Speaking at the toss, Suryakumar Yadav said, “Not at all. We were looking to bat first. We’ve seen the results here, and we’ve batted in the last two games and won both the games defending, so we don’t want to change anything.”
“I think it’s easy to say that it’s just another game, but it is an occasion. These games are always very high stakes, but at the same time, you’ve got to know what you want to do. That’s more important.”
“Stay in the present, back your skills, put your A game forward and be yourself. This sport teaches you a lot of things. On a given day, if you’re going well, then anyone can have a good day. Two changes. Abhishek Sharma comes in and Kuldeep Yadav comes in for Arshdeep Singh.
