Mitchell Starc: (On the challenges of playing the IPL) You got all the best players in one spot, it’s pretty relentless at times with all the travel and play. One of those days where you compartmentalize and get on with the job. Be attacking - that’s been my role in many formats for many times. I try and be aggressive, swing the ball and make inroads. Try and adapt to conditions as quickly as we can. With the impact player rule, you have to try and think outside the box and think a step ahead. If it’s not swinging you need to find different ways to be effective. As bowlers collectively, people have found that, some have done it better than others. (Yorkers) Comes down to execution, some days it’s going to work and some days it isn’t. Some days you’re going to bowl an over and get the team over the line and some days the batter is going to get you. Been around for long enough to be a goldfish really, think about the next game really quickly. Sometimes you’re going to miss and sometimes you’re going to hit six in a row. Unfortunately it’s not going to happen every time.

Josh Inglis: The sixes (in the previous game) were honestly just me reacting to the ball, the move to three was something Shreyas and Ricky spoke about, they wanted to get me in inside the powerplay, thoroughly enjoyed my innings. This team is going so well, happy to slot in anywhere. (Challenges on playing in India) The different conditions you face, the plethora of world-class bowlers as well, you can come up against spinning wickets or you can get some really good wickets as well. He’s (Ponting) been really good around the group, he’s got a wealth of experience, his communication, especially with the younger guys has been awesome.

Pitch Report | Murali Kartik and Matthew Hayden: Some rain-clad mountains, there's a bit of rain in the air. Last game, it was pitch 4, we are on pitch no. 6 but it looks very similar. Dimensions - 61m and 68m square boundaries, 75m down the ground.
