[Middle order performing] Last game, we talked about our middle order finishing the game. The way Rahul bhai finished the game was magnificent to watch.
Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings Captain): "It looks beautiful. A little bit of grass on it. A black soiled surface, a little bit unusual. We have played a game on this surface earlier. Yeah, it looks beautiful.
Yes, Xavier comes in. Vyshak comes in as well on the bowling side. It is not frustration. It is an intense league. It takes a lot of effort in the practice session. It is just another game. We will try to execute to the best of our abilities."
