Talking about the strip he is playing on and what he would do if he was the bowling captain, he said: “It’s a good wicket, so we need to bowl well to defend it. Powerplay Was brilliant but as the ball got older the bounce dropped and we lost momentum losing a few wickets in the middle overs, hope Ashwin and Chahal can do that for us.It’s a possibility, we built a team like that Where everyone is comfortable bowling anywhere, so that is an option but obviously Trent Boult is bowling really well as well.”
