It's difficult to get Gill out 🤪I will pick him today. 😆The jinx does not work on him. 🤪

Vijay Shankar: (On personal form) Feeling really good, the most important thing is to contribute to the team success, feeling happy about that. I think we have been playing some really good cricket, very important to trust our hard work and the playoff is something really interesting and a nice place to be in, so important for us to go out there and enjoy ourselves. (On pressure of playing qualifier 2) Pressure is always there, very important to enjoy the pressure and do our best. Irrespective of the game, it is important for us to do our best and trust the process. (On whether he is available to bowl) Hopefully, I keep practicing for that. Never know with the new rule and we have a lot of all rounders in the side as well, so it's important for me to just keep preparing. If it happens, it happens.

We have an important update. Toss at 19:45 IST | Ball one at 20:00 IST.
