India vs Australia: Captains Thought

Suryakumar Yadav: " We will look to bowl first. The ball will come onto the bat nicely here. That is just parts and parcels of the game. We are taking one game at a time. Same thing. We go out and enjoy. We actually got 3 changes. Jitesh Sharma comes in for Sanju Samson. Harshit Rana makes way for Arshdeep Singh. Washington Sundar is in for Kuldeep Yadav."

Mitchell Marsh (Australia Captain): "Yeah, the stats suggest I’m usually a bowl-first captain, but looking at this belter of a wicket — and obviously, we love playing here."
