\u201cI have been bowling well in this series. In today\u2019s match I bowled a lot of bad deliveries and was a bit lucky to get all these wickets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irfan also thanked the support staff for giving him a lot of confidence, on his batting Irfan said, \u201cI have been practicing quite hard, I am happy with my batting performance in the series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka\u2019s stand-in captain Angelo Mathews <\/a>after the loss said, \u201cIt was encouraging to see youngsters taking the responsibility. We gave away far too many runs and that cost us the match in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sri Lanka\u2019s overall performance in the series, Mathews said, \u201cWe did a lot of mistakes and that was the downfall. We played badly in crucial moments and that reflects in the result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indian captain MS Dhoni<\/a>, who played a splendid innings said, \u201cGambhir and Tiwary gave us a nice platform to play our strokes. It was a good pitch and the ball was coming nicely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dhoni however, showed concern over the bowling department, he said, \u201cWe need to improve in both departments especially bowling. It was good to see that our batsmen looked to play long innings as that provided extra cushion to the bowlers.\u201d<\/p>\n
