India vs Australia: Amit Mishra wants wants Men in Blue to stick with the winning XI

Looking ahead to India’s second T20I against Australia in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday evening, JioCinema experts Amit Mishra and Abhishek Nayar spoke of their expectations from the Indian team.

Excerpts:

On India’s playing XI for the 2nd T20I

Amit Mishra: “In the 1st T20I, all the players were playing after a long time, so I think they should be given one more match before the management thinks about making any change in the XI. Also, there was nothing for the spinners in the pitch in Visakhapatnam. They should continue playing the winning XI.”

On Yashasvi Jaiswal’s aggressive approach

Abhishek Nayar: “See, this is his strength. He’s not a player who takes too much time to settle in. I think he’s been given the role to play with freedom. He plays in the same way for Mumbai in domestic cricket and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. If you are a player who is instinctively aggressive, then you should remain that way.”

On Suryakumar Yadav’s batting and captaincy

Amit Mishra: “He played a captain’s knock in the 1st T20I. He played to his strengths and did not make any change to his approach. The pressure of captaincy was visible when India were bowling, but he was really calm when he came to bat. He should continue maintaining the same approach.”
