🏏Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #33: IND vs SL, Thread 2, Page 153 - Page 9

BurhanJ: "India should play with same XI. No need to do something as baffling as NZ did yesterday by bowling first. I am still struggling to get my head around the fact that they did not use the toss to their advantage. Also, India need to qualify before playing SA and Ned. These 2 teams are giving surprises everyday.

Kusal Mendis: We are going to bowl first. I think the pitch will be better for batting in the second part. Everyone did their best in the last few games. Hopefully they will continue to do the same today. One change, DDS is not playing, Hemantha is playing.

Rohit Sharma: Would have batted first. Obviously some assistance to start with but under lights there will be good assistance for our pacers. Great honour, great moment to lead the team. It's important for us to no get carried away by the performances we put in. Same team as the last game.

They should have had given Ashwin a chance instead of Siraj.

Somesh: "Don't change playing X1. Ashwin and Thakur are good players and they are ready for any opportunity, that's why they are in squad."
