9:10 pm I could see droplets of rain in the background even as the toss was on. The covers are being brought back as a precautionery measure. The pitch is covered with the 'jamkhaanas' (a cotton fabric) and the square is also under covers now
Sai Kishore: We started with two losses, but it was good to win the last match. The vibe is good in the team. It's a young side and everyone is energetic. Personally, I'm happy to be playing cricket after two months. I enjoy my cricket. One change. Our Yorker King (Natarajan) is back.
Ashwin: We'll bowl first. There's inexperience, but it's just a matter of one innings or one game to turn things around. We have a lot of good players. We need to have the belief. We'll look to gain two points from this game. Same team.
