But when we started engaging I realized the potential and the seriousness of this format. My brief to the team was to maintain the highest cumulative score from the very beginning and that’s what worked for us. My all-rounder team with its sheer perseverance and never say die attitude won a neck-to-neck match against AA Werewolves. A shout out to the Unicorns for their dedication, discipline and for putting ’WE’ before ‘ME’. I hope there is a next season and we are a part of it.”
