Captains in the draw
Rohit sharma: Would have played first too, get better under the lights. I’ve been here a few weeks so please understand the conditions better. Before coming here, we had a camp in Mumbai. I also had a quality internship here in Abu Dhabi. The key here will be to understand the conditions. The pitches for practice matches will be similar to what we will get here. Ready to go. The way we have been playing cricket for the past few years has been good. In general, we have had a good preparation. Now all about the execution. Four overseas: Quinton, Pollard, Pattinson, Boult. NCN still doesn’t quite fit in with some criticism. Good opportunity for Pattinson, who has been playing well for Australia.
MS Dhoni: I wanted to know if we can slip up (in line with social distancing). Will launch first. Dew comes out late at night. Also, to keep the wicket in good condition, they water it, so it tends to be sticky at first. During the confinement, feel free to take time for yourself to keep fit. I have to applaud all the team members. The first six days in quarantine are very difficult. I felt that each individual used that time well and no one was disappointed or frustrated. The practice facilities were very good. After the first 14 days, it was nice to get out. Being a gentleman’s game, you don’t think about revenge (against ME). You think about the mistakes you made. Four abroad: Watto, Faf, Sam and Lungi.
