyone. It was about how everyone responded under pressure. I think they deserve this."

"Throughout this season, we didn't play a selfish kind of innings. Everyone thought about what the team needed. Even tonight, everyone played their natural game. Even if it is 10 or 15 runs, everyone contributed how we wanted them to be. Great to have such a bowling line-up - KG Rabada, Corbin Bosch, Trent Boult and George Linde. It gives me the advantage. It's great to be part of this bowling group."

"It's amazing to be back for MI Cape Town. I missed last season with a back injury, and when I got a call before the season, I was asked if I wanted to lead the team, and I said yes, absolutely. It is a special occasion to be part of this MI family. This team has won every competition - MLC with MI New York, IPL with Mumbai Indians, and ILT20 with Emirates. Now, we have the SA20."

Robin Peterson (MICT Head Coach):

"I think the biggest thing was that we jelled as a team. The guys enjoyed each others company on and off the field. They have made a lot of friendships in the dressing room which will last for a long time. It was great campaign for everybody. Rashid led the side really well and many of us will not forget this day at all."

"I think it's pretty easy. All of those cricketers have their own standards. I am just really proud of my team as I walk out to receive the Spirit of Cricket Award on behalf of the entire team. I think the team environment was the standout thing for me. You can see the energy in the field, especially the fielding. I am really happy as they have made a lot of friends from this season."
