“We wanted to bowl earlier as well, the nature and nature of the pitch. It gets better as the game goes on. We know we have to play good cricket to win, whether we bat first or bowl first, it doesn’t matter. We need to enforce ourselves more than ever. All the games you play are big games. You want to get some momentum with the win, we have been looking for that for three matches. (Suriyakumar) He is a quality player. Batting strong with him coming back. We expect the same not only from him but from everyone else as well. Tymal Mills left, Unadkat walks in. Daniel Sams got out too,” Rohit Sharma said.
Meanwhile, Faf said, ‘This is our first match here so not sure what it will do. Stadiums are initially laying grass to protect the surfaces. Hopefully there will be dew later. The good thing for me was that we were able to overcome in those games which were under pressure. Maxwell is back, has been really good for RCB. Replaces Rutherford. 4 position, he is a very good player of spin in that middle term. DK is doing really well, it’s the role and clarity that we have given to DK that will give him some continuity.”
