Camp talk

Rohit Sharma: There will be a psychological advantage a little bit, yes, but again what we have seen with IPL is every day is a fresh day, every day is a new pressure and every game is a new game. So you can't think too much about what has happened in the past," Rohit said on Monday. On the eve of the final, the skipper, though, didn't deny that any win gives a team extra confidence. "To be honest, we can't think about that we have played these guys before and we have beaten them. We just need to think that they are a new opponent and what will we do as a team against that opponent.

Ricky Ponting: Looking back now we are happy, it's been a good season but we are here to win the IPL and we will give it our best shot. "We got off to a good start but were a bit shaky towards the end but the boys have managed to really play two very good games out of three, and hopefully, we can play our best game in the final. "Didn't matter that we lost games. Each team won a couple, lost a couple but all of our losses came in a group and it was hard to change the momentum, but the boys did it and we find ourselves in the final and I think our best cricket is yet to come.
