Hello and welcome to live coverage of 3rd and final T20I between India and South Africa at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium,Bengaluru. |
|
India have won the toss and have opted to bat |
|
Virat Kohli: Going to bat. Looks like a nice wicket. I know it's a ground where teams chase well. Even in the IPL, it's a chasing ground. Heading into the World T20 though, we need to improve areas as a team. We're a good chasing team. Batting first is something we're also looking to strengthen. Results are always a priority, but we need to get out of our comfort zone also. Have a few plans in mind, will be looking to executing those. Unchanged team. |
|
Quinton de Kock: Will be a good wicket anyway, whether we batted or bowled. Just will have to try and compete, be the best players we can be. The last match was up and down for the team. Will try and come out and learn from our mistakes. One change - Hendricks comes in for Nortje, nice to have a leftie. |
