Trent Boult: There's no secret. In finals cricket, it's all about enjoying. Going out there and try to do the job. What a great way to finish the tournament. To see some fireworks like that from Mr. Pooran's bat was very special. Will really enjoy a a very successful couple of weeks.

Shayan Jahangir: The trust and support I have been getting from the franchise, it's been commendable. The backing we got brought us this trophy. The amount of talent we have in the US, we can match any country in the world. The exposure is going to take us to places and we'll put US cricket on the map.

Tim David: Championships are hard to win. Lost a couple of finals but this is an awesome moment. Everyone here were treated to a very special innings. Nicky P, bloody awesome. I got the first class seat in the house. I just let him do his magic. It was a slow start (to the tournament), we really gelled and found some momentum. Everyone contributed at some point. It takes a whole squad, whole support staff to win the cup and we've done it.

Robin Petersen (MI NY coach): We tried to keep our composure and keep it cool. It was always going to be about the team, it was a team effort. A lot of adversities due to injuries, but the players were calm, they believed in each other, showed their fighting qualities.

22:54 Local Time, 03:54 GMT, 09:24 IST: MI New York are the champions of the inaugural edition of Major Cricket League. The brand MI continues to add trophies to their cabinet, doesn't matter which league they are a part of! Showing their dominance across different leagues, across different continents. But let's take some time to realise what we have just witnessed. This innings by Pooran, it will take some time to sink it. The MI New York captain has played an absolutely scintillating knock in the grand finale of the season. Tells you why he is rated so highly in this format! Walked out to bat in the first over of the run chase and took charge right from the word go. He kept punishing the bowlers right throughout the match, never looked like stopping. Wickets were falling from the other end, but Pooran continued to take on the bowlers, dealing in sixes and boundaries. He had a few fifty-run stands during the chase, but it was him who did most of the scoring. The Seattle Orcas would have been happy after posting such a challenging total at the halfway stage, but they would have hardly anticipated that they were going to be hit by a storm called Nicholas Pooran. He had saved his best for the night of the final and the spectators in Dallas were really lucky to witness such an entertaining knock. Let's hear what the MI NY players got to say after winning the title..

Gannon to Pooran, FOUR, MI New York win by 7 wickets! A yorker to end the match as Pooran brings his bat down in time and squeezes it past the stumps and the ball is away to the fine leg boundary at the rate of knots. Pooran was down on the floor after digging out the yorker, but he roars out loudly as soon as he realises that MI New York have won. The MI support staff, his team mates storm on the field and hug their captain. Few of them even salute him. Their owner - Mrs Nita Ambani is now having a chat with Nicky P and thanking him for the kind of knock he has played tonight! The fireworks go up in Dallas
