Captain's Quotes

Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "We will bowl first. The wicket looks good and we all know that the dew comes out as the evening progresses. As I said, it was difficult for the last two days. As they say, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Lots of positives, and looking forward to the series. See, the guys have played plenty of cricket at the domestic level and franchise cricket. Just told them to express and enjoy themselves. Let me see it again (On who is missing out from the XI). Washington, Avesh, and Shivam are sitting out. "

Matthew Wade (Australia Captain): "We would have done the same thing, would have bowled. Wicket looks tacky, not many reasons. Every game and opportunity we get to play for Australia and especially against India is special for us. We have got a few changes, few young players getting an opportunity to play in India for the first time. There are just 10 or 11 games before the next T20 World cup so important for guys who start to get some continuity in the batting and bowling group. We have given few of the World cup guys a day off so Maxwell, Head, there's one another - Zampa. We are giving them some rest."
