Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "I mean, until and unless you are winning the game, losing the toss doesn't matter. The team is looking good. Just want to go out there and express. It's always good to understand what the team's goal is. Every batter realized that it wasn't a 200-wicket. They responded brilliantly. The energy was good on the field. All the boxes were ticked in the last game, and we want to continue the good work. It's good to win bilaterals, but you want to see what combinations are going forward. Everyone is doing well, understanding their positions. It's completely fine. Other than the openers, everyone has to be flexible in this format. It's a team sport at the end of the day. We have one change tonight. Tilak Varma is resting, and Rinku Singh comes in."
