A day before the match, the captain of the Indian team talked to the media. Bangladesh player Tauheed said that the pitch will be slow and will not score big. Suryakumar said in a hint that he is ready for captaincy in IPL.
Naiduniya Representative, Gwalior: Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav said, Sanju Samson will open with Abhishek Sharma in the T20 series against Bangladesh starting from Sunday. Only Sanju will start the innings. Not only this, he will also play as an opening batsman in the series. Talking about Bangladeshi batsman Tauheed Hridoy in the press conference, Surya said, the behavior of the pitch will be known in the match to be held tomorrow (Sunday) whether the pitch is slow or fast because the stadium is new.
In the practice session, we have practiced on both sides of the center pitch, where it felt good. This will be Surya’s fourth series as captain, he has enjoyed the role so far, he said in response to a question. Really enjoying this new role. When I was playing under the captaincy of Rohit in Mumbai Indians, whatever I felt at that time, I used to give my input. I had earlier captained against Sri Lanka and also led teams against Australia and South Africa.
I have learned from other captains how to take the team forward. When Suryakumar was asked about the captaincy of IPL, he indicated that he is ready to captain the Indian Premier League (IPL) in future. He laughed and said, you bowled a googly. Let’s look ahead, you will know the rest. Let’s see what happens in the future. You people will come to know about it. Mayank Yadav is expected to debut.
Pitch will be slow, big score will not be made: Tauheed
Bangladesh’s top batsman Tauheed Hridoy has given a big statement regarding the pitch, a day before the T20 series against India starting on Sunday. He said that the pitch looks very slow, so big scores cannot be expected. We want to forget the defeat in the Test series and win this series. While talking to journalists on Saturday before the last practice session of the first T20 match, Hridoy said that the team’s preparation is good. We will definitely win. The team has prepared for the T-20 series in Dhaka before the Chennai Test. There are only five players in the team, who were also part of the Test team. Regarding the pitch, he said that it is a new ground and we do not know about the wicket, but we have been trying to know the nature of the pitch in the practice sessions for the last few days. Said- I have also seen the wicket myself. After knowing everything, it seems that the pitch will be slow and big scores will not be made. Recently, when big scores were made in MPL matches, he said that those were local matches, now this is an international match. On the question of his own batting order, Hridoy said that wherever the team gives the opportunity, I would like to make the team win by playing big innings. Regarding the Indian team without stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, he said that on the international stage it does not matter who is in the team or not. You have to play yourself on the field, the team that plays well will win.
