Thanks @haind

Yes HTMLInputElement worked for input field

//Example
var elem = e.currentTarget as HTMLInputElement;
elem.setAttribute('my-attribute','my value');
elem.value='5';

This HTMLInputElement is interface is inherit from HTMLElement which is inherited from EventTarget at root level. Therefore we can assert using as operator to use specific interfaces according to the context like in this case we are using HTMLInputElement for input field other interfaces can be HTMLButtonElement, HTMLImageElement etc.
