Suryakumar Yadav

We discussed this before this match – what brand of cricket we want to play. Even if it’s a shorter target or whatever target we are chasing, this is the pattern that we would like to go ahead with. With the weather conditions about, whatever under 160 would have been pleasant. The games which we have understood here before have repetitively been difficult. Rain helped us. The way the boys batted it was amusing. We’ll sit and select what we want to do going on (when asked if they’ll test their bench strength). I was very happy for the boys and the way they presented their skill and talent and a lot of attractiveness in hard situations.

Charith Asalanka

I am really dissatisfied with the way we batted at the death and about our middle order and lower middle order, including me. We must really progress in our batting. On this field, when the ball gets older, it gets really hard to bat. As proficient cricketers, we have to do well. We were behind by 15-18 runs. Unfortunately, the weather also played a role, and we can’t control that. It’s easy when it arises to an 8-over game with a wet outfield.

Ravi Bishnoi | Player of the Match

The pitch was a little different from yesterday. It was revolving a bit. Today, in the first innings, it was helping the spinners. What I bowl, that’s a good pace for me. I stick to my plans. I just love bowling the wrong ‘uns. The things that work for me, I try to bowl, and wrong ‘uns work for me against the left-handers. It’s a good responsibility to have (to bowl at the death). It means that the management and captain trust in you. I would love to take that responsibility.
