Rohit Sharma said that I thought we batted well, in the end we could have added 10-15 runs more. We always wanted a set batsman to last till the end, Suriya did it. Overall a great batting effort with good bounce, a pitch where you can trust your shots. You have to be smart to bat on these kind of grounds. You can’t forget to push the balls into the gap, scoring 8-9 runs in an over can be a very effective plan. It was a very good practice match for us.

Mohammed Shami is making a comeback after a long time

The Indian captain further said that there is room for improvement, but I want more consistency from the bowlers. You need to keep things simple and hit the deck hard. Overall it was a good game for us, they (Finch-Maxwell) had a good partnership and it put pressure on us. Mohammed Shami is coming back after a long time, so we wanted to give him an over. I wanted to challenge him by giving him the last over and you see he did.
