"In Kolkata it was like 42-43 degrees leading in the days into the final and 90 per cent humidity, so it was like an oven and then you return home to a frost. It is nice to have a sweatshirt on because I haven't had one on for two months," Bond was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz on Saturday.
The 39-year-old said he has not got anything to do for the next few months until September when he will return to coach Mumbai.

"There is a lot of speculation around the Champions League, but there will be some sort of tournament in September. That is probably my next port of call with Mumbai, but other than that I haven't got anything on the schedule. I will have to find something to do, hopefully with cricket," he said.
Fan frenzy
Bond added the last few months have been surreal and that he has been lucky to witness all the frenzy.
"The noise and intensity from the fans is full-on, so it's a hell of a lot of fun to play in and particularly at home (Mumbai). And the teams are very, very even.
